    This is the machine that I purchased, I purchased the Makita as well but I really enjoy using the Metabo. My hands/arms/body does not hurt or ache when I use it and I've used it for many hours straight, so far the most I've done is 11hrs straight polishing...oh with bathroom braks and feeding breaks

    The only thing is that I'm not sure of your operating voltage.

    Well here is some specs that I found, hope it helps.



    • Polishing for professional continuous operation
    • Extreme torque
    • Small and handy like a small angular grinder
    • Die cast aluminum gear housing
    • Thumbwheel for preselection of speed
    • Auto-stop carbon brushes
    Specification:

    Torque10 Nm
    For supporting plate up to max.175 mm
    Speeds at no load700 - 2.200 /min
    Rated input power 1,200W
    Output power 680W
    Speed at rated load 2,200/min
    Spindle thread M 14
    Weight (excluding mains lead) 2,4 kg
    Weight: 8.00 lbs

    I would get the DWT Polisher OP-180, both have the same size spindle threads
    so you could get the backing plate and pads for the 125 and have two differant
    size pads...


    Nica, voltage is 220v

    I'd go with the one having the bigger power. Hope it's a good brand and if it is the machine will not choke and stop suddenly while polishing.

    Best of luck/Daniel

    The first one is kind of heavy at almost 9 lbs. Almost twice as much as a Metabo. If available Metabo or Hitachi would be my 1st choices.

    If weight is not too important, Flex L-602 VR is right where it's at. 1500 Watt, won't let you down. Otherwise Milwaukee and AEG are good 1200W machines.

    Thank you for everyone.

    Look like this not the best for me.
    I have limit choice in my country. I decided to wait for UDM 220V that available in August and hope it's have more power closed to rotary machine.
