originalG Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 hello all wondering if an electric powered polisher is generall prefered over a pnneaumatic-air compressor powered like body shops use? could one be too fast/strong and possibly burn paint? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rkj4243 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Ray, body shops typically use "rotary" polishers or buffers rather than the "random orbital" or "dual action" action polishers. Rotary machines can damage / burn through paint where the others really aren't able to do so, unless misused or mishandled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LT1xL82 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Electric dual action are way more popular. Pneumatic tools can also require a BIG air compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Rupes makes some very nice DA and rotary air tools, and when speaking with folks from Rupes, they like them just at much as the electric versions.
