 Detailer This is the original Black and Decker Buffmaster. I bought mine in 1992 and it still works great. foam & wool pads To the person who has problems with , and refered to tie pads. Any major paint wholesaler can sell you a kit that will replace the pad with a velcro based plate to which you can place a foam or wood pad with a touch and all work great. DW849 works for me ! I bought this polisher to compound and wax a boat and I was extremely pleased with the results. The variable speed dial with a maximum RPM of 3000 was definitely the ticket on the parts of the boat that were suffering from severe oxidation. I found myself running at about 1800-2000 RPM's over most of the boat but having the extra power when needed was definitely a time saver. The only drawback I could mention is that this tool is not friendly about accepting generic polishing and cutting pads produced by "other" manufacturers. The Dewalt mounting bolt for the flex backplate leaves few options other than to use DeWalt pads unless you want to use the drawstring type, and I have been unable to find any drawstring pads worth purchasing.  Bad gearing,and more. I have had my polisher less than one year.I have had the spindle replaced twice do to abnormal gear sounds, and viberations.And just today the electronic module well R.I.P. I will say this at first i loved it and now i hate it.By Andy.K A long tine detailer. | |||||||||
