Hi Everyone, Great Site..Newbie here..
Just a quick question...Is there any difference in the orbital polisher (Round) and the other polisher (long polisher with two handles) ?
Just wondering if there is a difference?

Post pics of what youre talking about. If you mean what I think you mean, one is a rotary which should be used by a trained professional and a random orbital which can be used by anyone with a brain.

Do you know why an orbital buffer should be used by a pro??
The orbital is the round handle and is the rotary the one that is shaped like an "L" ??

I still dont know what youre talking about. A ROTARY should be used only by a professional because it can severly burn paint if left on a certain spot for too long. Also, it needs to be parrallel at all times because the sides can heat on the paint very quickly.

While I`m not sure, I think you might be trying to compare the Sears, Wax-Master, Wen, type of Random Orbital Polisher to the Porter Cable type of unit. If that is the case, then yes, there is a difference. The general consensus of opinion is that there is no comparison. The PC is a tool, the others are toys. Not having used the PC, I can`t comment.
