I can't help but get excited when a new polisher is introduced, whether it be a dual action or a rotary. It's always exciting, especially if you're a tool guy that has to have the latest and greatest version of each tool available.
DeWalt recently introduced the new and improved DWP849. The DWP849 (http://www.autogeek.net/dewalt-dwp849-polisher.html) is more powerful than its predecessor and also incorporates more user friendly features including the ability to start at a super low 600 RPM.
Features:
• Powerful, 12.0 Amp, all ball-bearing construction for long life
• Electronic control maintains specified speed under load delivering desired finish results
• Conveniently located variable speed dial lets user set maximum speed from 0-600/3500 rpm for different materials and applications
• Variable speed trigger allows user to control speed from 0 to dialed maximum setting
• Heat-treated, precision-cut steel gears for smooth operation
• External brush caps for easy servicing
• Large spindle lock button allows for easy and quick backing plate changes
DWP849 Includes:
• 2 position side handle
• rubber backing pad
Specifications:
Amps 12.0Amps
Max Watts Out 1250W
No Load Speed 0-600 / 0-3,500rpm
Spindle Thread 5/8"-11
Spindle Lock Yes
Tool Length 17.3"
Tool Weight 7.4lbs
Before the pallet was even unloaded, I grabbed one of these bad boys to get a look first hand. At first glimpse it appears to be built to last, but upon grabbing the machine, it feels like a tank. Not one aspect of the design of this polisher was overlooked. It all serves a purpose, and that purpose is to polish!

The polisher features a rugged heavy duty cord that wouldn't look out of place on a washing machine or refrigerator. This cord was designed to send maximum power to the heavy duty 12 amp motor.

The DeWalt DWP849 does not include a hook and loop type backing plate from the factory. The machine was designed to be used with either a 7.5" or 8.5" pad. Here is the backing plate that is included with the machine from the factory.

We recommend either a 6" or 7" Lake Country Rotary Backing Plate (http://www.autogeek.net/lc43175.html) to be used with the machine. The 6" backing plate is designed to work with a 7.5" pad and the 7" backing plate is designed to work with an 8.5" pad.

The DWP849 can also be used with 3M, Edge, and Optimum double sided pads. The 3M Quick Release Adapter (http://www.autogeek.net/3m-quick-release-adapter.html) is also compatible with the machine and makes changing pads quick and easy.
