can it be used with an Dual action polisher/Orbital?

Yes that would save you a lot of time. Make sure you get all 3 stages of mothers wax system.

Alejandro, I have never used the Mothers polish, only the pre wax and then the pure gold wax. I was always taught to apply the wax in one direction and after drying to remove the wax in the SAME direction to avoid swirl marks. This method works very well especially on the color black which shows swirls easily. As for the polisher, I never use one for fear of swirls and both my Harley and truck are black. I would never use any electrical polisher on black.

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

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.

No it can not and there would not be any sanding pads that size buffing/polishing only.

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.)

yes its orbital.... but if you want to polish with it, you would be better off with one that is not orbital...any pressure and it does virtually nothing...

This can only be used on an angle grinder, I have not seen a version of this in a flat pad for a random orbit sander.

I have used it to polish other items. A good tip would be to reduce the amount of air pressure because of the very high RPM's it can turn using 100 psi+. I use it to polish various metal items around 40 psi so as to reduce how fast it turns. Other wise you can actually cause buffing and polishing pads to fly apart. It's well made and has been working for over 2 years of seeing lots of work!

It's a great orbital sander but I have only used it on woodworking projects. I have no knowledge about whether a polishing disc is available. Sorry.

Easy part first: Yes, this model is a hook surface. Hard part: If your polisher has its anchor above the surface of the pad, i.e., you can see a screw holding it onto your spindle, then NO, it will not fit. This item is designed for orbital action that uses a "soft center", i.e., the cushioned material covers the entire pad surface. If this describes yours, it attaches underneath the dust skirt and requires a very thin-profile wrench (which should have come with your polisher.) Hope that helps. . .

You should go to the 3M site. While it doesn't specifically say orbital sander, it does mention grinding and sanding. They also have a question box so you can ask them directly. The link is http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-Safety-NA/Safety/Product-Catalog/~/Mold-and-Lead-Paint-Removal-Respirator?N=3294427651+3294529207+5927440&rt;=rud

Yes it is dual action. This refers to the stylist only. It has nothing to do with the compressor. Air comes out of the stylist when system is turned on(continuous airflow) but makeup only comes out when you pull back the lever.

Dual action means that the disc not only spins but moves up, down and side to side. This not only broadens the throw (area covered) but allows heat to escape, slimming chances of burning the paint. A rotary such as the makita is crucial. The hi-speed and heat this creates softens the paint allowing deeper scratches to come out but usually can leave micro surface swirls behind. This is where the orbital comes in to follow. Changing the pad softness and finishing polish (no dust) you now can polish to a mirror finish. Boh are in my pro arsenal. For an orbital I use the Flex or Rupes Big Foot

The best answer that I can give you is that most of the orbital sander/ polishers accept 9/32 threaded bolts. I have an AEG and a Porta Cable sander, and the pad fits. If your sander accepts a 9/32 bolt, then the pad should fit. I do not own any Mirka products, so I can not be more specific. I used a gauge to measure the threads on the pad to determine the bolt size, but if in doubt, call the manufacturer. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use a 5000 rpm die grinder for polishing, really think about what your asking?
1944837
Yes. That is what it is designed for. Use a soft cloth and rub small amount of paste onto metal polishing as you apply so there is not an excess of paste. polish again lightly with another clean soft cloth after you are finished.

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
