    Re: Makita PC5000C

    Our only hope for a true dual mode polisher is Metebo..which isn't happening.but hey...they're excited to give us a rotary soon...

    Or Chinese reverse engineering Makita and a Metabo sxe450 and mate the two.

    Not likely

    Makita don't take user idea submissions..
    I'm like well steal my idea and clain it as yours haha

    Maxshine would do it.. but min of 60k plus a requirement to order 5000 pieces every year...

In free spin mode the 5000C can be used to spread a wax or sealant but to use it in that mode for correction is an exercise in futility. In gear driven mode it is a very solid polished with tons of power. Makita should either make it more effective in free spin mode or stop advertising it as such.
