This is the machine that I purchased, I purchased the Makita as well but I really enjoy using the Metabo. My hands/arms/body does not hurt or ache when I use it and I've used it for many hours straight, so far the most I've done is 11hrs straight polishing...oh with bathroom braks and feeding breaks :D

The only thing is that I'm not sure of your operating voltage.

Well here is some specs that I found, hope it helps.



  • Polishing for professional continuous operation
  • Extreme torque
  • Small and handy like a small angular grinder
  • Die cast aluminum gear housing
  • Thumbwheel for preselection of speed
  • Auto-stop carbon brushes
Specification:

Torque10 Nm
For supporting plate up to max.175 mm
Speeds at no load700 - 2.200 /min
Rated input power 1,200W
Output power 680W
Speed at rated load 2,200/min
Spindle thread M 14
Weight (excluding mains lead) 2,4 kg
Weight: 8.00 lbs

I would get the DWT Polisher OP-180, both have the same size spindle threads
so you could get the backing plate and pads for the 125 and have two differant
size pads...


Nica, voltage is 220v


:cheers: Chai Yo


 
I'd go with the one having the bigger power. Hope it's a good brand and if it is the machine will not choke and stop suddenly while polishing.

Best of luck/Daniel
 
The first one is kind of heavy at almost 9 lbs. Almost twice as much as a Metabo. If available Metabo or Hitachi would be my 1st choices.
 
If weight is not too important, Flex L-602 VR is right where it's at. 1500 Watt, won't let you down. Otherwise Milwaukee and AEG are good 1200W machines.
 
Thank you

Thank you for everyone. :applause:

Look like this not the best for me.
I have limit choice in my country. I decided to wait for UDM 220V that available in August and hope it's have more power closed to rotary machine.
