I have a PC and a Makita.

For beginner though the PC will do just fine. I have read though the UDM is a nice improvement over the PC. Once you pick your machine get some good pads like Lake Country for example.

If you want something cheap and effective, you can use this which is in stock at Walmart for $15. PC is pretty expensive unless your willing to spend hundred something bucks for one.
