Orbital Polishers

[Rowen]

From reading the FAQ section, there is a great article posted by Mike with regards to the Dual Action / Orbital vs the Rotary.

Now since I'm unable to the G 100, , Im looking into the Orbital polishers, now if I understand this correctly, there main difference betwen the G-100 and the Oribital is the design, much lighter etc.

But the do exaclty the same thing..

Now since I've looking around there are 2 of the more popular brands available, thats the Dewalt 443 and the Bosch 120DEV

Now has anyone worked with this before? comments?

this is the Dewalt:

what are the other key factors that i should look at eg.

weight
variable speed
etc?

One of our forum members, Zey, had a DeWalt 443.

If you do a search on "DW443", this will turn up some of his posts, pictures of the machine, and his opinions of it.

The specs show that it has higher OPMs at lower dial settings than any of the Porter Cable machines. I've never used one.
