can you two stages of polishing, one in each barrel?

I find I get the best results by doing an 8 day pre-polish and an 8 day final polish followed by 3 days with soap powder. In whatever barrel you choose.

Not only can you, you should. Keeps the unit balanced, and keeps the drums from jumping the track and having the rubber wear off and get ruined.

Not to worry...any excess will come out the top causing no harm. The barrel will be filled. You could connect to a second barrel.

If you have the two-barrel model (the A-R2), I've had the same problem. I find it helpful to run it with both barrels in place, even if you're only actually using one barrel; I usually fill the barrel I'm not using to actually tumble rocks (the "empty" one) with enough water so that its weight is as close to the weight of the filled barrel (the one containing stones plus grit, or whatever you're tumbling) to help keep barrels from riding along the rails, jumping track, etc. Just a suggestion. And my tumbler came with a parts list for ordering all kinds of things, including replacement barrels--but therockshed.com is a good link.

Yes 2 barrels. .22 and .177. You can change them out with the supplied Allen wrench.

Sorry I dont have that problem, but I konw that with etching you can try polish with a buffer and repeat the process at least 2 times and if it doesnt work, you might need to call a pro. I use the polish to shine my floors with a buffer and it works great

Yes, M105 (compound) first, then M205 (polish), then apply a wax or sealant for protection.

The one I have has the option of how hard you press the trigger switch the faster it runs. We like these polishers / buffer very much. They are light weight and easy to use, the only problem we have had is wearing the brushes in the motor. Dewalt could and should improve the brushes in these. Not difficult to replace and not expensive.

I was not aware that there were different sizes, so I am going to say yes? The barrel is about the size of a standard curling iron if that helps.

I would recommend changing between stages. The pads will get contaminated with the other products. I would finish my surface with the lightest pad for the best finish and no swirl marks.

No it is not a dual action polisher. It is a variable speed polisher, used in my case primarily for compounding gel coat on our boat. It was referred to me by a gentle man on most of the sailing web sights, as his primary tool for compounding. He has tried others in his profession and swears by this one. I can say it makes short work of the process, you just have to pay attention to what you are doing!!!

Absolutely! Today I was polishing a car with both single stage black enamel and lacquer and it works exceedingly well. Even using a wool pad, you would be impressed at how nicely it finishes. As others state, you will need to follow with M205 or something to refine the marks left from compounding. In other words, it is not a one-step product. Worked *carefully* with a microfiber applicator or towel, it can be used by hand, but I would only recommend this in spot applications.

You can. But, the foam is very soft. The yellow pad is a little more firm. Which gives you more polishing power.

Yes, the tips are interchangeable with 1 gun. I've been using this system since it came out and was a beta tester for it. Although they call for tips to be changed fairly often, we had almost 500 uses out of each tip if you cleaned it properly after use. they now have 1.4 sealer tips and they are great. It's a great product and system.

Yes, you can. Shell consists of two parts that can be put on independently.

You can run an oily patch down the barrel or spray a CLP like Safari Charlie down the barrel. I ant back to my old method of cleaning because the Rem. squeegee system did not clean the bores as well as advertised.

you can, just keep in mind that this is not a flat lap grinder that will polish the entire surface at one time. It is a wheel and you will rotate your bottle around until you have all edges ground. It will not polish, just remove sharp edges.

Yes, fill with water for a couple of days first to let the barrel "swell" first. Very nice barrel.
