Harbor Freight DA Polisher - New

[Biatchzxz]

Hey this might be a stupid question.

So I just got my 5" astro pneumatic backing plate and put it on. Now it came with 3 plastic washers. Now I saw there was one in the original backing plate. And there 3 washers are different thickness. So I basically just used the same one as the original one just new that came whth the 5" plate I got. What's the purpose of these. And what's the difference using thinner or thicker washers. Figured I would ask.

I just ordered the polisher over the phone from harbor freight. i got the warranty for 9.98 for two years. Just giving a heads up...With the warranty and with a 25% off coupon it was 63 shipped to my door.

Nice that's what's up wish I would of dound the 25 before I bought it but whatever no big deal. So anyone know what the washers are



I get it. It's just a compression washer and spacer. Just don't know why my astro backing plate came in few different sizes thicknesses

HF currently has a Chicago DA polisher for 54.99.. its currently on sale until sept. 30th and its original price is $120.... from my past experience HF does sell a ton of garbage but they also sell a few hidden gems... i purchased this polisher and i have zero complaints... A lot of ppl say it will prob break extremely fast but in all honesty who cares its backed by a lifetime warranty

It was my understanding that hand tools have a lifetime warranty and their power tools have a 90 day warranty, that is why everyone is talking about the $9.98 or $35.00 cost for 2 years.

That's correct - I bought it for $54.99 and since I had a coupon, got a free set of Pittsburg screwdrivers. They aren't great, but I now have a dedicated set of screwdrivers for detailing, so I'm happy.

Anyway, hand tools have a lifetime warranty, and power tools have 90 days WITH RECEIPT. Now to find a decent backing plate and starter set of pads...

You got it! I will do that and I will let you guys know what they say or suggest. From what I hear you can use all 3.

I just used the one that was the same thickness as the original one that came with the machine. So figured should be an issue. Although I wonder which is better the orginal one that came or the new one. I don't know but I will get to the bottom of this and come back with some Info to clear this all up

Thanks guys
