What Polisher Is The Best?

[TTE]

Im Now Searching For A Polisher For Christmas And Need Your Help In Deciding What To Buy.

Ive Checked Out Some Like Makita, Dewalt, Bosch, B&d.

[flakez]

pwede ba ung grinder na lang? ang dami naming grinder dito sa bahay e. iba't-ibang sizes. hehe.

iba pa ba ung polisher don? parang pareho lang kasi itsura.

salamat

iba yun.. masyadong malakas yun.. direct drive yan.

like a Rotary pero unlike a ROP na may oscillating action.

dehadista, im not really sure what type what is the difference between rotary and ROP? what would you recommend for novice users like me starting on this hobby? thanks bro.

for a noob, mas maganda mag-ROP muna. easier to learn and use.

examples are: DeWalt 443, Bosch GEX or yung Hybrid ng Makita... yun can use this for wax applications & removal, surface corrections... generally, mas mabilis ang pag-detail mo. the ROP (random orbital polisher) has a oscillating action so it can be safe to use sa paint.

medyo steep ang learning curve kasi sa Rotary. this has a direct drive kaya you're liable to induce defects (buffer burns / marks / holograms) if improperly handled but the results you'll get are great talaga. faster pa.

para sa Rotary, the Makita (9227c) is the way to go.

BTW, check out the detailing thread. lalo na sa mga first few pages.

oh almost forgot to mention: try to get the ones with variable speed. wag yung tulad ng B&D KP600
