    3 inch Polishers... Rupes vs. Porter Cable

    Has anyone that's used each in the 3 inch size compare them? I currently have the PC with a 3 inch backing plate and was considering an upgrade mainly because of vibration. Thanks!

    I have the DAS 6(PC24XP) with 3” bp and the Rupes Mini. In correction power and smoothness, the Mini is in a league if its own.

    Thank you! I love having the PC with the 3inch BP but it will make your arms go numb in no time! I think I will get that Rupes coming.

    Rupes mini or Adams swirl killer mini are both great 12mm 3in machines.

    spend a little more and get the GG6 and put the 3" plate on it. Better performance, lower vibration, better warranty and less $$ than the Rupes
