looks good.. with out having to go back, did you end up going with an electric DA? I think im gonna go to HF today and pic one up

Shit, I haven't even bought one, or touched the body yet. I've made this project a lot more work than originally anticipated LOL.

I may just go the electric route so I don't have to buy a bigger compressor. Trying to keep cost down.

man, so the electric DA from harbor freight is listed as a "polisher" for $59.99 is this what i want? i passed on it the other day because im not sure it will work for what i need, and it seemed like the rpm's were kind of low

[BMCSean]

You can get a name brand for that price. I think my Bosch was 59.99.

from where? home depot?

[BMCSean]

Lowes, just looked it up, it is 69.99. I think I got it on sale or used my military discount. It has worked really well for me so far.

[Tremor14]

is this it?

pretty much what i am needing for these big panels.

[BMCSean]

Yes, that is the exact one. Emptying the filter more frequently keeps it from clogging. I waited too long the first time and it was pretty clogged up.


I also have a pneumatic if I need to strip something down faster but for general use the Bosch works great.
