Re: Just picked up a DeWalt 849X rotary buffer...
Where does the extension come into play with a rotary?

Re: Just picked up a DeWalt 849X rotary buffer...
Get a spur with a rubber grip because the spur I have gets black gunk from the aluminum all over my hands. Oh, and pick up two extensions, they are cheap.
I sort of surprised, Mark, that you hadn't tried a rotary already. I think you'll love it. Just take your time and allow yourself to become comfortable with its use and you'll like it more and more.
I have a cheap-o Harbor Freight model. I wouldn't know how to act with an 849x or PE14, which I absolutely love.

I use it for putting 3"-4" backing plate/pads on my rotaries to do mirrors,around mirrors,A-Pillars,small/narrow sections of bumpers,and hard to reach places.
I found this on AG web store to give you an example Mark.
Team Flex PE14-2 150(Serial#0005)/3401/3403/XFE 7-15

Hey Bill, yeah, I've never really given rotary buffers a chance, but now is the time. I'm excited! Thanks for the tips.

Youll love it. I only use my 849x for metal/aluminum and use a Flex PE14 for paint, but I can say the DeWalt is a very well built machine. The Flex is just a little nicer to use but not necessarily $200 nicer. The DeWalt has more power and speed than the flex and the lint gaurds are nice.
X2 on a spur, plenty of backing plate sizes and extensions. I always have a small extension on mine. Just makes it nicer to use and makes it easier to get around some obstacle and makes it easier to see what you are doing.
Good luck with it.
