Ah, I was thinking the sander was similar to the Porter Cable that many use and if that's not the case then it really might not be suitable (hard to say).
Note that the finer polishes used for jeweling/etc. don't really do much breaking down since the abrasives are so fine to begin with. I generally think that if a polish will work OK by hand then it will also work OK with almost any machine.
Anyhow, I guess my point is that the Flex sometimes has "too much power" (or really, a lot of a certain type of power) for final polishing. But that's sure splitting hairs and I don't want to get people looking for "problems (scare-quotes intentional!) that they don't really have.
