From the Manufacturer The new PE12-175 features a contoured, ergonomic grip on the gear housing, allowing for comfortable and continuous use in a variety of metalworking, automotive, stone, marble, and woodworking applications. The polisher’s 1200 W motor provides better overload capacities and a longer life expectancy. The increased torque of 124 inch-lbs. provides more power and control, enabling more efficient tool use. Additionally, with Vario Tacho Constamatic speed control, the polisher’s speed can be infinitely varied from the lowest to the highest value, while maintaining the tool’s no-load speed of 700 to 2,200 rpm. This enables consistent polishing across an entire surface as well as from job to job. The tool’s spindle stop enables quick and easy disc changes, the aluminum gear housing ensures a long tool life, and the side handle gives users more control when maneuvering the polisher. The polisher weighs only 4.8 lbs.

Thermal shutdown 10 minutes in. I had to pull out my cheap-o harbor freight special to finish the job. For the ten minutes it was working I loved it. Seemed to have consistent power and hled it's speed steady. I polish polyester finishes for a living. I've tried all the top end products, DeWalt, Makita, Porter Cable and now Metabo. The DeWalt lasted the longest at three and a half years. Porter Cable a year and a half. Makita a year and two months. Metabo... Let's just say if 10 minutes caused thermal shutdown to save the machine, I don't have high hopes it would be in it for the long haul. Maybe it's just not meant for the riggors of polyester. Could work great if you polish automotive urethanes where a lighter hand is all that's needed.

Works great
Out performs the other two brands that I have. Easier to use and to put even pressure down on the surface you are polishing.

Picture is misleading!
While this is definately a well built high quality tool it does not include the support plate for attaching the polishing pads. Buyer beware.
