Metabo GE 700 or GE 900 for portable polishing?
Posted by admin on August 11th, 2009 at 06:49am
It seems like the GE 900 is what I want in terms or torque, but the max speed is a bit slow for all my 4" wheels. Is 6000 rpm enough to cut and finish polish aluminum wheels with a 4" buff?
Would one of the high speed grinders work out better, assuming I can load them such that the wheel speed drops to what I need? Or would their lower torque output make them a worse choice than the beefy GE 900?
Or is the whole idea of using a variable speed electric die grinder barking up the wrong tree? I have a flex shaft that I run with my drill press motor, but the hand piece gets VERY hot after a few minutes. I bought it from Eastwood many years ago.
