May not have made it without this wonderful polisher. This one did the job and we are still alive. It paid for itself. We purchased this Polisher to clean the oxidation off of our Motor home and apply a fresh coat of wax. It is about 40 ft long and didn't want to mess around with a less equiped machine.
I bought my Makita PV7001C Vertical Polisher about 3 years ago and have been extremely pleased with its performance, ease-of-use, and versatility. This method of grinding is significantly better than using a standard metal grinder and its inflexible stone type pad. But no matter where I looked at tools, I never saw one, by any manufacturer. The grinding pads are thick, epoxy resin reinfored, but are still flexible.
Very Nice.The PV7001C is also easy to wield around. The flexibility of the PV7001C's backing pad (rubber) along with an appropriate grit grinding pad is an unbeatable combination. All types of foam and wool pads are available for it. It's not overly heavy and is great for polishing or grinding in a bent over position, as in working the sides of an auto.I highly recommend this tool. The electronic control of the PV7001C means you can dial in the speed, and as you apply pressure, the RPM's stay constant. This isn't just a great polisher, it's also a grinder and sander.I had used a similar tool in the early 70's on a job between years of college and was determined I would some day get one for myself.
No gouges.The hook and loop backing pad is what is used for polishing. It is of exceptional quality and definitely worth the price. Then I stumbled onto the PV7001C.It can be used with a 7" grinding pad, not to be confused with a sanding pad. Great for grinding and smoothing metal, fiberglass-reinforced plastic, or wood.
