Harbor Freight Bauer 6" DA Polisher $99

https://www.harborfreight.com/6-in-7...her-56367.html

This polisher looks a lot like the Chechnya Tools DA that I reviewed here:

https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=556626

If this is the same polisher, it gives us a chance to get a really good polisher locally. I will go to HF tomorrow and check it out.

Heck it even looks like the griots G9!

All chicom made products are the same just different branding it seems.

Looking forward to your report KirkH

The Chechnya Tools also has a 7.5A motor and it does a good job.

I have the small HF DA. I bought it for $45 with coupon years ago. I changed the backing plate to a 5” CG’s one. I wonder if I could use that same backing plate?

Kirk, I’m looking forward to your review. If it’ll keep up with the G9, I’ll get it. Hopefully I can use a 20% coupon on it.

This is not the bauer da polisher than has been reviewed on youtube. This is a new item in the HF catalog that looks like the Griots and Chechnya Tools 21 mm polishers.

Kirk, have you tried the G9? It’s a pretty good price I think.

No but I know someone who has one and likes it.

I am looking for a mini polisher. i need one with 2" and 3" backing plates. The new G8 looks good but it doesn't ship until 12/18.
