Milwaukee Rotary Polishers

I'm looking for feedback from anyone that has used the Milwaukee rotary. I have an opportunity to pick up a practically new machine for about $75. The model in question is #5460.

I have not seen them mentioned here before, and didn't find anything using the search. I know that Milwaukee makes some great tools, but just wondering if there is something about this machine that makes detailers shy away.

Thanks in advance.

The biggest knock against it that I've seen is
it's weight....it's a pretty stout , heavy machine.

Other than that , I've heard really good things about it.

As previously stated, it's the weight. These things are actually heavier than a DeWalt 849.

If weight is the only knock on this machine, then I think I'm gonna jump on this deal. I don't think I'll be using it very much anyway.

Thanks for the help.

for the price you can't go wrong
as long as it is in good working order

Did anyone mention the weight? It's like 10 pounds and you might need to be Hercules to deal with it on a side panel.

I sold mine years ago for 100 and it was three years old. The machine is built to last and for that price, I'd buy it.
