    Flex PE-8 Vs. Rupes TA50 Vs. Rupes de-nibber ?

    Hey guys,

    curiosity regarding surgery polishing, which of these 3 machines would be interesting in ? or have you tried all of them and could tell me which would be a better machine to do polishing with 1 and/or 2 inch pad/backing plate ?

    I'm leaning toward the TA50, but curious to read what other's opinion about it !

    Cheers !

    Judging by the prices, I'll go for the PE-8, since you can have 1", 2" and 3" backing plates in the same machine and also you wont need an air compressor.

    I own the PE-8 and I love it. It helps me to polish tight or difficult places that can't be done with a 6" polisher. Also, I use them as a headlight restorer.

    This is the kit I bought:

    I only know(and own) the PE-8 and also love it. Also using it for headlight restorations. Small but very powerful.
