Sim180 or ep801?

[Junior Bear]

This week is rotary purchase week. Gonna go for it


I like the sound of the ep801
I like the sound of the sim180


Which one and why?

I have used a silverline, festool, and a 3m rotary


The 3m felt the best but they can't be bought for my budget of £100

EP. The Sim is the same machine near as damn it as the Silverline, i.e. f**king heavy.

You rang?

Still contemplating the silverline, I'll have money left over for more products then and a backing plate. Will I regret not getting the ep801?

 

[Gally]

Yeah.

The only problem I have with the EP801 is the ergonomics of the speed - on/off switch. You can't get better for the money though!

The silverline is f**king heavy and mine has burnt out. Piece of s**t.

That's the ep800 mate. 801 is the new one.

801 sounds really really good! Thanks Gally, I never knew they re-made it.

 

[Gally]

Yeah it was actually out in Europe when CYC went cheap ass and sold us the 800 even though the better machine was on the market. Never forgave that!

 

[JD]

Christ will you stop tempting me, Kev. I've got two straight days with the Silverline on Friday and Saturday!

 

[Gally]

I would have sent you the 3M down. Silverline might be slightly better for heavy correction on flat panel due to weight like the Makita.

 

[JD]

Yeah bonnet and roof are no worries. It's the flanks that really take their toll on my. Might give the R8 an Amigo/Glasuring (no polishing) to let me arms cool down lol. DA heaven!

 

[Junior Bear]

What about a spin doctor?!

Dunno what to get lol
