Machine Buffing

[indy]

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum, but have always loved keeping stuff shiny (cars, trucks, boats, bikes...). I've always polished by hand until reading more here about the truely awesome results achievable with a powered polisher. I went out on my lunch hour a picked up a Porter Cable Model 7336SP combination sander/polisher. It is a random orbit polisher with variable speeds from 2600-6000 opm. Any thoughts or tips on the use of this unit other than what David has already meantioned above?

Thanks for your input.

Hi Indy.... and welcome to the forum. The polisher is the tool of choice for most on this forum. Very difficult to screw up and gets all but the worst finishes looking like new (or better). If you use the search feature of the forum, or get one of David's excellent writings on the subject, you will find more information than you would ever have time to read about techniques and tips for using the PC. Try these places out!

Good luck,

Jeff
