Default Old School Orbital

My Dad busted out an orbital that was given to him when he was a teenager. I'm guessing I shouldn't go near my Lexus with this thing haha

That's not an orbital, it's a rotary.

^Agreed... Looks like a rotary.

Not recommended to use on your vehicle unless you are a very well trained professional... those machines can do a lot of damage very quickly in the wrong hands. A dual action/random orbital machine is much safer and beginner friendly (and WAY more practical!). Rotary machines are almost completely obsolete in the detailing world anymore (almost).

Wasn't planning on using it at all. Just thought someone would recognize it as a very outdated machine.
