Looking for feedback/review on rotary polishers
Have you tried/worked using this rotary polisher?

Holy crap 8.2 Lbs
6Lbs is enough for me, and I'm not a small guy or anything. After 10 hours of continual polishing, those last couple pounds matter. Personally I use a Makita 9227c, works great, quietly, and is very reliable. Dunno if the one you're looking at would have the same features, even if it looks exactly the same. |

Makita 9927c here as well!
That looks like a Milwaukee but I am not sure

Not bad for the money, and as it is random orbit, you don't run the same risk of heating up your paint (damage/melt/etc.) That is, unless you are a pro with it, or very careful. It's also already in Canada, so no duty etc. |

I already own a Porter Cable 7424. The problem is it doesn't remove scratches as good as that of the rotary. That King Canada rotary polisher costs $99 compared to that of $260 Makita 9227.
I used a rotary polisher before although I am not a pro, I get around it. I don't polish that often (maybe once a year to remove scratches). Does 9 amp rotary polisher run better than that of 11 amp? Can I use rotary polisher to apply wax,glace, and/or sealant? Thank You Quote:

I have a Makita 9227C and I'm far from a pro, but I think you'd have to really be trying, or stupidly keep your rotary on one spot pressing down hard for a while to do what you are saying. I read all the negatives of noobs with rotaries and was concerned I could easily screw things up, but since I have a beater to practice on, I went ahead witht he Makita. Let me say, it was easy to learn and unless you are a real klutz, not as easy to screw up as it's being made out to be. And for real paint correction, which I need.....you'd have a very hard time correcting with a DA, even using the 4" pads. Rotatries do great on that. I also went ahead with a Megauiars DA to correct anything I leave behind with the rotary, but I haven't gotten around to using my DA yet. |
