polisher

[bob]

hello chaps

i am looking for a cheap polisher with an M14 thread or an angle grinder with verialbe speed.

i need one because i am interested in making concrete worktops and furniture :^O (in the summer, saving)

i have found the diamond polishing pads http://www.abtec4abrasives.com/set-of-8-diamond-polishing-pads-75mm-3-diameter-1002-p.asp not bad for the price.

i was thinking of a cheap corded drill with a M14 adaptor (i have one)

I'd get a proper polisher rather than anything else, right tool for the job and all that. As for which one, there's loads. Some of the cheap ones can do a decent job but don;t always last that well as with anything cheap. www.detailingworld.co.uk is a forum I scout around on for mops and polishers etc...

if you do go with a drill/adapter, maybe get an angle drill?

Performance Power stuff is crap. I got my mum a cheap hammer drill. She's on her 3rd one. It has broken each time it is used.

Yep, swerve the grey Performance Power stuff. Some of the Pro stuff is a bit better, but still not great.

I'd probably be looking at

CYC are a reputable company, got some stuff to order from there myself. Silverline stuff used to be terrible, in recent years they've made some decent stuff, not a bad budget brand for the majority.
