New Festool Shinex Polisher is awesome!!! :)

Hi Guys,

Had the nice people down from Festool UK today and they left a few machines to play with for the week.



Very impressed so far with both rotary polishers that they left with me and a lot lighter than the Makita, and also has a variable speed trigger that I like a lot, nice to be able to slow down quickly if needed.

Check it out here for the brochure.

Also nice to see them doing pads, polishes, and sanding discs as well to complement the polishers.

Kind Regards

I would be interested in the small buffer. Have you given that one a whirl yet? Nice looking stuff.

 

Yes, the little guy right there!

 

`Yes, its soo nice, nice and light too, perfect for all the small bits, like a,b, and c posts, etc and door frames.

These machines are very well built indeed, I will be using it non-stop next week to see if can with stand some abuse!! lol.

 

Once you torture them, I will look into having one of the 80.02's sent over. Let me know if you decide to carry them.

 

cool beans. thanks for sharing.

Are the two you have pictured in this link?

 

One is, the rap 0, the small rotary, but the Shinex isn't in there as its just come out a few months ago.

 

I'm guessing I would need some kind of adapter for the plug.

 

They appear to be high quality. The little rotary looks to be most awesome. This might be my answer to the over heating Metabo that I've been wanting for so long now...Thanks for sharing...:thumb:

 

They look to be around USD $400 for the little guy.

 

they look high quality, sharp looking design of the products and even the boxes they come in!

 

sweet, more expensive toys.

Hey Paul, did you ever find out what torch that is you have? can I get a pic of it?

 

Hey Paul, this looks really cool thanks for posting. Keep us posted on how they perform.:thumb:

 

Is that polish they're selling as well?

 

Yeah, they seem to have a full line up.

 

wonder how this machine compares to Metabo rotary...

 

I'm anxious to see how the polish performs as well.

 

Hey MrPolished&Waxed, what the 170-180 lumens handheld torch? i got another one earlier, twice as big as the one you have all seen me use in Hong Kong.
