4" grinder
« on: 10 May 2010, 20:05 »
Now don't shoot me, and forgive me if this makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up, but....

I have a 4" (100mm) angle grinder, is it possible to get polishing/mop heads/pads to fit this? If so...
A. would you recommend using this type of machine for polishing your car?
B. Where can I get the heads from? any links would help

Thanks in advance :smiley:

no no no!!!  these are definatly not suitable for polishing cars, they dont have variable speed.
it will burn through your paint/clearcote in seconds.
