Looking to get some sort of RO polisher. It is a seconde unit for me, so I want something lower priced. I was looking for a B&D Firestorm, but cannot find it anywhere online. any other suggestions? Links would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks,

Brett

The PC is basically a random orbit sander. I have several models ranging from B&D, Rigid, to Craftsman. I will say this, the higher end sanders all have less vibration. Black and Decker 's will rattle the fillings out of your teeth and leave a tingling sensation in your arm for hours after prolonged use.



Any random orbit sander that can take a 5/8" screw (I think that's what the PC has) will do. You'll have to judge ease of use vs price.



Isn't the firestorm around $70. I got the PC at lowes for $99. Not much of a difference in price. The pads and polish cost more than the unit itself...and you would still have to buy those no matter what brand polisher you buy.
