Fine Grinding, High Gloss Polishing of Painted Automotive Surfaces

The Automotive Polisher (PE15-20) from Metabo Corporation (West Chester, PA) is a professional-grade tool specially developed for polishing the surface of a vehicle. “This polisher is designed with maximum comfort and control in mind and operates with minimal noise. These features help improve users’ work, especially for those that work closely with this tool over long periods of time,” said Terry Tuerk, a senior product manager at Metabo. Its 13 amp high torque motor provides 300 rpm to 1,900 rpm that can quickly and efficiently produce professional results. Its planetary gears not only enable the polisher to be high torque, but also dramatically reduce the operating noise level below that required for ear protection. Located on the polisher itself is an rpm dial reference chart so the operator can easily choose the tools speed setting for targeted applications like fine grinding and high gloss polishing of painted surfaces. Tool speed can be changed effortlessly by using the conveniently-located thumb dial.

The polisher also has VTC (Vario-tacho-constamatic) Full-wave Electronicsor, otherwise known as “cruise-control” that allows the tool to maintain a consistent speed under load. The machine is equipped with a rubberized front grip for optimum tool guidance and includes restart protection that prevents the tool from restarting on its own in the event of a power interruption. The polisher also includes electronic overload protection that keeps the motor from overheating, and soft start for smooth power up and a rat-tail grip with a lock-on switch to reduce user fatigue.
