audio1der Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Be careful with that orbital! Hope you have some practice with a random orbital to know what er of correction you need for diffent problems. What pads are you using with it?

ktraughb Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I don't think dewalt makes an orbital. I thought they only made rotary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 just keep the RPM's below 3k! Stay away from the corners and never push on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Mike Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 just keep the RPM's below 3k! Stay away from the corners and never push on it! It sounds to me like you're terrified of the rotary buffers.. lol they aren't that dangerous if you keep your rpms at like 1800 and keep that thing moving quickly. I polished my car in like 30min with one of these and didn't break through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I polished my car in like 30min with one of these and didn't break through. terrified? No. I have seen people fuck up a paint job in a hurry because they didn't know how to use a buffer. They think it's the same as a random orbit polisher and it is NOT! So you buff it every time you wash it? You do know that the compounds are abrasive right?!
