Re: Cheap but decent polisher

let us know how it works.....j/w how many RPM's will that thing spin at?.... 20 bucks sounds like it might be a good starter buffer......I won't give up my makita though

just make sure to buy a cheap roll of 3/4" masking tape to cover those edges....that thing looks like it could bite

GEM INDUSTRIES invented the Orbital Polisher almost 50 years ago with one objective in mind...eliminate swirl marks caused by high speed rotary buffers. Unlike the high speeds, the Orbital "oscillates", or duplicates the motion of your hand as if you were hand waxing the surface of a car. The difference of course is that the Orbital creates 1700 oscillations per minute....but without heat or friction.

Gem offers two Orbitals: the 14 lb. model CHD, and the 16 lb. model BW-C. Both models come in heavy duty cast aluminum housings, with a shock resistant coating. Both models are available in either 110 or 220 volt, and come with a two year warranty on the motors. The motor on the 16 lb. model provides a little more torque. Gem Orbitals are the choice of professional detailers and built to run 8 hours a day, seven days a week.
