Hi guys, I'm new and am learning. So if this is a really dumb question please don't flame me too bad.

I was looking at the PC in the autopia store and it looks similar to this grinder made by dewalt.

Can this grinder be used as a PC for speeding up waxing and polishing??

And if yes then of course I know I need to take the chop saw blade and guard off before I use it before someone calls me a retard.

They are simmilar in shape but not in what they do to get the work done. A grinder like this just spins around. A PC is a forced rotation random orbit sander. It does spins round and round but it also ossilates sp? side to side in an unfixed pattern.
 
It's different. The grinder is more similar to a rotary than a PC. And a grinder has only 1 speed, which is too fast for polishing. Dewalt makes a proper rotary instead..



Get the PC, it's 1/3 the price of the Dewalt anyway.

If you use a grinder with a buffing pad you might go through the paint in like 2 sec or something. Grinders spin at somewhere like 10000 RPMS
