[Ultra Al]

I need one fro when Im on the raod and dont have access to my shop or compressers. I see porter cable makes one and so does McGuirres can anybody give a reccomendation or tell me which ones to shy away from. Al

i used a porter cable for a while and hated it, it would slow down when you put a little load to it. Dewalt is the way to go, they make them for Back and decker who supplies them for snap on. i have had mine for 6 years now with no problems what so ever.

The makita 9227C is a good one too. Nice and balanced, gradual start motor keeps you from flinging compound all over the place too.

I've got one of those older B&D's and it's been good to me.I even used it once for stripping when my air buffer was down but that's some pretty good abuse.Worst thing that'll happen usually is the brushes go of course but the triggers will wear out too,those delay start Makitas are really bad about triggers.

I have a Hitatchi. Don't know what model, but it has two speeds and I have been using it for at least 10 + years w/o a problem........

Hitatchi...?? Not a good sign when they quit making buffers and started making cameras

Kinda what I thought, but I got it as a gift. And like I said, the thing is damn near bulletproof.

Weighs a ton, though.

Make sure you have a secure system for fixturing your parts before using an electric buffer on them. Nothing worse than slinging a fender with a buffer. In the cold weather, I've found it most beneficial to rub and buff everything out by hand. It takes longer, sometimes doesn't look as good, but you don't get as cold rubbing by hand as you do running the buffer. TC /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
