Rotary polishers

[RS200Lew]

For some reason, my other thread got deleted without telling me why so ill put it up again!! Thanks admin!!!

Ive had the sim 180 for around 6 months now and its getting a little on the heavy side for these long sessions. Been looking at the new compact rotary on cyc's site and it looks good. Anyone know of any other lightweight ones that have had a good review? Ive seen the cyc one on DW but the thread is unfinished. Cheers Lew

The Metabo is supposed to be superb Lew buddy. Well worth a read up. But looking into it more I think it is on back order everywhere :S

 

[Gally]

Iirc you were trying to sell your old rotary Lew? No?

I've decided to go for the CYC rotary, does everything I need and, it's lighter than a CP which impressed me and I love the size of it. Great price aswell.

My Milwaukee is giving up the ghost so I needed a new one anyway.

 

[JD]

You might be receiving a Silverline rotary soon Kev.

 

[Gally]

PMSL! I used a Silverline for a long time, big heavy machine.

I don't want you giving it up and leaving me with the Tobster.

 

[Cliotoby]

What?

Ive got the S1M180 and its a big b**ch.

I will be selling soon mate yes, but i cant put a thread on here as it will get deleted and im not a member yet. Ive had it for 6 months and its had about 25 hrs usage. Great machine, slightly lighter than a silverline but is a little on the heavy side for the long sessions so could do with a light compact one as ive got a dodgy wrist. Can you feel the weight difference then in the cyc one to say a silverline then mate?

Who said it wasnt? It would do me all day long if it wasnt for my wrist as i think personally that it is a good machine. I used the orange silverline previously for 4 years till it died and that was a heavier lump but still was a good machine and value for money.

Yeah mate but you also can't sell things in threads. Against the ruleeezzz!

I haven't got mine yet mate but there is a massive difference in size and weight! It'll feel like a feather compared with the Silverline. So for Vert panels it'll be immense!

My Millwaukee was kinda in the middle. Good machine but really fancy this cyc one.

 

[RS200Lew]

Nice one Kev. I mite phone Tim at cyc tomoz and see if he has used it yet which im guessing he might have. Other than that, i round huddersfield tomorrow so i mite call in and have a nosy, lol

Im sorry.

Its heavy. It works fine. I use it without problems although it gets a bit tiresome when youre working through side pannels.

They are buddy. Failing that, the Chicago?

 

[aucky]

Any thoughts on Dodo spin doctor? - 1.8kg

 

[JD]

I've not tried it. So no.

Poor.

They missed a trick with that machine. The new CYC one is what the dodo one should have been.

Who wants a machine that starts at 1000rpm?

 

[Ali]

One word! Makita!

 

[Gally]

Still a big machine Ali.

 

[JD]

One word! Makita!

Hai.

 

[Ali]

Still a big machine Ali.

And? I can appreciate with you weedy wee muscles you'd struggle!

 

[Gally]

It weighs more than me ffs! Where do you think Durbin got his forearms from!

Ploughing.....(His fields and misses!)

 

[Gally]

Power w**king iirc.

I might have to see if Kev will show me his when he has it

 

[JD]

Kev will show you anything mate.

 

[Gally]

I think he's talking about the other Kev.

Lots of people seem not to like it, but I've recently bought the 3M machine from I4D and absolutely love it. Nice and light, everything where you need it and very well made (based on a Rupes machine, which is very good!)

I also have a CP8210, but it's been playing up a lot lately and overheats easily

 

[JD]

I love Russ' fleeting posts

 

[Gally]

In and out like T5 on a Friday night.

The 3M was a little too light I thought.

Oh my new rotary came yesterday, i'll fire pics over tonight. I <3 it. It's a tidy wee machine!

 

[JD]

Ah good lad. Did I forget to reply to an email yesterday, or did you? I got busy so can't remember lol.

 

[RS200Lew]

Pics, pics, pics

 

[Gally]

Lols it's pretty tidy, i'll take some with my new camera.

The speed button is actually ideal where it is, I thought it would awkward.

 

[Cliotoby]

Can just imagine Gally with a big, manly rotary polisher in his hands, sweating under the halogen lights.

OH MY WORD what a treat that would be to see.

I can't remember either!

JD will scratch your eyes right out mate.

It's only a small polisher! Big heavy ones are only good sometimes.

 

[JD]

IIRC you were going to He-Male pics.

 

[Gally]

I was waiting for my new camera to come, iirc today or tomorrow. Give me something to practice on.

 

[Cliotoby]

Hai

 

[Gally]

Just ordered some...
