Catalogue price is over 300!! Although can be bought cheaper on the web.

I can get them for 168£ Without any discounts, with higher volumes we're looking at under the 150£ mark!

This is proper kit, used by the best of the best.

Why ..... the Kestrel SIM180 is identical to the Makita, I believe the weight is also the same.

Plus Paul Dalton no longer uses a Makita.

Realy? I was under the impression that the makita was lighter/smaller... I have however never used one though so just going off the DW fan boys. Would you not bother then?

Is a Rotary much better than a G220? Are the pads I'm using compatible with the Makita?

There better in the sense they cut correction time in half but you need to be alot more careful with rotory than the g220 - more room for error with the megs machine.

Your pads will work fine, but you will require different heads. rotory threads go into the head rarther than screw into the machine its-self.

If you're spending that kind of money get the Chicago or pay a bit more and get the Festool... Makita is no lighter or better than the Kestrel, as Matt says.

Russ, I've got a deal thought the tech guys at my work (ARCADION) sister company. Hence the reasoning.
