    David,



    I`m sure it was this thread. However, I did edit it a few times and I must have made a mistake when reposting. Thanks for letting me know and my apologies to Hollie-Marie.



    My original post was in response to Hollie Marie`s post criticizing DK`s post. Basically, I just wanted to make the point that DK didn`t just suddenly toss in the subject of Zaino. People prior to his post were talking about the shine of Zaino, so it would seem natural to post a picture of a Zaino`d car.



    That`s all.

    Intermezzo...I dont know if you accidentally deleted your post or if someone else did, but you weren`t going crazy. I read your post before it disappeared.



    And DK, I think you want to say you are trying to be OBJECTIVE, not SUBJECTIVE

    Cool Milwaukee Buffer

    Does anyone here have any experience with Milwaukee`s 11 amp buffer? It looks to be roughly equivelent to the Dewalt. I saw one marked @ $199 at OSH and the regular sales discounts should knock a little more off that. I`m leaning toward a Makita right now but seek opinions from the experts here. Weight is not an issue, ( I learned on a Sioux) but would like to know is the speed control user-friendly, etc... Thanks in advance.

    HA, I learned on a Sioux as well. That thing must have weighed 650 lbs. I went to a Black and Decker and thought that was a toy by comparison.

    I can`t offer much Milwaukee comments as I`ve never owned one and haven`t used on in years. I have owned/currently own DeWalt, Hitachi, Porter Cable, and Metabo, and have used a Makita. If I were buying a new rotary today, it would probably be a Makita. It does everything well.

    I used a Milwaukee years ago and all that I remember was how heavy it was but you did say weight was not an issue.
    I guess that is you want to work out more and detail more in 2010 you can kill 2 birds with one stone type of thing.

    Used a Milwaukee in the 80"s............ still have it storage somewhere and it had to be close to twenty pounds if not more. The Makita is a better direction to go in imho.

    I love the Milwaukee. makita sits too high and you will tilt the pad....just my opinion...yeah and I learned on a Sioux too! Been running Milwaukee since the 70`s. I use it for cutting & cleaning. Then I use a Dewalt for polishing....just always used 2 machines. learned on fixed rpms none of that fancy variable speed stuff!

    My milwaukee is prob 20(It did have a period of about 10 years rest though) years old now and still performs perfectly . No varible speed selector , just trigger . I dont know about the newer ones but this rotary machine of mine has been very reliable . I did have to replace the cord and thats it .Weighs 10 pounds Weightlifter

    I hope it never dies!
