The Friction System

So at the last Goodguys show I went to I saw a guy named Ken Sakamoto demonstrating the powers of his Friction System sold through Sunchaser Tools. Basically a serrated disc that helps knock down high spots. I've been researching it for quite a while and it seems to have nothing but good reviews. So my question is, are the opinions skewed in favor of their tool? Or is it really all that great? Anyone had some time with this invention?

Anyway, Merry Christmas yall

Post The Friction System

You can find out quite a bit from a group called the Metalshaper's Association. Use a search engine and it will pop up. Several of the real masters in that group use the stainless steel disks for shrinking high spots. The discs do work .... you just have to be smart about their use though. A piece of round stainless spinning at 6000 rpm can be a little unnerving, as well as tough on any skin it contacts.
