    could this be a good cheap alternative to a ball spinner?

    well not very sure if it would be as good but a ball spinner would probably be better because with a ball spinner you can see what your are doing and also youa re doing it with your hand so you control the presser with a drill in your hand its harder to now how much presser you are using.

    Looks interesting, i don't think it would be all that hard to build a spinner off the same concept, buy the ball spinner cup then connect to a mounted variable speed drill and walla!

    Might be worth a try. The $10.95 for shipping seems ridiculous.

    This is interesting. I've often wondered if there was something like this out there. Anybody ever used one?

    I just do not think it is worth what it costs somewhere around
    $50.00 - $60.00 for the complete kit plus the cost of buying a
    variable speed drill and you have close to what a ball spinner is
    going to cost to start with. You can just add another $60.00 or
    so dollars and get a real ball spinner.

    I actually have one, as well as a ball spinner. It doesn't give you an even sanding process as ball spinner would. Holding the pad by hand gives you a better feel, as well as allowing a constant pressure against the ball.
