    When we were first starting in this biz we purchased several silly
    polishers. Now we use the collector mounted units. We always use a
    p95 or p100 mask/resparator in addition to the collector. We have
    one unit that is the old style rio, which we bought used from a
    production company. Even though it is the cheaper oriental unit,
    (not baldor) it still works after 10 years. The newest unit is the
    new style collector from rio made by Pepe Tools. They put the light
    bulbs on one fixture to save money. Instead of the bulbs being on the
    outside of the work wheel they are on the inside so the light is
    blocked by any wheel bigger than 5 inches. 

    These tools will hold 2/3's of their value long after those others
    are dead and gone. Same goes for me, I aint a filter thats why I buy
    good ones for my work.
