How many PSI does this use? And, can it use polishing discs?

I am not sure how much psi as my compressor is too small for it. If you have the air you could use any surface grit or polish

Polishing discs are on the Porter Cable buffing machine.These would work but the hose over the shoulder thing isn't for me.

You probably mean the air consumption (cfm), as even a small compressor can put out 90 psi. Mine is mid-size (26-gallon) but for anything but a small job I'd want one with more constant output. The sander runs about 1-2 minutes before the compressor needs to catch up.If you're polishing a car, I recommend getting an electric polisher, and like the previous reviewer, I've had good results with the Porter-Cable model. Don't know if the air-powered IR accepts polishing discs. If you're at all doubtful about the output of your compressor, you should consider going electric for polishing.

The printed advertising from Bosch shows attachments for polishing. Bosch thinks it will polish. My purpose was sanding without a lot of dust and it does this better than expected.

For gel coated surfaces, I use a wool 8" buffing pad and a DeWalt 7" polisher. Turn at slow speed. Very good cleaning and polishing results. For painted surfaces use a foam pad.

The Surface cleaner is primarily based on PSI. This particular unit runs best on PSI of 3200 or more. We have a smaller 12" model that can run with lower pressures.

I'm sorry I can't answer that. So far I've just used it to inflate tires (100 psi). Seems to get to 100 psi quickly. Much faster than my old compressor. I've not run the DeWalt until it reached it's maximum tank pressure. It's a very nice compressor and is a pleasure to use.

You can use a regular (3 1/2 -4 inchgrinders for polishing,however I suggest a variable speed, polishing concrete I would start with 80 grit and progressively work up to 800. At the very least use a Makita or Bosch angle grinder the cheaper ones are not double insulated(bad for wet use) VERY noisy and they don't run smoothly.....if you want to spend the money the best grinder to use for polishing is a matabo variable speed,also flex makes a good hi end grinder.....use a sponge to wet surface keep it wet and have at it.

we used 90-100 psi .We don't change the psi becouse we used other tools at same time Works perfect.

I use it in 1 to 4 mixture with distilled water on a felt pad and polish glass pendants to a high clear polish. It is not consistent particle size and l don't think this is the best for precision optical polishing.

Hi - Really, any compressor will do from a pancake to a double tank beast. The gun uses very little flow per cycle and operating pressure [more important] averages out to be about 110 psi for best results. If you cycle the gun very quickly a lower flow rate will tell but I doubt it will be important for your work. This is the best pin nailer I have used to date and has a multitude of uses for fine work and repairing such things as fractured clapboards and split furniture also ... molding goes up and the holes are just about nonexistent. Have fun with it - DB

For best result you need diferents pads an apropiate chemical, remember low speed is for buff, dont use more that # 5 to polish

Dean, I would contact DeVilbiss for a better answer than I could provide you. Our shop had a huge compressor that ran everything. I'm thinking that if you didn't do a lot of spraying a 3 or 4 HP would work especially if you use any other pneumatic tools.

Hi paula, 2 Buffing Pads white , 2 sanding pads to fit the sandpaper on, fine sandpaper x2, Course sandpaper x 2, 1 small Bottle polish #1 blue, 1 small Bottle polish #2, 1 microfiber cloth, 1 small bottle of disc cleaning solution. Please be aware that this machine will still leave scratches on your discs its not perfect. Hope this helps.If you need to ask me anything else I'm happy to answer your questions.

The polishing pads will not last without water as a lubricant. They will burn up with little use.

I think its a small amount of polishing compound to be applied to the felt disk for buffing metal.

THE QUESTION: IS THE PORTER CABLE 7424XP A DUAL ACTION POLISHER? The answer is YES! You should check out either Pinnacle or Wolfgang for a great description of this polisher. Then on the same page check out the item HOW TO PROPERLY USE THE PORTABLE 7424 DUAL ACTION POLISHER. You can review the DVD on line and /or purchase the DVD for $12.99. The DVD walks you through the mechanics of a "dual action" polisher, how to prepare your buffing disc for the first time use, the use of different buffing disc, the proper way to apply your compound of choice and the proper way to buff your vehicle. As I recall, it is about 25 minutes of instruction. What is left? Just for you to use you new buffer following the instructions and gaining your own practical experience!

I have used to sharpen mine with disc provided but I would purchase a flapper disc maybe 80 grit.

I think it is too much torque to polisher. And very much of air consumption.You do Better to take of small electric Tooth grinder set.
