Where can I buy a multi-disc floor sander/buffer?

[JesseBreen]

Hi all, I'm having some trouble in finding somewhere to buy a multi disc floor finish sander. Im after brands/models like Viking, Golia, Poly vac, Canterbury, Clarke 3ds or Ezi sand orbital or Lagler Trio.
Only thing is my budget is around 3 thousand which rules out quiet a few of these, but there must be one in that price range.
I'm in Tasmania so limited in choice (I'm happy to have it shipped from eastern states)
I have contacted a few sellers that I found but not getting very good/any service or response. Does anybody have any suggestions on where I can buy one of these sanders? Thanks muchly... Jesse

Jessebreen,

A little tip get a price from the factory as well. When I brought mine the local bloke wanted $1,400 which I nearly parted out with but something made me contact the factory and they at the time had them on special, delivered to Perth saw $1,000. To me the local bloke would have known about the specials.

Thanks... Which machine did you get? Is it any good?

I brought the SMF-TETRAD.

When I got it (a couple of years ago now) I was doing some forward planning for broad surfaced solid timber furniture (tables, buffets etc) that I want to make but haven't done yet. I gave it a test run when I first got it, to which I was happy and comfortable with its use and operation.
