Questions & Answers
Can you use this as sander as well
No, this is designed for polishing and paint correction, not sanding.
Why is it called 21mm? Are we referring to 21 metric millimeters? And why is there a 21mm and a different 7” random orbital option? American and rest of the world options?
The 21 mm refers to the orbit diameter (throw) of the dual-action (DA) polisher — the distance the pad moves off-center while spinning. The 7" Random Orbital option refers to the pad diameter, not the orbit throw.
Is the spindle thread 3/16" or 5/8"? What are the correct Milwaukee part numbers for each size spindle thread?
Hi, Jonathan. The M18 FUEL™ 21mm Random Orbital Polisher includes a 6" backing plate, which is compatible with hook-and-loop polishing pads. For spindle thread adapters, Milwaukee offers the 5/8"-11 to M10 x 1.25 Thread Adapter, which is commonly used for angle grinders but may be applicable depending on your specific accessory needs.
Are these devices rotary or random in operation? Does the polishing head connect with hooks? What is the best machine for polishing a car without burning the paint?
Hi, Jonathan. The M18 FUEL™ 21mm Random Orbital Polisher, and the polishing head connects using a hook and loop attachment method. The M18 FUEL™ 21mm Random Orbital Polisher is ideal for polishing a car without burning the paint due to its random orbital action, which reduces the risk of paint damage compared to rotary polishers.
Can you swap backing plates on this polisher?
Hey Estevan! Yes, you can swap backing plates on the M18 FUEL 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 21MM DA Polisher. The polisher is compatible with different backing plates, allowing you to interchange them based on your application requirements.
