    Looking for a larger rotary extension.

    I have the Flex PE8, and I saw online these extensions:



    One is 3" and the other 6". The bad news is that these extensions are available only on ebay with an UK seller. I'm wondering if does anyone knows if these can be purchased in the US.

    A good local machine shop should be able to make them any way you want. All that is needed from you is the specifications of what you need.

    That longer extension will be a nightmare on a PE8.

    I don't even use my short extension with it anymore.

    Even at speeds 1-2, with a wool pad, it is difficult enough to utilize properly.

    I use my little HF pneumatic with 2" pads or PC with 3" Megs DAMF
    Beware of those giving suggestions without evidence of their results.

    This really odd center of gravity makes me feel uncomfortable, and comfort is one of the biggest factors into polishing paint.

    When your uncomfortable thats when mistakes happend
