Mirka is expanding its product range with the Polaros RP 600 corded rotary polisher. With a diameter of 150 mm, it is primarily intended for professionals in car body and ship repair. However, thanks to its low weight and quiet operation, it is also of interest to private users. In contrast to conventional polishers, which often stand out due to their tall design and protruding handles, the Polaros RP 600 impresses with its flat, compact design. This design allows the user to keep their hands closer to the polishing surface, which increases stability and control while working.
Automatic speed control
One of the main innovations of the polishing machine is the integrated ramp-up function. This gently increases the speed when the user applies more pressure to the surface being worked on. The practical effect of this is to significantly reduce the splashing of polishing agent, resulting in a cleaner working environment. As a counterpart to this, the machine has a ramp-down function that automatically reduces the speed if too much pressure is applied. This is intended to protect both the tool and the surface being worked on from damage.
Powerful and lightweight
The Polaros RP 600 is powered by a 750 watt brushless motor and has a speed range of 700 to 2,500 rpm. Despite these performance data, the polishing machine only weighs 1.75 kg, which enables fatigue-free working even over longer periods of time. Comparable polishing machines of conventional design usually weigh 2.3 to 4 kg. The low noise level is particularly noteworthy: even at maximum power, the noise level remains below 60 dB. An enormously low value that makes working in the winter warehouse much more pleasant. However, the technology comes at a price: at around 660 euros, the Polaros RP 600 is at the top end of the range, even when compared with other professional polishers from Festool, Fein or Flex.
