New Makita buffer

[Brad J.]

I bought this new and never used it. Still in original box and packaging. It's about 8 months old and I ended up getting a flex and no longer need this.

Makita model 9227cx3
7" sander-polisher kit

Comes with variable polisher, 7" wool pad, another 7" fine wool pad, and a nylon bag


$180 shipped

have you used the flex yet ???

 

[Brad J.]

Yes, so far I've rubbed about 3/4 of a 59' Cadillac Limo with it and I like it. Only reason I bought it was the weight. Been doing this long enough I spoil myself when I can.

I don't like how hot it gets but if it lasts then it doesn't matter.

i think the heat is because it is still an 11.5 amp motor but in a smaller chassis .

i use the 3.5 , 6.5 and the 7.5 pads . hexlogic or lake country. depends on what special they are running.

this is the kit i bought . best bang for the buck.

the day the music died for me was when skydog died .

that's the smaller version of the pe14???? have you had any probs when compounding with it.

 

[shine]

the only difference is amps and weight. the pe14 is a lb heavier . both are 1400 watt i think .

 

[satarules]

do you think I could run the 3n superbuff double sided pads with it.i read they tend to run pretty hot when running larger pads which made me think they didn't have the power to run the bigger pads.
