best drill / orbital sander mounted polisher?

[BigbaRd]

i'm going down machinemart to get one but not too sure what i'm looking for. I need a polisher I can use with a compound to get the orange peel effect in the laquer (on the guitar I sprayed). Been told machinemart do exactly what I need but it ain't on their website. Needs to be drill or orbital sander mounted!

any of these any good:

don't think what I need is on their website, just need a picture so i can ask in their

compound polishing mop I think I need

It looks like a blue sponge.

You will need an adaptor to use it with a drill instead of a polisher.

Keep your drill speed low.

oh yeah, you'll need more than a compounding head to get rid of orange peel. Gently rub it out with P1500, or if its really bad start with coarser grade. For very bad peel you'll need to start at 800, then 1200 then 1500 and finish with compound.

nice one, is it called a "compound polishing mop" when I ask for it?

Can't find a picture of it anywhere on the website so I can match it up

[alistairk]

yeah, "polisher head" is about what I remember it saying on the box of the last ones I bought.

They're blue and in a transparent bag hanging on hook near where all the drill accessory and sander bits are in my local MM. Just next to the counter. Probably somewhere similar in yours.

they look like...



but blue

just make sure you have a lot of laquer on it if sanding/compounding down the orange peel- otherwise its so easy to remove all laquer and some topcoat with it! (and be very sparing on the edges)

premium looks good!! harder the better really I suppose. Their for proper polishing machines aint they? can't see an adapter I don't think on screfix for a drill

[alistairk]

blue (regular) works best on celly and 1K (with both G3 and G6) not tried one on 2K. I'd have thought Machine Mart do an adaptor, I've seen one somewhere....

M14 is angle grinder thread
