Anyone use a rotary polisher. Been checking out the Fein and Metabo units.
Anyone own a Fein or Metabo Rotary. Would love some feedback if you have had experiance with any of these beasts

They don't make a rotary ......as far as I know. Have a link to their polisher ?
its the rotex model, i think 150 rotex is the model. Polisher, sander combo around $400.00
I've got the Rotex 150. Great Unit but it doesn't have the *oomph* that a rotary would have
Are you looking for a big pro tool, or just something to do the car ? I have a Simoniz 10" polisher that cost about $25 and works just fine (my guess is that it was made by B&D).

Ah, IMHO, you can't beat a pneumatic ROS with a good set of abrasive wheels and disks. Is Granite City still around, they had all kinds of this sort of stuff. .
