compressed air polisher

SVR · 10-02-05, 11:10

This guy from a company called chips away showed me his new three inch adjustable speed machine buffer the other day at work
It runs by attaching it to a compressor and he has these tiny farecla smart black foam polishing pads for it

I'd love to get one of those to machine buff my wheels and any other surfaces that my seven to eight inch pads can't reach or safely handle.

Do you guys know or have an equivalent type in the USA.
not sure of speeds but didn't sound very fast.

Do you know what brand...I use an Astro 2050 and a Chicago Pneumatic 7102.

A lot of detail shops I've seen use rotary polishers that are powered by the compressed air lines that hang from the ceiling. Well, I assume they use them for polishing... sanding primer seems more likely..

Sears Craftsman sells one's similar to those as well. They're very common place and any Tool supplier should carry them.

There are also bigger ones for 6"-8" pads

If you can it's the only way to go, you don't have to worry about the cords scratching anything or getting in the way.
