Agreed Makita is the best. But it is the heaviest IMO.
Has any boat detailers run the FLEX or RUPES rotary buffers?
Consider the possible fatigue reduction being 3 or 4 lbs lighter (especially over a long career).
Additionally, I run single sided wool pad. Centripetal force Weight reduction.
The Makita is probably slightly heavier, that’s why I always liked the Dewalt in the past. We have run the Rupes rotary, it’s light as a feather but the torque is not all there. Heard they don’t last very long for marine detailing but it’s quite a cool machine
@@curtisholick3135 I use the Makita daily in my business and have tried the Rupes, I found the Rupes very easy to stall under medium/heavy pressure
I prefer the Makita myself, mainly because of the better torque. I can make the Dewalt stall when heavy cutting whereas I've never been able to stall the Makita. Even though all 3 of my Makitas have died at the 3-5 month mark, there's a warranty repair centre not far from me and the service is good. I don't think I could use any other brand.
@@HeavyDutyDetailing Great perspective! All of them died at 3-5 months… did they tell you what the problem was at the service center?
@@topdockpro They had a few ideas but nothing that could be said for certain. The first time, they said it was likely that I was using too small of a gauge of extension cord, starving the motor of power causing it to work too hard and overheat. So I bought a $400 10 gauge cord and a second machine and still had the same problem. Then they suggested it could be a supply issue (the wiring going to the outlet not being sufficient), or that I’m simply putting too much pressure on the machine. I think the problem was exasperated by heavy cutting on the lowest machine speed, which means the cooling fan is running at the least efficient speed. Of course, using Starke Level R there’s really no way around that. For context, I’m also 6’4 200 lbs and pretty athletic so I think my idea of medium pressure would be hard pressure to an average person (so my hard pressure is extra hard). It’s probably some combination of all these factors, and I’m still experimenting to see if I can fix the issue
@@HeavyDutyDetailinghave you tried replacing the carbon brushes or at least checked them out? That’s always what happens to me after a few months so I just pop new ones in
@@holdenbaldassi3697 I did inspect the brushes, they looked fine and had lots of material left. One of the times at the service centre they gave me a whole new unit because there was so much damage that nothing was salvageable. So I think it’s a heat problem. When your brushes went out, did the rpms flutter and did it start arcing near the exhaust ports? Those are the symptoms on mine
