Fixin to pull the trigger on this one......any comments guys...?

I have 8 drills, sanders, routers, da's, and nibblers, and sawzalls and portabands and portable saws, hammerdrills........so I am pretty loyal to Milwalkee.
They are built like tanks and just plain hold up.

I just noticed I never saw you guys mention them.....I am gonna buy one of these for my rotary polisher.

you can't beat Milwalkee they are some of the best in the industry...wish I had the bucks for them.

I didn't see if this was a variable speed...or how many settings it has and what are those speeds...says its good for CC
 
it's a real nice machine ... a little heavier than some of its competitors but if you can handle it, it's really smooth :D
 
Excellent product, I have used a Milwalkee before, but beware they are much heavier then most rotaries...you get tired quickly.
 
For a beginer, it's an awesome tool -- being heavy, it's kinda hard not keep it flat.

When I was learning, this was the step-up model from the Sioux (an old silver clunker with a togle on/off switch fixed 1750rpm). After awhile, I was allowed to use the variable speed Makita, then, after gaining even more hands on experience, they put me on the Black & Decker (now known as the Dewalt) and, well, the rest is history.

What I like about it -- it's a very solid, reliable, machine.

What I don't -- it's heavy, torquey, kinda bulky, & if I remember right, it doesn't have a feather speed trigger (it's either on or off -- at the adjusted speed)

hope this helps
 
I've seen the Milwaukee's before and they are definitely solid machines. Like others said it is very heavy about a half pound heavier than the Dewalt. I think it weighs almost 9 pounds. It would be a really good machine in terms of leveling paint because of it's weight.
