3" electric rotary polisher recommendation

Flex pe8. Light, buffed 3 completes so far, only complaint is gears had hardly any grease. I packed it with wheel bearing grease cause i had some. Don't know if that's preferred grease.
 
Ok, so I tried a 3" random orbital sander with poor results. Flex pe8 is the only 3" rotary polisher I can find. I see they are about $225. Anybody know of any other 3" orbital electric polishers?
 
I kind of want to get that Milwaukee one, wish they made a Fuel version.

I usually just switch backing pads depending on what size I want. I use the 3 inch backing pad quite a bit on my full size buffer and it works pretty good, maybe that would be an option for you?

Ive got an adapter for a drill to get the right 5/8 stud. A drill kind of sucks as the speed can be kind of a guess, but it works great to get into tight spots. I use it with the same 3 inch backing pad, anything bigger gets a little sketchy.

Here are links to what I have.

They Milwaukee comes with a 3Ah battery. I found aftermarket 6Ah for dirt cheap for two.

It says RO which I take as dual action, but the feedback is conflicted between pure rotary which is what I want and dual action, so who knows.
 
thats a nice setup there shine! for as much as i do polishing i cant justify a rupes, even though they are pretty nice.
