True, true. OTOH, at least now you know how often you would use a buffer,
so you can better justify buying a good one next time. The HF polisher I
bought last year hasn't been out of the box yet ...
Then too, if it's a cheap tool I don't feel bad about abusing it. I fully
expected to burn up the $20 4" grinder I got at HF, but it just keeps on
making that g*dawful noise and doing it's job. When I wanted an extra
tapped hole in the spindle (for mounting Ro-loc sanding discs), I just cut
one, knowing it was just a cheap tool. If it had been a $150 Milwaukee, I
wouldn't have the extra hole ! Probably would've been a lot harder to drill
& tap too, I'll bet the Milwaukee has a harder spindle.
