Can this be used with an orbital polisher?

Yes. It can be used on an orbital sander. The best would be to use a medium density felt pad. A wool bonnet would work too. But it absorbs a lot of the material. It does take a little bit to figure out how to do it. I would not practice on an installed piece....

Yes it should work with any polish just use a top coat to seal and it will come off when the polish you chose does

I would never chance it. There are silver polishes that work like a charm. I only use this on my copper.

Yes it will. I use acetone base as my polish remover and it works very well. It looks and works exactly like what the salon's use. I am happy with this product.

Probably. It is a classic quarter sheet sander so inside corners would either need a specialized sander or the old sanding block and elbow grease. Note: it is NOT a classic circular motion orbital sander, its motion is more elliptical than circular. That being said, it still works fine. I've used it on a kitchen table and it did a great job. Note: non orbit sanders MUST be used across the grain while orbital (or elliptical) sanders work fine either way. I would suggest getting "non clogging" sandpaper since this has a vacuum bag and non clog works best with this sort of thing. Finally, remember to use a tack rag or a faintly moistened towel to remove ALL the wood dust before you stain or paint or glue. Cleanliness is a must.

This polisher comes with a 6 inch backing plate. A 6.5 inch buffing pad will work fine. Just make sure the backing plate is 1/2 inch smaller then the buffing pad otherwise you will destroy your pads.

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 don't know the exact model number of my porter cable orbital polisher but it fit mine fine. there is a tool that came with my polisher that is necessary to tighten the polisher to the pad because the gap between the polisher and pad is tight. it's like a really flat open end wrench.-Z

I can't confirm that as I used it with a gel overlay. I purchased it to limit polish chipping and it certainly works for that.

As long as the backplate doesn't contact the polisher it should be fine. Apply minor pressure to the edge to see if it would touch the polisher if not you should be good.

You should be able to go to Porter Cable parts and then enter orbital sander and model number. Hope you find it.

I am not sure about using this orbital sander for polishing a car.But after using it, I would say that I WILL NOT use it in my car.The reason is that this sander works providing vibration and abrasive disk rotation, it is designed to remove external hard surface of paint, varnish, lacquer, polyurethane, old wood surface, etc. It does not provide the polishing effect desire in a dedicated polishing machine.There are specific car polishing devices you can get.Again, I will not use it for a car paint polishing.Hope this helps.

It's orbital, but any sander will leave marks if the sanding isn't done properly. You should always start with a coarse grit to set the shape and remove the cut marks, then gradually go to finer and finer grits to remove the marks from the previous sanding process. Orbitals have an advantage because they leave FEWER and less deep marks than the old back and forth methods do, and do the job faster. I used this sander for the final sanding on the fiberglass and filler on my airplane (full size plane, not a model) as it provided a finer, faster finish than my old "back and forth" sander did. After painting, the surface is high gloss and mark free! You can see the plane at www.agelesswings.com/LONGEZ.HTM It's orbital, but any sander will leave marks if the sanding isn't done properly.

i dont own this tool but i have a lot of knowledge on polishing... and for sure i can tell you that any random orbit sander is also a polisher. you just need to get the correct accessorie for polishing. Must probably you will find an attachment for the tool and if you cant find it.. any way you can get polishing pads to attach to the velcro. In the past i owned a porter cable without the holes and i used for sanding with no problem.

Honestly, I wouldn't use it with anything other than the max speed recommended (which is still half the speed of my 12v corded DA polisher that goes up to 6400rpm's). I tried this product with a drill similar to yours, and while it does work, it just takes a LOT more time and effort to get results. It does work on light scuffs and swirls, but anything more takes an incredible amount more effort than it should.

of corse you can! it works with all nail polishes! it is works so amazingly!

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