My user are using these machine and bought LC 5" backing plate and other pads since he feel the 7" too big. Only complaint from him is started from 1000 rpm , so I told him spreading the product with machine off.
Can spreading the product by on/off on/off the trigger like gun shot.
Price is cheap, only RM320.

Would appreciate if anyone can compare Skil polisher with other China brand ones as price is 50% more.
So, must be either better built or less noisy.. as comment is lowest speed 1000rpm too fast.. any other pros/cons?
Believe like jackson with his China brand if I get this, will very unlikely get a Makita already for DIY..
so should buy or not.. as price is attractive cf Hitachi & Makita cheaper than Bosch even..

I think not many have China sets, therefore cannot compare. Best bet is bro. jackson with his Bohai.....

If add up the smaller backing plate, wouldn't the price shoot up to RM400+ already?
Also, 1,000rpm starting speed really is too high?

Buy a makita

1000rpm is not high. Especially on a china RB 1000rpm is crap as it'll bog down when you apply pressure.
For me china RB I'll use at almost max speed (2500-3000rpm) because it's really really not powerful compared to makita or hitachi @ speed 1700rpm.

and dont forget the noise!
China rb slow speed rpm1000 sounds like makita/hitachi rpm 2500 or even 3000!
It's easy when you know how...

Skil doesn't seems like a bad brand since some of our local bodyshop suppliers carry them, I don't think is quite the same than china brand. Anyway I nv try so nv know. My take is if is possible, try to avoid those unproven china brand. Afterall one of the distinct difference between a rotary and ROB/some DA is the constant force circular rotation upon pressure. If you get a rotary that will bot down with pressure, not good. If you are experience then probably different case since you know how to manipulate weaker machines.
