My next polisher question

DaveT435 said:
A little more information on exactly what you plan on doing with the machine would be helpful. I always love it when people jump I with recommendations without any info lol, and it quickly becomes a Flex vs Long throw thing. Not knocking anyone. Flex or long stroke is the obvious next step, and we all have a preference. If he plans on doing a lot of cars as fast as possible then Bob has a valid recommendation with a rotary. With that said...what are you going to be using the machine for? A couple cars a month, do you want to try and be able to knock out a couple cars in a weekend? Is this a hobby that you enjoy and find relaxing and just go at a leisurely pace or you just like the outcome and want to get through it as quickly as possible? A hobby that could turn into a second income or primary income?

As of right now it is a hobby that could turn into a second source of income.

I would suggest the Rupes 15 or the RUpes 21 with the 5 inch backing plate. Either or really, the reason is not actually based on what corrects better or finishes better. The Flex 3401 and the Rupes MKII series polishers are only just as good as each other but I would suggest the Rupes because it takes less of a toll on your body. I think either one is a great machine and you won't be making a mistake or wasting your money on them however when it comes down to it, the Flex will work your body so if you have any back or arm problems, the Flex will take a toll. The Rupes MKII, great powerful machine, corrects faster using a longer throw, whether 15mm or 21mm and is just smooth. You don't need to put any weight on the machine when you work unlike the PC since you just let the throw do the work for you.
