TORQ10FX Random Orbital

[builthatch]

Thanks Caleb for your inputs - but is that true Meg 110V2 is the same as PC7424XP; I thought the Megs has cruise control feature which is not exist on the PC7424XP. May be I'm wrong!!

if you were torn between the XP and g110v2, then the cruise control is a selling point...maybe, since the Meg's piece is also more expensive. i think the XP is SLIGHTLY more powerful and has a better warranty but Megs is a good company and would probably take care of you in a similar time frame if something happened.

but you already have the XP.

the output of the GG6 motor trumps both, by far, and imo that negates the cruise control aspect, not to mention the lifetime warranty from a reputable company like Griot's Garage.

for what it's worth, i have used a pre-XP PC and a Makita 9227 for the past several years and picked up a GG6 this week.

I think I've already said this once in this thread, but do we know that the G110 is going to be a continuing model, or whether it will be replaced by the G300?

I had a chance to check out this polisher last weekend and to see the internal wiring. I was given the option, but opted not to use it.


My $.02

• The digital switch is a joke and looks like it came off of a toy from the dollar store, no joke!
• It would drive me nuts having to turn the switch on and then hit the +/- every time to get to the speed I want. If it remembered the speed you last had it set on it wouldn't be so bad.
• The internal wiring looked like a 5yr old did it!
• The finish on the head looked like it was painted with a rattle can
• Backing plate was very soft and cheap

I'm sure it's a very capable tool, but I just can't get past the internal wiring and that switch...for less money I would just go with a GG6 or G110v2.

browsing through CL and saw this polisher with essentially the same exact digital speed switch of the torq10fx and all these copies (for less than a $100 new) look cheap and aren't very expensive at all. just goes to show you the mark-up cg's has on these...

I have this exact model , it's a backup for me, nothing special but one thing I like about it is it's light.
Something I hate about it is I have to hit the button 3-4 times to get it up to speed and the same to bring it back down.
No time for it.

Been using my torque for all my recent corrections and it's holding up well, gets the job done smooth and light with plenty of power!

Thats a rotary polisher. Not D/A. Its like comparing apples and oranges.

I know it's a rotary, I'm referring to the resemblance of the cheap looking switch in regards to rasky's comment which is similar to the polisher in question in this thread...

Will bump this old thread to ask you are you still using it? And if so how's it holding up?

I traded mine away, but I kind of miss it. Really good machine for light polishing, smooth and light
