Tuesday I was sanding blades with greasless on the buffers for about 4 or 5 hours. Doesn't seem long but Arizona summer heat is hard on you and equipment. When turning the buffer off, it would slowly labor at restart.

Filthy and tired, showered up, went out to get something to eat, and walked into the start of our big dust storm. Wound up as dirty as when I was working. If you didn't see the videos, a clip is below.

To the point. Today, got back into it on compounds. Buffer started slowly, touched black compound to wheel, and the buffer wanted to kick it out of my hand. It was spinning backwards. May have been Doomsday for a blade if I had jumped right in.

Stopped it, hand spun it the right way. When I started while it was coasting, all fine and normal now at start/stop.

I blame it on the Doomsday storm
