Rotary machine for under $250

[Garlic]

Hi guys,

 

Been hunting around for another reasonably priced rotary, found out that Tonita is selling the HITACHI SAT180 @ $235.

 

More info @ http://www.tonita.com.sg/index.cfm?GPID=130

 

In order to fit polishing pads, an additional M14 adapter is required at $14.

 

 

Only con is, this unit does not have variable speed control.

If you are thinking of getting a rotary, get one with a variable speed control .

[Hicksau]

agree with bro gen2 on this ..

 

its much better to have variable speed control except its hard to find one under budget here ..

[Maddriver]

I paid Makita at $280.. near to bukit timah market there

[Hicksau]

ehh..

 

which shop? which model?

[Titanium]

y dun get a 9.6v or 12v battery portable drill? Got variable speed control and cheaper leh...

 

If for bluffing, i dun think u need a powerful one, tio bo?

[Maddriver]

[Maddriver]

[Hicksau]

if battery portable drill , i got something from states for that ..

[Hicksau]

can borrow?

 

will be callin u next week weekends ..

[Maddriver]

sure.. just let me know..

[Titanium]

then portable drill can use?

 

i bot my B&D drill intending to use it when i do my waxing... 9.6v $50 only...

[Maddriver]

for applying wax not for removing defects

[Chucky2007]

i tried using portable drills.. bec its only 12V, not much buffing power.. + when u on for prolong period in 1 go, the batt heats up until quite hot. not ideal at all.

[Hicksau]

i have a extra power ball tool to be used with a portable drill ..

 

esp good for buffin waxes & polishes till thin .. not good on swirls and defects..

[Garlic]

Thats a very reasonable price!

[Sickscientist]

Wow... $235.... Thats cheap alrite...

 

(I tot it was rotary engine initially )

[Coltagious]

I got my Makita 9227 from Homely Hardware at $280 i think. Its at ubi
