Top 10 Polishing Machines

A quick glance at the PATRIOT AG 180 polisher is enough to understand that the build quality and the materials used cannot be in doubt. The accuracy of fitting parts, smooth start-up and the absence of unnecessary noise during operation - the owners share such impressions in their reviews. Regardless of the intensity of the force with which the disc is pressed against the surface to be machined, the tool keeps the speed unchanged.

Some users note that the speed controller does not work quite correctly - the minimum speed is twice the 1000 rpm announced by the manufacturer. Given the fact that the intensity under load remains unchanged, polishing the car body should be done carefully so as not to overheat the varnish layer. When processing other parts made of metal or wood (plastic), this factor is not so significant and does not have a special effect on the quality of work. In addition, the auxiliary handle of the tool has the most comfortable and ergonomic design, so large amounts of work with the PATRIOT AG 180 is much easier to perform.

Polishing machine SPEC BMP-1200 due to its light weight and additional ring handle is very simple and easy to use. Designed for processing a wide variety of materials that differ in composition and density, this model is endowed with the ability to adjust the speed, in the available range from 800 to 4200 rpm. This angle grinder is powered by a 1250 W commutator motor, which, in addition, is equipped with a brake function.

To carry out polishing work with this tool, it is necessary to use a wheel or grinding felt discs with a diameter of 180 cm. In addition to the model, a fur nozzle is provided, which is great for the final stage of surface treatment. The advantages of the machine SPEC BMP-1200, users in their reviews include a long service life, ease of operation and quality of work performed. Among the shortcomings, the lack of a smooth start is noted, which is more preferable for manipulating abrasive substances.

ZUBR ZPM-240 belongs to the eccentric type of polishing machines that best imitate the manual processing process. Thanks to this nature of the impact, an ideal surface smoothness is ensured in a shorter period of time. A distinctive feature of this model is the large area of ​​the working circle, due to which the pressure on the surface is reduced. Comfortable handles and a fixed start button also have a positive effect on operator comfort during work.

The use of the ZUBR ZPM-240 grinder contributes to the economical consumption of polish. The special water-repellent treatment of the top layer of the plate does not allow it to be absorbed, and all the liquid is used for its intended purpose. The motor of this tool provides rotation at a speed of 3200 rpm, while it is protected from overheating by forced air circulation.Despite the absence of various additional functions, this machine does an excellent job with the tasks, which is also confirmed by the positive feedback from the owners, who also speak of the best value for money.

The size of the eccentric of this polisher is 21 mm, which allows you to effectively use the tool, both in the processing of the car body and during the preparation of large surfaces. Reinforced electrical isolation and built-in forced-cooling fan make the Huberth RP207171-21 the most efficient piece of equipment for continuous industrial grinding work.

The toe of the machine is rubberized and is very convenient for adjusting the degree of pressure on the polishing unit. The handle is also coated to reduce vibration. In their reviews, the owners express complete satisfaction with the performance of the device. The high reliability of components for the assembly of Huberth RP207171-21 and the quite justified price, which many users consider the fairest, are especially noted.

Despite the heaviest weight in the ranking (3.6 kg), the Status PA180M polisher has a number of advantages that allow the equipment to successfully compete with more expensive counterparts. The grinder perfectly keeps low speeds under various loads, which makes this tool in demand when processing engine body parts.The design feature allows you to operate the equipment in continuous mode - Status PA180M practically does not heat up.

In their reviews, the owners note the accuracy of rotation adjustment, high-quality assembly and satisfactory reliability of the unit. In addition, against the background of these characteristics, the price looks quite attractive both for professional craftsmen and for owners who choose a tool for individual use. The polishing machine is ready to start working right away, as the kit includes a set of abrasive papers of different grits and a polishing woolen nozzle for finishing.

One of the most reliable and unpretentious tools is perfect for various fronts of work - from car polishing to rough surface treatment (metal structures, wooden facade elements, door panels, etc.). The grinder has a well-thought-out body that makes it easy to change the motor brushes - with large volumes, the procedure is quite frequent.

The polishing unit perfectly copes with a large amount of work. With prolonged continuous grinding, it does not heat up and does not lose its main parameters at all, maintaining the stability of the rotation of the working disk even with very strong pressure. Convenient functionality at low speeds is also noted - in addition to adjustment, the intensity of work can be further reduced by controlling the force of pressing the trigger. Among the shortcomings, the lack of a dust collector and an ergonomic U-shaped handle is indicated, which makes it much easier to cope with the decent weight of the polishing machine. This is what the Makita SA7000C lacks most of all when working for a long time.

A feature of this grinder is its complete autonomy - thanks to the battery (purchased separately), the RYOBI R18B-0 tool is convenient to use, because the operator's movement is not limited by the length of the wire, and the owner can polish the car in any place convenient for this. As for the power of the cordless tool, the grinding disc develops up to 2.5 thousand revolutions - quite enough to perform surface treatment.

At the same time, the use of modern types of batteries (Li-ion) does not particularly make the model heavier, so in this case it is quite comfortable to drive for a long time. In the reviews of the owners, the quality of the orbital machine is also positively noted - thanks to the eccentric, the reciprocating movement of the polishing disc allows you to effectively perform fine processing of the paint layer, including on convex (concave) areas. True, the stroke of the eccentric in this grinder is not adjustable, so it is not possible to configure the RYOBI R18B-0 for a specific task. The presence of a cloth and wool disc for fine polishing in the kit was noted by some users as another advantage of the model.

Reliable polishing machine Interskol UPM-180/1300EM has a starting current limit.As a result, work starts without jerks, and the speed stabilization system allows you to maintain the intensity of rotation with a stronger pressure of the wheel on the surface. Sufficiently noticeable weight during prolonged work leads to rapid hand fatigue, but this is rather a feature of all polishing work.

Fastening the sheet (up to 180 mm in diameter) for surface treatment is carried out using Velcro - the fastest and most effective way. In the reviews of most of the owners, satisfaction is expressed with the performance of the tool and its cost, which looks more advantageous against the background of similar models from other brands. Also positively noted is the presence of speed control and high resistance to intensive use - you can work with an Interskol UPM-180/1300EM polishing machine for hours.

If you need to regularly perform polishing work on wood, metal, ceramics, etc., you should pay attention to the AEG PE 150 grinder model. Its convenient design with an additional handle that can be installed on either side of the body, depending on individual needs, significantly increases productivity and positively affects the quality of work performed. The presence of electric speed control allows you to choose the most effective mode for processing a particular material.

For the gearbox installed in the AEG PE 150 polishing machine, a special casing is provided, which provides reliable protection for the operator from accidental contact, and the tool itself from mechanical damage. The powerful motor of this equipment is equipped with built-in ventilation and emergency shutdown in case of abrasion of the nozzle, which makes it impossible for the grinder to overheat. In the reviews, users note the high build quality, compact design and better speed retention under any load.

A reliable and very convenient polishing tool compares favorably with its closest competitors in several positions at once. Soft start of the engine and overload protection ensure the high durability of the DeWALT DWP849X. The build quality and reliability of component parts allows the manufacturer to take on warranty obligations for the first 3 years. This is the best evidence and confirmation of the high performance of the tool.

The polishing machine also has an adjustable rotation speed and a speed stabilization system. The outer side of the disc attachment (maximum diameter 230 mm allowed, but a smaller work surface can be fitted if required) has a Velcro cover to hold the removable abrasive sheets. There are practically no negative points in the reviews of the owners, with the exception of the only aspect - the very high price.In fairness, it should be noted that although the DeWALT DWP849X is one of the most expensive grinders in this rating, its cost is fully justified by its high performance and long service life.
