Harbor Freight DA Polisher - New

[DetailKitty]

Awesome to hear. I think I may buy this just to see how it holds up in relation to other da's out there. Does it take the same backing plates as the PC I would assume?

I am not sure... I bought a 5" Uber vented plate for it.

Yes.

Not to be rude but have you read this whole topic? This thing will give you more torque than a PC and ill bet you is made in the same factory. the pics show it compared to the HD 3D DA. Its the same. PC now has their stuff made outside the US, sooooo its up to you. I love mine.

Ok i read this thread and the thread at autopia. The problem with me is that once i manage to get something apart there is usually some epic battle to get it back together. is there a way to just put some grease in the hole where u put the allen wrench at? I am purchasing one tomorrow and would like to do this mod but im leary of the project as well. If there was a video of how to take it apart i know it would greatly help me out.... im more of a visual leaner.

@Lucky417- It was cake getting the backing plate off. No grease, magic dust or open-says me needed. Just use the wrench it comes with.

@beamerstrumpet - seems to work well. After using it and going to my Flex for the polishing portion of my detail, I noticed a big difference in temp. I don't have one of these on the Flex.

This is next on my list of things to get as I've read numerous posts about how well vented backing plates work at keeping the heat down.

I meant did you read THIS post? If you go to page 46 I have detailed pictures and Better instructions than the other thread. You don't need the allen wrench tool.
