Metabo Anyone?

[ZoranC]

I don`t have either but I do have both the Makita 9227 and the Makita BO6040 dual mode machine. I don`t use the rotary as much because you can do a good amount of correction with the 6040 but IMO the rotary is irreplaceable. If you`re serious about this stuff I would have a rotary and a dual mode machine, skip the PC altogether.

I`m not as serious into it as some people here are but I am getting increasingly serious. It would be nice to have something "smoother" / "stronger" than PC (as people say Rotex is) but with Rotex being $400+ I don`t think I can afford to skip PC as much more inexpensive and safe start.



However, that doesn`t mean I can not contemplate possible future path and if rotary is irreplaceable then Rotex + Metabo would sound as great combo to me if Rotex`s "one size fits all" backing plate wise weren`t turning me off. So, I guess that means Metabo + PC for me.

I am looking into getting a new metabo or makita. I have an old black and decker that I have had since the mid 80`s. It has done over 5000 plus cars. Still works good but the wiring has been done too many times and it`s time is soon. I am looking into the metabo and what is everyones thoughts?
