L337 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I have been using a rotary for ages on the boat but on car paint I have no idea what speed I should be using for cutting and finishing I have 6 speed settings as you can see below Hook and loop adapter plate Orange waffle cutting pads with black waffle finishing pads What speed should I be cutting (Orange pad) at with this rotary? And what speed with the (Black Pad) finishing pad? Using Megs 205 and 105 ultra cut and finish. http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b568/puckeru572/B9AB0A3F-04AB-43DA-8497-CA6B24F38E8F_zpslstao3h3.jpg http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b568/puckeru572/0896A962-7760-4EEA-A77D-89CA90AF97F3_zps3yewirqg.jpg I have the same DA by the looks of it and usually use 3.5-4 with a firm pressure too, but I am very comfortable with it and have DA'd 100s of cars. Start off 2-3 with light pressure and take your time, go over left-right then up-down 3,4 maybe 5+ times. The problem is there is no answer, a cheap 90s hatch doesn't need much pressure or speed to burn through, conversely a new BMW you could polish at a higher speed and a lot of pressure without any adverse effects. I learnt on my own crappy cars at the time, burnt through loads of times before I got it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
