    I think somewhere along the line, I have aquired a polisher fetish.

    Just happened to be in the right place at the right time on EBay with a "Buy It Now" listing.

    Just the polisher Nica. But at the price I bought it, I can always get another backing plate.

    BTW, whatever became of the Hitachi from the STL GTG? I remember trying to give it a whirl and it started acting up.

    I still have Hitachi #1. I have to get it in for some warranty work.

    I jumped on this one as quickly as i could.

    BTW: I registered it on the Metabo XXL site whichs gives me a 3 year warranty.

    whats the diff between makita, metabo, etc. Whats the best?

    I have had many rotaries over the past years. All have good and bad points. NONE are "perfect".
    My best advice if that if you haven't used a rotary before, try a few out before you buy one. A lot of rotary polising has to do with how the machine feels to you. To answer your question directly, the best is what you feel comfortable with, not the price of the machine.

    Thank you and good find. I have a older makita but i prefer to use a pc. Im thinking i am going to jump to a air polisher.
