    I could write an 18 paragraph response to this, but I refuse

    You "really" want the best get a Fein. Be prepared to drop a grand though.

    b) Flex has a new rotary out. I think its around $500. Its very new and not alot of reviews of its preformance for me to recommend at this time, but it seems very nice

    c) Makita 9227c is tried and true. You can pickup one of these for around $250. This is what I use

    Dewalt makes a good unit to, but a little heavier then the Makita

    Good luck in your decision and Merry Christ X

    Look around for a used Makita, Other than sheer abuse they are tough to wear out. I found mine for $100.00 used.

    If not, shop around, sub $200.00 sale prices can usually be found


    Dont forget to get a Dynabrade attatchment for the Rotary, its like an orbital on steroids, awesome

    This is about all you need to know.

    I have Makita's 9227 and couldn't be more satisfied.

    Undeniably, Flex makes superb machines. I have Flex's 3401 DA polisher it works as well it's built.

    I have no complaints with either of them, not a one...........

    Re: Rotary Buffer

    I would love the new flex but I dont want to spend the 5 c-notes to get it.

    I have an old Milwaukee that is still going strong and runs like a champ.

    And I also have a Hitachi buffer that performs very well. It looks identical to the Makita. It runs nice but the Makita runs just a little smoother. All in all for the $140 I spent for it brand new I can live with a rougher startup.
