Would this be considered a rotary, dual action, random orbital - polisher?

I think so. It is really heavy though and you'll have to buy new pads. The ones that come with it are junk.

This may seem harsh, but really, you must have no mechanical skills if you can't handle a rotary. The ADT failed after one car and the Makita was a dream. Can get into edges that the dual action can't and only had one minor burn through. Considering it probably saved me 10 hours of work, that sounds fair.And as the previous response indicated, DO NOT use this pad. The Meguairs is light-years better and contrary to my expectations, very durable. After 4 vehicles can see no wear.

No it is NOT! It strickly goes one direction, clockwise and has a varible speed switch as well as a lock on button. The random orbital-polisher does NOT spin in a true circle it is off set and for lack of a better term goes around and around in more of a off set circle and back and forth somewhat. Hard to use in tight areas becasue of this action in my opinon, as well as it does not have buffing capabilites, just polishing only! Hope this helps I've tried to explain the difference the best I know how. Good Luck, Bill

As long as you have a Makita (or similar) orbital buffer, it's a top shelf product. For hand or polisher, it's useless.This is used with a coarser (cutting) pad...the brick red Maguires.....this will remove light scratches and watermarks. You have to work the product at 1000rpm or better because it takes heat to work correctly. I follow this with a(maguires)light yellow pad and #205 Polish. On a black (or any strong colored car) I finish with a black pad (finishing or jeweling) and "Ultimate Polish". A nice synthetic wax finish will protect all your work. You won't believe the results.

I was able to use them on a six inch random orbital polisher. My polisher was variable speed and I purchased it from Harbor Freight. I am Not sure if it will work on a straight grinder and it might leave swirl marks depending. The pads themselves though were excellent excellent in achieving the desired result I needed on a concrete countertop. these are all so wet pads so you have to have water running across the surface in order to use them. That might also be a little tricky with a conventional grinder in that you might end up with a shock hazard

The description says, "Unique mixing head orbits around bowl as beater rotates in the opposite direction". That sounds planetary to me.

I have not used this product in such a manner but assume it would be effective if using the higher numbered polishing pads, followed by a buffing pad.

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 as easy as a random orbital. If you're new, I highly recommend it. It's not a rotary, which operates on a different principle. Keep that in mind.

It oscillates, spins slowly as it moves back & forth. Does not spin at the speed of an orbital polisher.

This product has no abrasives and does not remove water spots. You will need a proper random-orbital polisher and a glass-specific polish. I've done it and it's no fun but it is possible.

NO - Probably a little late for you. I bought the 73333 Dust collector for my existing 7346sp sander/polisher. The dust collector hood is too small for the 6" sander. The ring that clamps the hood down is too small for the round cylinder it has to mount to. Probably less than 1/16th" too small on the hood clamp, but then the outer diameter is also too small to surround the 6" pad. I would bet it works great on the 5" random orbital sanders.I did find another hood piece available on-line. I may just keep the smaller hood and pick up a second smaller sander. But this combination does not work. NO - Probably a little late for you. I bought the 73333 Dust collector for my existing 7346sp sander/polisher.

I have wet sanded with the model 6020 pad sander, but I have not wet sanded with a random orbital sander.

I have used it for sanding and for grout removal. It is an excellent tool for both of those uses. It is not a rotary tool though, it uses a reciprocating motion. If you are trying to make long cuts in concrete a right angle grinder with a diamond cutter would probably be a better choice.

The speed of rotation is not drived by the trigger like drill, the speed is drived by rotary switch so the polisher start slowly (not like grinder) and at the lowest speed it's around 600rpm

The Bosch does an excellent job detail sanding. It has true orbital action, although I found you still need to sand in the direction of the grain. It's a good quality tool, but the sandpaper that comes with it sucks.
