Differences Between Random Orbital Polishers and Rotary Polishers: Applications and Recommendations
In the daily work of body repair, choosing the right tools is essential to achieve a perfect finish on vehicles. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the differences between dual action and rotary polishers and to know the best application for each. In this article, we will highlight the characteristics and uses of each type of polisher and mention some of the best options in our catalog.
Random Orbital Polishers
Random orbital polishers combine rotary and orbital movements, allowing for a uniform finish. The polisher head rotates in a circle (rotary movement) while moving in small elliptical circles (orbital movement).
Advantages
Safety: They are ideal for beginners due to the lower likelihood of damaging the paint.
Versatility: Suitable for both polishing and touch-ups, and for removing small imperfections.
Heat Control: They generate less heat, reducing the risk of burning the paint.
Applications
Finish: Perfect for achieving a shiny and uniform finish.
Small Imperfections: Ideal for removing subtle imperfections and holograms.
Detailing: Excellent for maintenance and frequent detailing work.
Recommendations
EPRO 8121 Random Polisher: This random polisher is designed for precision work, dark colors, and removing optical marks and holograms. Its ergonomic design and ability to handle demanding tasks make it an essential tool in any professional body shop.
BPC 7121 Random Polisher: This polisher is designed to run on a lithium battery and features a brushless motor. It is perfect for those seeking a lightweight, portable and efficient tool for finishing and detailed maintenance work.
Rotary Polishers
Rotary polishers have a unique movement where the head rotates in a fixed circle. This type of movement allows for greater energy transfer to the vehicle’s surface, resulting in more aggressive and faster polishing compared to other types of polishers.
Advantages
Efficiency: They are faster at removing deep imperfections.
Power: They offer a high level of correction and cutting.
Application Versatility: They can be used with various polishes and pads, allowing for adjustment of the abrasive level and desired finish.
Applications
Paint Correction: Ideal for removing deep scratches and severe defects.
Professional Polishing: Suitable for intense professional polishing work.
Restoration: Perfect for restoring highly deteriorated paints.
Recommendations
