is this a dual action polisher

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!!!

No. It suggest that toothpaste be used. I purchased polisher separately. I think that toothpaste is gone and its less abrasive

There should be a manual in the box. While it is limited in information, it does provide helpful information such as which speed setting to use for different applications. It also indicates which color pad to use for polishing, waxing and finishing. I would contact Amazon or Griot's Garage direct.

speed can be controlled by trigger pull or by installing an air regulator at the end of the handle. great for polishing.

It is rotary, it will spin at various speeds for cutting, polishing and swirl removal. You don't want a dual action if you want the best results, dual action models are far to light and slow to be effective in the hands of a professional. Just be careful on ridges and corners or you will burn through fast. And watch the antennas and wipers, you will throw them across the shop in a heartbeat if you are not careful.

Sorry I do not know. I use it only as clear polish directly on my unpolished nails.

M105 and M205 was easier for me to work with. Plus it doesnt have all the fillers that the ultimate polish does. If you use the M105. You HAVE to follow it with the M205. You should only have to use the M105 ONCE on the car. Then wash it properly with the 2 bucket method so you don't put swirl markes back on the paint. If you use the M105 I recommend getting a dual action polisher its safe for beginners. I got mine from harbor freight. It works great just change the backing plate to a 5" and dont buy their pads I got mine from chemical guys.

Yes, this has a true dual action, but this does not free wheel like the smaller DA

Yes it works exactly like an orbital buffer/sander/polisher. I love mine and I have not had any problems with it. I use it on my motor cycles and it's the perfect size. I would consider a different option if it was a larger vehicle (SUV, Truck). It's important to keep in mind the drill RPM requirements... not less than 1200 and not greater than 3500. Most cordless drills do not fall in that range, so you will want a corded drill. The other thing to remember is that its speed that polishes, not pressure. Do not expect great results if you are pressing down hard with it.

The polisher has a counterbalance bearing hub with female 1/2" D thread. Backing plate has 1/2" stud.

I don't know, but it sounds like it is. Does anyone know how to use the polish remover? Since I didn't have the proper applicator pad I have to try and lift up the polish and reapply. Hoping for better results!!

Hi Kevin, there actually is a difference, an angle grinder has more torque and with a polishing pad would burn thru gelcoat or paint very easily, although you can get adapters to fit a pad on a grinder. also the polishers have a slow start so you don't sling wax or compound all over the place. hope this helps. BTW, stay away from the kawasaki polisher, as other reviewers have said the switch fails and it's true, by the time I got to the back of my boat the polisher had failed.

Neither this end screws into the polisher. Hook and loop refers to the method the pads stick together. aka velcro

I do not know. I purchased the tumbler for my great nephew. I do not know if he has tried to polish a stone. Sorry.

It does but getting the replacements is a big nightmare. The sander does not fit standard polishing pads at all. So if you want a fluffy buffer and maybe a sponge type pads you are out of luck with this sander. It only comes with ONE type made for just this sander alone. So there is no post/nut to attach a regulare pad too. The one it uses just slips on with a tie. It is dumb. I ended up buying Makita 9227CX3 7-Inch Hook and Loop Electronic Polisher-Sander with Polishing Kit. Love it.

It has a trigger switch like a gun and rotary dial to set the RPM, not sure about the RPM range, could find it on their site. I did my whole pickup with it and worked great. I've never done mechanical polishing before so I was afraid that I might burn the paint with non-orbital wheel. Probably takes a bit more time but results IMO is quite good.

You can apply by hand with a soft foam applicator or by machine with a dual action/orbital polisher with a soft foam finishing pad.
