This American-made polisher is a longtime bestseller. While it takes some skill to use because you need to apply pressure with the weight of the machine as you polish, once you are accustomed to it, it will become an essential part of your toolset. Three types are available: the fixed speed
5455, the continuously variable speed
5460-6, and the
5540, which has an even wider speed range. As sold by the manufacturer, the gears in the head of the polisher tend to wear out quickly. For this reason, we grease these polishers with our own special grease, reducing the friction coefficient for greatly improved durability.
This polisher is based on the
5455 model, but features continuously variable speed adjustment, allowing it to be used for a wide range of polishing. It uses a detachable power cord, improving maintainability.
