Best rotary polisher?
I am looking to buy a new rotary after my Makita 9227 took a dump on me. I have a Flex DA (xc3401vrg) and, while it is nice, I need that rotary cut. I am looking at the Metabo (PE12-175) or a DeWalt? What do you guys use?

a rotary only spins. a dial action spins AND rotates in an orbit. a rotary spins faster than a dual action polisher.

I have a Makita 9227 and a Dewalt 849. Too bad your Makita took a dump. One thing I love about the Dewalt is that it is very easy to control the trigger and therefore the speed and the cut. I've had the Dewalt for over 5 years too. Never had a problem.
