DEWALT Buffer Polisher DWP849X – 7-In/9-In, 12 Amp, Variable Speed 0–3,500 RPM

Overview

Take on challenging polishing jobs with the 7 inch to 9 inch variable speed polisher featuring a soft start. Powered by a robust 12 amp motor and built with an all ball bearing construction, this tool is designed for durability and smooth, consistent finishes across a range of materials.

At the heart is electronic control that maintains the selected speed under load, helping you achieve the finish you want without guesswork. The variable speed dial lets you set a maximum speed from 0 to 3,500 rpm, with an extra low range near 0 to 600 rpm for more delicate surfaces. A separate variable speed trigger provides real time control as you apply pressure, while the soft start minimizes startup jolts for a smoother, more comfortable operation.

Design details that support longevity and easy maintenance include a replaceable wool ingestion shield to help keep debris out of the mechanism, a no volt release switch to prevent unexpected starts after power is restored, and a large spindle lock button for quick backing pad changes. A non Mar rubber gear case cover helps reduce surface imperfections and improve grip on slippery surfaces. The polisher comes with a hook and loop backing pad bale and straight side handles for versatile control.
