Re: Rotary guys, what RPM do you use when removing heavy swirls?
I normally try to stay between 1535 and 1547....... then use about 10 lbs of pressure first pass, then each pass I lower the lbs of pressure about 1.5 lbs a pass. Hope this helps :dblthumb2: lol!
I bet this gets picked apart lol
Re: Rotary guys, what RPM do you use when removing heavy swirls?
That really depends on the product, and pad I'm using. Most common being MG105...I usually go anywhere from 1000-1300. I'm usually on the lower end. But I usually just go with what I'm feeling at the moment. :xyxthumbs:

This was a joke by the way..... It depends on industry and opinion on each and every vehicle. I can go 2500 and slower on buses cause the paint is extremely thick..... on cars it is a judgment call but normally stays between 1000 and 1700 - depending on what my internal Paint gage says lol

I also have an internal paint gauge, ha. I actually do have a paint gauge. But it's just one of those cheap magnet pen types. It does give me an idea of what I'm working with though. Does the trick. Although, I never use it, ha.

You know how Wolverine got those metal bones..... well I thought I was getting those when I went into surgery but instead got an internal paint thickness gage installed..... it has been very useful though :dblthumb2:

On a Makita, I haven't had the need to go above speed 3, which is 1500rpm
