Bosch GEX 270AE

[Tehtarik69]

Machine polishing is great , but I have just burnt through another backing plate. When the heat builds up, that's when the polishing pads velcro backing also cuts through exposing the sponge . So fed up of the heat build up in GEX270 so seriously considering another D/A. Is the Ryobi any better? Need your opinions . Thanks in advance

If you are serious in machine polishing, I suggest getting the Rupes instead. It will solve your burnt problem and give even a better result but cost a 'few' bit more than the Ryobi .

I suppose an additional step down transformer will be required? Don't remember PC making 240V versions.

I myself have destroyed a few Meg's pad with the GEX 270AE. Its good enough for the occasional weekend warrior but thats about it.

[Maddriver]

ya,need a converter for it,that is the cons

[Odyssey02]

Wow. That is a very appealing package. I've already encountered melting problems on my Bosch. Backing plate is starting to melt with high pressure and speed.

[Maddriver]

u are the fourth person having the same problem..my melted as well i stop using it ..

[Odyssey02]

Any lobang for the Rupes machine?

[Maddriver]

have...but some of them after looking at the rupes price,they turn to PC..maybe the package is more attracting..

 

USG179 consist- one backing plate,6 pads,2 MF cloth and a washing detergent for the pads..

 

I think my friend is selling away his rupes,let me do a check

[Garlic]

Any good lobang for the rotary? I'm interested in a Rupes or Makita as well, second hand unit which I have is giving me some problems, I believe its due to wear and tear over the years.

Bosch makes a rotary machine too but I'm not sure if its avaliable in Singapore.

As you mentioned, you must be quite good after these years using it. I was doing a search on this topic and came across someone selling http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/Aftermarke...=ryobi;#1611258

Any opinions on this PE2200? Seems lighter than even the PC or most rotary. Also I see mention of Hitachi brand on sander/polisher. Any comments?

 

What I really need is one that is not too heavy and won't blow a big hole in my pocket.

Hi,

 

I spoke to hypercoat few weeks ago. The salesperson told me they are bringing in PC7424 with 240V in few months time for singapore use. I've not follow up since then. Perhaps can check with them before u guys decide ordering from Autogeek...I'm keen to get one as well

 

Cheers!
