Tools / Product Cost Almost = Cost of Job

I was thinking this same thing but I made my money back in a week. So if you pick up another job you're set.

I understand the Flex is probably the superior machine, but you can get a DWP849X for $100 less and use that in the meantime, and wait for more rotary-required jobs to come in to invest in the better machine down the road. Granted, a second job of that nature would cover the costs regardless, but it is $100 in your pocket.

Even a properly polished and protected metal trailer will eventually succumb to oxidation. The difference on the second go around, it may be less work because the condition is improved upon its initial detail. The owner is also heavily involved in the horse scene an travels regularly to shows/competitions. The trailer actually stays at a friends home, whom is also involved and owns two trailers. Obviously, the biggest investment is the flex, but this would open up the opportunity to polish boats, rv's, etc.

You might not make any money, but, you are getting a "free" polisher. And it will last your whole career. It will surely get used again and make money on that one.

Although i second the dewalt or makita advice. My Dewalt is a quality product at a discount.

It's also a write off, so I'll make a bit of that back come tax season.
