Checklist For Polishing Machines

Fields Of Application
  • Polishing of metal alloys, plastics or wood
  • Removal of small to medium scratches
  • Cleaning of metal and stone surfaces
  • There are also many suppliers who bring out combinations of the two polishing machines.
Rotary Machine
  • In Germany: M14 mount
  • Polishing grains rotate in a circle
  • Plate fixed and therefore very fast rotation
  • High performance
  • Gets very hot during polishing
  • It is more suitable for professionals, because it is difficult to balance and also quickly can be driven holograms in the paint.
  • The faster, and therefore more powerful, the machine is, the better it must be kept under control. This can be very difficult for non-professionals, which is why an eccentric machine is recommended.
Eccentric Polisher
  • In Germany: M8 mount
  • Polishing grains rotate in elliptical circles
  • Plate not fixed
  • It develops its rotation from the torque and centrifugal forces of its orbital motion (rotational and orbital motion)
  • Especially good at hologram removal in the final step
  • Lower power
  • Lower temperature during polishing
  • They are beginner friendly and therefore better suited for home use
Size
  • The backing pad and Hüb sizes determine the polishing strength.Do not underestimate the strength of the different setups and rather use the small sizes first before you damage your material to be polished
  • Rotary polisher: backing pad available in sizes 30, 50, 75, 125 and 150 mm
  • Eccentric polisher: stroke sizes of 10, 12, 15 and 21mm
Drive
  • Electric machines are popular for private use
  • Air driven machines are used by professionals.

Current Offers Of Polishing Machines

You can find the best current offers on polishing machines in this list.

What types of polishing machines are there?

There are rotary machines and eccentric machines. They differ in the way they work, such as the rotary movement of the polishing stones. Which one is more suitable for you depends on your project

What are polishing machines used for?

Polishing machines are used not only to polish surfaces, but also to level them. They remove small to medium scratches from the object. This process is best known for scratches on car paint.

What is a polishing stroke?

An eccentric machine moves in an elliptical shape and is therefore not fixed in its position, but deflects sideways. The polishing stroke is the length of this deflection. As a rule, this is between 8 and 21mm. The greater the stroke, the greater the removal rate.

What do I need for polishing?

In addition to a good polishing machine, you also need a polishing agent. You also need a polishing sponge or a polishing pad. Sometimes polishing cotton is also preferred. The polish should not be too strong, otherwise you can drive holograms into the paint. Also keep in mind that the harder the polishing sponge, the higher the abrasive effect. So it is necessary to work carefully and concentrated with every polish.
