Thanks Barry and LoiG37.
@LoiG37 - Well, for a $36.00 buffer that comes with a BP and starter pad and the wrench and a new set of brushes...I'm not sure it can be beat. I did use the same Chicago Tools rotary on an entire 1987 Mercedes Benz 300 SDL a while back and it knocked out the entire car with no problems.
I will say this though. I can bog down the motor with a little pressure, and you can smell the electronics getting warm sometimes, but it still does the job. I usually don't put it too much over 1500 rpms either and don't use a ton of pressure as I don't want to burn paint. I would have to say that, overall, I'm EXTREMELY happy with this rotary for the amount of money I paid for it and it's already paid for itself 10x over since I bought it.
AND my other point, I will DEFINITELY be purchasing a Makita in the very near future. That or a
Flex rotary, either one, but probably the Makita since Barry has pretty much convinced me that it's a top notch machine through his work. I will use the Chicago tools machine until I earn the money to buy a Makita.
