- Evan takes the time to break down the differences in the grinders and hopefully helps you down the road of your choice. goshineon.com/shop is the place to go for all of your polishing or detailing needs.
Details as follows on where to buy the grinders mentioned above.
Makita ga7021 amzn.to/2RPDBoo
6,000 rpm
Dewalt D28499X amzn.to/2JZqw9j
6,000 rpm
Makita 9927c amzn.to/2TaKL8n
3500 rpm variable speed
Dewalt dwp849x amzn.to/2qIZ7j9
3500 rpm variable speed
I buff/wax 50+ boats a season with my Dewalt DWP849X. The bearings are starting to get noisy and the housing gets warm now. Can I re-grease them? Or do I need to send out to Dewalt?

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can by Saturday watching all your videos! I detail cars for a living, and I ordered the renegade kit and about to purchase a Dewalt machine tomorrow. I got 2 semis to polish out, and to say I’m nervous is an understatement. Hopefully I can get these semis to shine! Got the wheels, tanks, and the box near the steps. I’m pretty sure I under quoted my self a lot, and hopefully I can get both of them done in a day. But we will see! Thank you for sharing these videos!
How did it go?
@@marshaundavis1156 It went great! I’m doing 3 semis for them, once every 4 months! Still lots to learn!
Hope all is still going well. Thank you for watching the videos.
Are all the Makitas ga7021 the same or is there different models ??
If you use those numbers specifically then they are all the same.
Is there a grinder/polisher out now that is say 5000 rpm? I’d like to step it up from the Variable dewalt 3500rpm but that makita 6000 is just too heavy man..
Hi evan can i use a dewalt dcg414 (60v cordless angle grinder) to polish aluminum? I think they run at 9000rpm. Thanks for your videos
I do know some polishers that have tried it but I personally have not. 9,000 is way too fast and dangerous for me to get ballsy enough to try it. And I'm not certain it would have enough torque to be able to use enough pressure to be effective. But if you do try it let me know. Be safe and shine on.
I'm a guy who will do 100 hours research before making the jump on spending money 🙈 💸💸💸 haha thanks for the guide.
Have you ever tried air grinders ??? I heard they last alot longer. I've been trying to figure out the maths to see if I could get one to run off my truck compressor 😂 trying to get my shine on when ever I have time 🤙 I love that saying ! If it don't shine it ain't mine ❤️
How about Milwaukee’s new 15mm random orbital? Part No. 2684-20
Or the 21mm version. Part No. 2685
Also, their sander? Part No. 2648
Thanks
Stupid question alert 🚨 if I used an 8” buff rather than a 9”. Would it help with building more heat? Since it’s smaller? And maybe would hold rpm better? I have no experience but just curious.
What about mesh sandpaper for stainless?
I searched your channel to see if you talked about mesh sandpaper, came back with no results. I see in the comments that one of your preferred brands is Mirka, but it seems you use paper backed discs. What's your opinion on mesh discs like the Mirka Abranet?
I have little experiance sanding stainless, but thought the Abranet Ace, which is a ceramic mesh, would be a good choice to use on a stainless steel barrel I want to polish.
We've actually just started messing with the mesh sandpaper and are about to do a video on it. I have found that on aluminum the mesh works great and extends the life of the paper but on the stainless it gets so hot it tears the mesh up and makes a mess. But we are still testing and hoping to get different results. But you will see a video here sooner or later.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing It's been a couple months since I asked this question, and since then I've used both Mirka Abranet and Abranet Ace.
I'm not experianced enough, nor use it enough, to say whether the Ace is better, but overall I like the mesh disks better. They definitely last longer than paper discs (blow 'em off and keep going), and I think they leave a cleaner finish. Paper leaves a noticable residue, especially when wet. With mesh, there's little to no residue. You know where you stand as you sand.
I haven't had a problem with tearing when hot, but they are fragile. Catch an edge or something just a bit sharp, and goodbye Sally. On more occasions than I care to admit, I've put a bran spanky disc on my orbital (either air or electric) and set it on what I'm sanding, and it catches on something. Ripped pieces go flying. Pisses me off, didn't sand a bit with the disc and it's trashed.
@@MrLonstar I’ve now used both and still prefer traditional paper to get the best results. But I never sand wet. Only dry.
Love you work, I just want to learn just do my own semi wheels , want to buy the makita GA7021 you recommended, but can I use it sand with 120,240 and 500 grit paper as well?
I have links in my bio for everything we recommend. Thanks for watching.
Evan have you ever used LEA Compound on cotton wheels to get even texture of leveling before starting your cuts?
What is lea compound?
How much you charge for rims and gas tank.
I charge by the piece based on condition.
Makita 9237C is that the same as a grinder or only good for using buffing and polishing wheels?
It is the same thing. Just a newer model.
??Couple of questions??
Do you have to buy any adapter bits for grinders to use as a polisher? It looks like the dewalt has an adapter? Thanks!!
It’s a size adapter. Her in Australia, we have M12 to M14 adapters
You don't have to use an arbor extension. I have lots of videos with no extension adapter on it. It all depends on the application and what you need to get into. Great comment.
Hey Evan would you ever use a battery powered Milwaukee variably speed if you didn’t polish too much.
I've tried it and it didn't have enough torque. But if you were just doing touchups with a white wheel and hand polish it might work pretty good.
I have a harbor freight grinder but can’t seem to find the correct head. When I install the safety flanges there’s not enough threads for it to poke through so I can tighten the nut down. Any recommendations?
Pick up an arbor extension from goshineon.com and you will have plenty of room.
Dude you educational people so much ..but you hands down are the best .and you have a good way of explaining
I appreciate that! I'm far from the best but I do try hard and love to give back to the industry. Thank you for watching.
Great video appreciate the info.
I’ve been debating on going with random orbit over the rotary style polisher for car and aircraft.. any advice on this? Thanks man
That is exactly what I use on car and aircraft. Can't get too agressive on aircraft.
Well I can tell you read from the rip that that one that you are showing in this video the Makita that is not a polisher that is a grinder the DeWalt is a polisher Makita has its own brand of polishers and I've only Makita now for several years and it is by far the best tool that I've ever used I have a brand new Dewalt that I like also but I think it sounds louder and I think it does about the same job it is brand new one of the newest dewalt's and it doesn't nice job too but it is little bit louder than the Makita and I'm just used to that Makita after the last 7 years of detailing has never never I've never burned up hey Paula sure some people say they've burnt them up I have used mind my day in and day out for many years never had one issue
Thanks for watching and commenting bud.
The makita is not a polisher, it is an angle grinder, you cannot compare a grinder with a polisher, all polishers have adjustable speed, if they do not have it, it is because they are grinders
That is very true but I didn't have a Makita variable out in California so the grinder is just for looks on the counter. In my shop I have both and can make the same comparison all day long. Thank you for taking the time to watch. Truly appreciate it.
What polisher / grinder you suggest to buy for new guy entering in polishing world . I am using dual action polisher ,as one i used in cars . I want to step up my game and use buffing wheels same as u use. I bought ZEPHYR SUPER SHINE X POLISHING KIT. Please suggest me . I appreciate your time. Thanks good information on your vedios
I have buffers linked in the descriptions for all the ones I recommend. goshineon.com we also sell all the buffs and compounds we recommend to use.
Thank you for your help. Good vedios very helpfull
Hey Evan. Great video! Have you tried the Makita 9237CX3 Makita 7" Polisher? Or should I just stick with purchasing the 9227c?
Not yet. I haven't needed to get a new one in a while but I think I'll order one next time and try it out.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing Thanks for answering. Its hard to contact big timers like you and get expert advice. I am really grateful for that. Also, keep up the great work. I love what you are doing bro. 😎👊
I have the Makita 9227 and it's about 13 yrs old and I've only replaced the cord which was
about a 5 minute job and never touched or replaced the brushes.
The variable speed is the way to go when buffing paint or sanding wood.
I blow it out running after each use to keep it from collecting dust.
The Makita 9237C is pretty much the same buffer but weighs a pound more but has added
features and may well be worth the extra money.
I paid $175. for my 9227c and have worked it a lot.
Evan is the best polisher out very knowledgeable I learned so much from just a few videos. I went out and purchased the exact models of grinders he recommended I'm not a fan of the Dewalt variable speed I love the Makita ga7021 Evan thank you for the videos you are the Professor of polishing.
Hi Evans how are you doing? I bought a various speed buffer on Amazon not knowing the difference between the grinder and buffer can will it still work for me? My wife bought it for me as a gift.
Yes you surely can. Check out my 3,000 vs 6,000 rpm video.
this video is what i needed
i just asked question about it in comment and just saw this video
thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Can you recommend a good cordless grinder, for touching up while I'm on standby? Thank you
I haven't found anything with any kind of torque on it for a cordless.
Here in Brazil I am only finding the SA 7021 Grinder and not the GA 7021
Hello Evan, what do you think about Rupes 3 plz ? vs Makita and Dewalt for car polish, thx
Too pricey for my blood and have no idea how well it will hold up to the torque needed for polishing metal.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thx and dewalt dwp849x its better ?
@@PhoenixTeraCallida I prefer the Makita
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing OK thx !
Is the Makita 6k grinder okay to use. I’m seeing the zephyr wheels are only rated for 3400k
I use the Makita 6k all the time. The buffs aren't rated for that just be careful. Hope this answers your question.
I bought a harbor freight grinder, took it out the box and it lasted about 5 minutes......... thanks for the info
Yeah they aren’t built for torque.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing yea I’m going to go with that matkita. But thanks again for all the information you put out. I appreciate it!!
Ac / Dc Switch ? I can't find what this means ? Will this be better for working out of my van ? Plan on using a Generator. Please let me know, If You know, Thanks
All grinders should work on generators just make sure the generator can handle the amp draw and pull of the grinders.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing Thank You Sir for Taking the Time to Respond to Me. Appreciate it.
Hi mate left a comment on here months and months ago but no reply…
Plan to sell internationally and not just within the states
Live in Australia and would like to purchase a few bits and pieces
Sorry I missed it. Yes we do sell some products in other countries. The shipping was an issue but now it isn’t. It’s pricey but now we can ship almost anywhere.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing no worries. Could you tell me which ones? Everything I put on cart is either us or Canada
@@brandon1043 I have the same problem he has never answered my questions and I tried buying on his website too and found the same only USA canada options to tick. Im in New Zealand. Though he makes a great job and I appreciate his videos and I know he's busy so can't answer all. Ive found a zephyr dealer here in nz so I think I'll order through them. Im looking at putting in a order of over a grand so I hope it all works.
Do you use variables for aluminum
And the 6000s for stainless
If you just had the money for one machine to do your own fleet work, which one do you go with?
Makita for sure
I prefer the makita
I have a makita 6000 rpm, what kind of air wheel would I need ?
goshineon.com/shop aluminum kit has the right buffs.
Makita 9237c is marketed at 3200rpm not 3500
thank you
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing no worries. I’m sure it works just as well though
What Milwaukee tool have you used?
My favorite model was the old 5,000 rpm Milwaukee but you can’t get that one anymore. And all the new ones are too bulky and heavy.
Thanks for your review!
The kicker for me was that the dewalt speed control can't hold up.
I just ordered the Makita for a granite counter polishing project.
what product do yell use to wash are get all the road dirt off on a peterbilt before starting your polishing, like the top of the fuel tanks they get very dirty.
What if the grinders are rated higher then 6000 I'm new to this trying to use something for me semi
Anything over 3,000 is dangerous. Anything over 6,000 is really dangerous.
What's better DeWalt or makita
Preference for polishing is Makita
Why do you prefer these to the 9237CX3? Thanks.
Never heard of a 9237cx3 before. I can't recommend a product I haven't ever heard of or know the specifications to. So I recommend the ones I know. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Well the one I mention it's advertised as a polisher, the ones in the video are grinders, so you use grinders for polishing?
@@angeldelgado3365 I personally do yes. It is dangerous but we need to be fast and efficient to make money doing this.
😎
Thank you
Is a Makita GA7011C ok for polishing?
Yes should be great.
so the ga7021 is a 7 inch and you are ok with that size and not a 9 inch
How would you compare the Makita 9237c to the Makita 9227c? They are both very similar with the only difference is the 9237c is a bit heavier but has rubber on the head and has better filters for the intake fan.
Jayk Anderson the 37 is nice but definitely bulkier and the filters plug up and get hot with the polishing cloth in the air.
Posting this before fully watching this video but I am definitely a Makita guy... Such a soft start
It's my go to.
Good info man 👍👍 where can i buy the extension you have on your grinders?
goshineon,com/shop arbor extension.
Would it be better to use an extender on the makita with airwave wheels or just run it as is?
Depends on what you are working on. I only run extensions if I have to.
Love our Makita 6k!!
I do as well. Thanks for watching.
Was hoping to see you at GATS last week. Couldn’t get any one to help me at the renegade booth. I will order from you directly
Sorry I missed you. I was there but may have been off touching up trucks. If you need anything hit me up directly at 9209790386 or buy on goshineon.com/shop
Your videos changed my life and my income. Thank you so much
Thank you. I am so happy to hear that you have for the videos helpful. God bless.
Is the DeWalt DW 840 to fast (8000 rpm?) ?
With pressure it’ll slow down.
Thanks. That joker seems heathy too
u are comparing grinder vs polisher. not same thing
Thanks for watching
I've been using Harbor Frieght grinders. They have been great, one of them I've had for 4-5 years now and still going strong but I think im going to upgrade to Makita. Picked up a Makita orbital sander and love it
To each their own. We all have our own way. Whatever way works for you is what you should stick with. Thanks for watching and supporting.
Hey Evan. I love your videos and really appreciate your talent and your instructions. I wish it was as easy as you make it look! I have a question. Do you use the 6000 rpm for certain buffing wheels and the variable speed for other buffing wheels?
That is exactly right. Different buffs and speeds for different buffs. Truly appreciate you watching and supporting.
What do you think of the Milwaukee 6088-30?
Nice machine but heavy and hard to clean out.
Hitachi (Metabo HPT) beats them both hands down. Lighter and more compact than both the Makita and Dewalt. 600-3000 rpm, high torque, electronic speed control, variable speed, soft start, Japanese quality under 200 bucks.
Thanks for sharing. I've tried them for years and never had good luck with them but to each their own.
What's your opinion on the Milwaukee Fuel cordless grinder/polishers? It's 6,000 and 2,200 rpm respectively but can't find specs on their torque. Would love to pick either or those up if they're adequate. I know cordless has come a long way and the portability is a such huge benefit.
They are very inadequate for polishing metal. They chew through batteries and don't have no where near enough torque.
Thanks for your knowledge..
Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it!
