New Rotary Buffer

[wjfm1]

I have heard that there is a new brand rotary buffer (Not PC, DeWalt or Makita) out there that is suppose to vibrate less than the other brands above. Does anybody know where I can look this tool up opr the Brand name?

Thank you!

That's the one Rod Kraft had on Saturday? I saw it on Sunday. The name begins with a "D" is all I know. It's a very comfortable tool.

I heard about it on Saturday, but did not see it.

Hey Guys

The tool you are speaking of is mfg'd by Dynabrade. I have been polishing for 15 years and can say it is the best polisher I have used. It seems to be lighter and quieter than Dewalt, does not have the delayed speed control that Makita has, and is mfg. by a very respected mfg in the PBE business. Don't currently have the part number but will get it to you when I get the chance

It is sweet!!!:db:

Is this (http://www.dynabrade.com/cgi-bin/Industrial/51445?IpDqNTF8;;6) it.

[Jeff Brown]

No, that is a pneumatic polisher. I checked their website and surprisingly, they do not have it online. I promise to get you the info today.

I would be interested in this also. :xyxthumbs

It's important to always be open to new ideas, new products and new procedures, and this tool sounds interesting.

Just to hammer this down, are we talking about a dual action polisher, or a rotary buffer? From the description it sounds like a dual action polisher because rotary buffers don't really vibrate unless your pad isn't centered.

It is a rotary buffer. Not a random.

[wjfm1]

I have checked the website and googled it. Cannot find the electric polisher!

It is a Dynabrade.
I am a Dynabrade distributor and can order them for anyone interested.
E-mail or send me a PM for more info and the price.

just so I under stand what it is where talking about..does it work like the mikta that they're talking about here (http://autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54901&highlight=makita) ?

No, different machine. That Makita is a dual mode machine. Turn the switch one way it acts like the Porter Cable DA, turn the switch the other way and it's a forced rotation orbital. Great buffer though.

The Dynabrade machine we are talking about is a true roatary buffer.

As Mike stated rotary buffers typically aren't known to "vibrate" unless the pad isn't centered or is saturated on one side. I too would like a little clarification on this.

I used the tool on Sunday, it's a lightweight, very powerful, very quiet and very smooth rotary buffer. I think what is meant by "less vibration" is "more energy transferred to rotation, less to the hands".

I don't really have any experience to compare it to so I can't verify how it is in comparison, but I will say that the machine lets you feel very directly the pad's action on the paint. It has a very natural feel, it is well designed.

I would like to see a comparison between this machine and the metabo rotary. I think the metabo is in a league of it's own.

Is there a link where we can see the metabo? The Dynabrade rotary?

If you would like to see pics and a description of the metabo you can simply do a search on google and will be linked to several suppliers. (I didn't want to post any commercial links, sorry).

That's good enough, thanks!

Hi Guys,

Just catching up to everyone. The tool is a Dynabrade, Right angle-polisher. Model # 51610. For some reason I searched their web site but could not pull up any info on it. But I have the box directly in front of me. Like Jeff mentioned earlier I too have used various rotary buffers and this is becoming my favorite. It is much quieter than the Black & Decker/DeWalt and as for the "vibration" I would say it means "smoother" or less of a gear feel in the tool, thats my take on it. I have to give props where due...... when I did the NXT- ti training in California recently, it was Jeff and Jason that showed me the Dynabrade. From that very moment had to get one!! (thanks Mark)
If you are going to use a rotary.... be sure you are comforatble with the weight and feel of it!

I found the below information about the design of the air sanders, it's not unfathomable to assume they use some of the same technology to reduce vibrations in all their tools.

Less Vibration
Composite base has integrated rubber over-mold creating a no-slip feel as well as insulating from. Also, the air motor is suspended by vibration-absorbing rubber rings to minimize vibrations
