I have a Ryobi CG180SPK Grinder Sander Polisher. Have been using this for over a year now. Speed variable is 1-6:
Polishing 1-2 = 1500RPM
Sanding 3-4 = 3500RPM
Grinding 5-6 = 6500RPM
Yeah, it's a hybrid and very flexible machine. I've mastered the use of this specific rotary for quite sometime. In order to operate at the lower 600-800 or 800-1000 RPM (to apply wax) I just do a Power-on, Power-off technique.
I don't know if this true with all Rotaries, but as far as know, my Makit 9227c also has this characteristic: that before going to the maximum preset RPM, it speeds up to a certain period of time, as if like having a clutch disc inside that slowly hook with the rotary.
To understand, it goes like this: some rotaries go up automatically at the preset RPM in an instant or right after you press the trigger. But this clutching action i mentioned above does not do the same thing. The Rotary does not just speed up to the preset RPM but rather "accelerates" before reaching the preset RPM.
With this characteristic of my Ryobi and Makita, I am able to do Power-On, Power-Off technique for "waxing." It's like powering on (pressing the trigger) and powering off before the Rotary reach the maximum RPM. Since my preset RPM at speed setting 1-2 is 1500RPM, I'm able to power off before it reach 1500RPM (or at 800-1000) and then power on again if it goes down 300-500 RPM.
This I do on my Ryobi (the Makita can be preset to 800 lowest, but some Rotaries like Ryobi hybrid can only go trigger-lock at 1500).
Is there anyone practicing this Power-On Power-Off technique on Rotaries with 1500RPM minimum trigger-lock to apply LSP?
Will it ruin the gears inside the Rotary?
