Accumulator

I`d get the Rupes Mini. That and the Nano are about the only polishers on the market that I might add to my accumulation.
To MINI or not to MINI ?? Or should I Flex

I was thinking of ordering the EnS version of that; the only downside is you need a 220/240 volt connection. I have a step up/down converter so that I can run foreign machines like this. It`s a small investment around 70-90$ but honestly well worth it if you have more than one machine from outside the US.
I personally think it`s a great investment if you like foreign tools, the ergonomics are 10x better than what we have here stateside.
I have this incredible piece of kit and far stronger than my 12v Bosch + it`s a 2 in 1.

Ha! I hadn`t thought of that.
Nuggets like that are why I`m an internet forum junkie.
Thank you, sir.
Mary, I wouldn`t order a big thing like a polisher until closer to or after SEMA (November 1–4), just in case something new comes along.

Or older stuff maybe go on sale to make room for newer

Any rotary that soft-starts from 600 and goes to 3500, is totally smooth, does not "throw" itself into anything, can be easily modified with a simple spacer to allow it to work in really small places AND give you a great view of your work, is what I would get ...
But then, I still wear a Rotary Power Shirt..
Your PE8 is nice but it starts at 1300rpm.. I hardly ever need to use that high a speed... And that`s another reason why I never have any compound sling to clean up..
I have a PE14-2-150 purchased when they first came out.. Its a nice smaller machine for sure... It has a lot of gear noise that I didn`t particularly like hearing..
Since it IS so small and light, I hardly ever use it anyway..
I want a big heavy 10lb machine to help me put more appropriate-for-the-paintwork-pressure down to correct quickly and completely..
Good luck with your research !
