    I`ve used it once since I had it repaired after the second failure and it made it. It still has it`s uses but it`s not my prime polisher. I was turned away by it`s failure that once I went with the Rupes I won`t go back. The Rupes blows it out of the water. The MT300 is a good learning tool for my bro when he comes over to assist.

    Todd,

    Do you still reach for the legacy tools when you have the MKII available?

    Granted you work for Rupes, that is still a mighty fine assortment of tools. Rupes should bring a battery operated, full size, long throw DA to the market.

    Re: Which Rupes do you have?

    I have a list of machines...

    I recently picked up a 15 MKII (From Todd at Detail Fest 2016)
    I did a car the other day and preferred the MKI 21 with a 5" BP and the KB washer mod.
    I personally felt it performed better than the MKII - but hey that`s me.
    Maybe it`s what your used to.
