There has been a bit of discussion about different polishing machines.
Brief Summary -
Rotary Polishers for professional use -
1) Festool Shinex - approx $700
2) Makita Rotary - approx $400
Fixed Rotation Orbitals - Professional or Hobby use
Aussie Flex - approx $650
Imported Flex - approx $480 delivered.
Da s 6 - approx $230 or $270-$300 in a kit including Pads and Menzerna polish. Extremely good value for the Hobbiest.
I got to thinking. These cheaper polishing machines must be made in China, so i went searching. After only a few minutes i found this unit on alibabaexpress.com (which is a great source of all things made in China if you buy in small quantities ) -

I will continue searching and if i can find nothing i consider better, may place the order and be the test mule.
