    Default worn out polisher.

    My polisher packed in mid way through bull-nosing and polishing travertine skirtings..on the swimming pool job....

    So i went and got a new one...

    Bit the biscuit and got a Flex polisher.. what a machine compared to the one i got from ebay early last year..Silverline pro one.. bag of pap..

    The Flex is so so smooth.. knew i should have got one first time around.




    Works well with my bull nosing bit and diamond pads.






    Pics to follow in the pool thread once complete..

    Hell of a lot of bull nosing etc.. but worth it when done.

    Shame i had to buy a new machine..not..

    If the Flex is out of stock, I think I'll just get one of these:

    Marmo Meccanica LCH922 with calibrator

    Should do the same job I think......
