What is the difference between a Dual Action Polisher and a Rotary Buffer?
A DA machine, or Random Orbit machine free spins the head on a centre spindle, running this spindle around an eccentric ring, off-setting it. It is the pad speed that brings out the gloss. A Rotary Buffer spins at variable speed on a stationary spindle and it relies on the size of the pad, torque of the motor, and pad pressure to generate the heat to break down the polish and bring out the gloss.
