Will this work well as a polisher?

I have used the Rotex for bringing up the gloss and knocking down the orange peel from spraying on polyurethane and also on epoxy barcoat finishes. I used it in the rotary mode ending with 4000 grit paper and a bit of water or mineral spirits. I also used the hard felt and soft pads after the 4000 grit, but honestly they didn't seem to make much difference, the 4000 grit was the real ticket. I can't speak to other polishing scenarios, but the Rotex worked well in these cases.

I have not used it to polish it yet , but I intend to. It's suppose to be very good at it.

I have only used it for sanding but I think it would be good for polishing.

If the polisher has a 5/8" arbor with standard pitch threads. (it is the same as the 5/8" course threaded rod you can find at the hardware store.)

Answer here...I have found it to be trial and error. Almost all Metallic and one coat cream polishes work well. Try on a piece of paper first. This is the best way to be sure.

I wouldn't use it to apply polish and don't think it could very easily. It works great as a shiner between applications of polish that require rubbing it into the leather. Unless you ding or scrape your shoes, the buffer works well for daily use.

I had experience polishing silver bracelets and it did an excellent job. You just have to be careful not to use too much compound and to select appropriate tool speed. Otherwise, you may damage silver or gold coating (in case jewelery is coated).

It will work, but having used both, the 3M 05733 Perfect-It 8" Ultrafine Foam Polishing Pad works better. The 3M foam pad is easier on the finish, removes scratches, and cleans up easier.

It works best to apply polish, it will cake up if you use it with wax. It works fine to remove polish/wax.

I don't think it's powerful enough to actually polish rocks, but if you just need them cleaned, it would work fine.

Qualified yes ! you need tools to grind , sand , and then polish. Small pieces . The set of polishes are small !

I do not know if it will or not it is more of a polish that a remover. You could certainly try in a small area and see how successful you are and go from there. I have been successful in areas that I did not think it would work.

For best result you need diferents pads an apropiate chemical, remember low speed is for buff, dont use more that # 5 to polish

I don't know your answer, refer to the manual.My polisher is an old, old, Sears and I was just trying to find something for it.

I would not use it to polish a car. Even at the lower speed it is to aggressive for polishing.

Not recommend for this use. If you use water it really messes with the variable speed. Makita makes a nice electric polisher.

I am not sure, I am a jeweler and used thid for polishing wampum (quahog shells / hard clam shells) and it worked wonderfully for that purpose. Sorry, I am probably not much help.

I would say YES, but keep in mind that this polish works best while doing small areas (3 x 3) inches. I suggest using a soft cotton cloth (an old tee shirt) or something similar. For areas that are heavily tarnished, you may need 2 or more applications. This polish really does work well.

Yes it can, in fact I have purchased a polishing kit for it but haven't tried it. But I will say that it is an excellent sander especially with the new 4 amp battery and should do a reasonable job as a polisher.
