You can get the same results with a cheap-ass polisher as an expensive one if you just use the right bonnets, compounds, and technique. Definitely worth the $30 I spent on it. Mine gets damn hot when running, though, and I wonder what the duty cycle really should be. Guess I'll just run it 'til I burn it up.

I've had wires buried in my skin from using a wire brush in my drill. Owwch! I don’t know if the lower rpm will completely save you.

That's no fun, and it's also a very good argument for wearing a full-face safety shield (like what dentists sometimes wear when drilling on teeth; I have one but I rarely use it because it fogs up fast unless I'm standing in moving air). Safety glasses don't protect against that sort of thing ;) I, too, have found rusted wire fragments in my clothing after the laundry. Oops.

He hasn't used a wire brush since he moved here. In March. So I assume it's been working its way through the laundry ever since. (And, his brush wasn't even attached to a power tool -- he was wire brushing radiators before painting. Perhaps too enthusiastically?) That said, this looks great.
