Zozza 293 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 When I say "NZ equivalent" I am talking about an equivalent brand sold here. The $300 palm size Bosch and Makita Random orbitals are simply not taking the paint off the inside interior of the hull of my GRP yacht, even with 40 grit. Cheers for any help here....

Guess I could always sell the tool once finished. Got a link to the specific Rupes tool? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zozza 293 Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 I ended up biting the bullet and got a Festool Rotex....the price will leave me in cold sweats for a while, but I guess I can always sell it post my boat restoration. I bought a few $300 sanders over the years and they just proved to be cr@p. 'Boats, Bokes, and Bank Accounts' ..... could be a good book .... Horror genre probably LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
