Very convenient for storage and arriving at a job site with everything you will need. **Q: Can this be used as a buffer, polisher for metals like brass, stainless steel etc?** A: 25,000 rpm is not a good speed for polishing. Most polishing equipment runs much slower, for brass 3000 to 6000 rpm is mentioned. Surface speed is the important metric, diameter of polishing tool plus RPM determines surface speed. 7,500 feet/minute is a good starting point. Variable speed is definitely a needed option for polishing various materials as the optimum speed changes depending on the polishing compound and the material to polish. Bottom line - this tool is not a polisher **Q: Could I use this to take rust off the underbody of a car?** A: Yes you could do. I use mine to grind down synthetic porcelain on insulators that I have just repaired at electrical power stations. It does not get hot, even when using diamond bits, so rust off the underbody of a car will be no problem. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita GD0601 1/4" Die Grinder, with AC/DC Switch, Blue - Sworker 10 Pcs Carbide Burr Set 1/4 Shank Die Grinder Bits Compatible with Milwaukee Dewalt Drill Bit Electric or Air Rotary Tools Attachment Rasp Accessories Metal Wood Stone Steel Grinding Deburring - Weiler 56490 Mounting Mandrel For Cut-Off Wheels W/3/8" Arbor Hole, 1/4" Stem --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/3403975-gd0601-1-4-die-grinder-with-ac-dc-switch-blue](https://www.desertcart.no/products/3403975-gd0601-1-4-die-grinder-with-ac-dc-switch-blue) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
