This is a 7.9 amp, 2000-4000 RPM 4" arbored machine, that takes a variety of screw in heads from polishers to hole boring heads. It has three holes in the head that evenly distribute water and we use Husqvarna's portable water source to supply water that is a very easy, nice system for small jobs.

I love this wet polisher, Ive had mine now for about five years and I use it every day, the only repairs I've made is replacing the brushes witch I do about every three mouths but I do use it about four to five hours a day polishing petrified wood. My only complaint is when you buy your Milita wet polisher it only comes with the female end half of the water input quick connect and it is very hard finding the male end. I've used many different brands of wet grinders and found that this by hands down is the best on the market today.

I hear you on the water input and output problem. Silly to buy a machine then have to find the parts to hook up a standard hose (see below), but the machine is so good I still support it. It crossed my mind that internationally, all garden hoses are not the same (English vs. Metric) might be the reason for the problem?

Excellent, to the point demo which comes in very handy for me. 1. Is the quick connect to hose a separate purchase? 2. Which brand of diamond disks did you buy, or were they included? 3. Amazing you can use this for boring holes, can you also use as a wet tile saw with the right diamond cutting blade? I need to polish fire damaged marble tables. Some pros suggested dry polishing with diamond disks or sandpaper. I think wet polishing is better. Any thoughts?

Quick connect was separate, see lower comments, no particular brand on the diamond polishing as the kits are all around $50 or so bucks for a bunch of wet dry pads (not included), y. Me, I like wet because the water keeps the dust down, removes the material that is powder, runs cool and pads last longer, but, water makes a mess unless your prepared for it. Tape and a tarp fix most problems. Be curious if an expert has a reason why they prefer dry?

He said that dry polishing was much cheaper than wet polishing. I have not tried either method, but intuitively felt wet polishing for marble would give a finer result, with less dust. I don't mind the mess. Dry powder makes a bigger mess in your lungs. He also said to use acidic powders. Do you use a polishing cream to get that high gloss shine? Any sealants? My only hesitancy was the initial cost of wet grinder. Its over $300 which is pricey. Thanks for your good tips!!
