DeWalt 443 Burned paint?

[brwill2005]

Cyclo gets the paint warm also. Anytime you have a machine rotating/orbiting that quickly, you are going to generate friction. Add that to paint that might be warm already, or the heat from the polishers electric motor. Maybe next the Cyclo will not be considered a polisher.

Thats not a car polisher.

You came up with this conclusion based on what?

A quick Google search reveals:

Exceptionally well engineered, the DW 443 Random Orbital Sander is designed primarily for use in automotive body shops for sanding / polishing body work.

With my PC, the surface gets fairly warm if not "hot" sometimes depending on speed, pressure and how slowly I move the buffer.

Wow, thanks for all the help! I really like the DW443, it doesn't vibrate much and its speed goes higher, heavier duty motor that doesn't bog. I love the PC, as well but since I dont have it any more for comparison, I will stick with the DW.

It's good to hear about something other than the PC. There are areas where the Cyclos don't work well, and as I'm not a big fan of my PCs I'm always interested in hearing about alternatives.

I didnt relize his paint just got hot I thought he said he actually burned it.

My pads have recently been melting to my backing plates. Went through 2 in 3 weeks. This kinda sucks. Maybe I should back off a little.

I just had to edit two posts in this thread, so try to keep things civil guys. Both posts were borderline personal attacks, and were completely unnecessary.

You cannot EASILY purchase the PC in Australia, so I got a DeWalt DW443. It's been the best detailing purchase I ever made. It works brilliantly. It does get warm to hot when in use, so it's not unusual or a problem... You can always spray a bit of water on the area if you are worried about burning the paint, but it will not happen.
