wingless Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 My Milwaukee 5460-6 11 Amp 0-1,750 rpm 7"/9" polisher has been a reliable workhorse tool for many years. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Metalworking/Sanders-and-Polishers/5460-6 This tool has a detachable 10' Quik-Lok two-prong power cord, a side handle (goes on either side) and a 7" rubber backing pad w/ retention nut. The tool has a variable speed trigger AND a variable max speed knob. The combined usage of both controls is intuitive during usage. These controls are well placed. The tool has standard 5/8"-11 spindle threads and a spring-loaded push button spindle lock, for quick / easy pads changes. My tool has been "easy" to maintain the exterior clean, but the fiber pads were accumulating interior contamination, so I disassembled for interior cleaning. I removed the handle screws, then removed each handle half. The tool rest was also removed, cleaned and replaced. The gear box was not disassembled. I instead pushed a rag through the openings to clean those wide narrow openings. Now it looks good through the vents again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingless Posted June 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 A Milwaukee M18 Fuel 90-299-8001 16" long x 10" wide x 11" tall medium-sized tool bag was purchased for this tool. This is a nice 600 denier water-resistant top-zipper canvas bag, with six exterior pockets, two sewn / riveted handles and two sewn plastic click-snap strap attachment points. The bag has a smooth exterior canvas bottom surface. There are contrasting-color embroidered sewn logos on the exterior. Like this one: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Storage-Solutions/Soft-Storage/48-55-3490 The tool and all accessories fit nicely within the bag. There is also room for bottles of polish / compound within the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
