Re: DeWalt getting extremely hot
I don't have an issue with the weight of the machine. I love the machine.
Yes I'm using a huge extension cord, I don't know the gauge but it was over 70 bucks for a 25 foot cord because I bought the biggest gauge they had.
You can't touch the cast at the head, nor can you touch the screws on the side of the machine. The cord is cool, the extension cord is cool too.
I've heard of complaints about how hot the machine gets, but mine will be too hot to touch after just 2 or 3 complete sections.
I have removed the mesh and blown out everything, I do it after every detail and sometimes wait til the next day in case any still damp compound/polish found its way inside and has time to dry to be blown out.
I'm using it at speeds between 1000-1400 depending on the application. I don't think it should be so scorching hot??

Re: DeWalt getting extremely hot
Used it tonight after wet sanding a hood and had no heat issues.
Used a wool pad and was able to finish with my PC. Had no heat issues, used the same cord, outlet, etc. Don't know what the situation is now

What type of buffing work on your doing?
What are you buffing on?
This could be absolutely normal from my experience. Hang tight I'll share a picture and a story.
