Makita DPO600Z 18V LXT Brushless 150mm Random Orbit Polisher - BODY ONLY (No Battery, No Charger) - Parallel Import
BODY ONLY. NO BATTERY AND NO CHARGER ARE INCLUDED.
You are buying the polisher on its own. If you do not already own Makita 18V LXT batteries and a charger, this tool will not run out of the box.
PARALLEL IMPORT. Here is exactly what that means.
- We bought this unit abroad and imported it ourselves. It did not come through Makita South Africa.
- It is brand new. It is not used and it is not refurbished.
- Manuals, labelling and packaging may be for the country it was bought in.
- Makita South Africa does not carry the warranty on it. Tasty Tech does, for 12 months.
A cordless dual action polisher that is very hard to burn paint with.
The DPO600Z is Makita's 18V random orbit polisher, built for car detailing rather than heavy metal work. Random orbit means the pad spins and wobbles at the same time, so it never sits in one spot long enough to build the heat that burns through clear coat. That makes it the safer machine to learn on, and the one most detailers reach for when correcting a customer's car. No cord means no cable dragged across a wet bonnet.
Why people choose the DPO600Z
- Two working modes. Normal mode runs 0 to 6,800 orbits and 0 to 780 rpm for cutting and correction. Finishing mode drops to 0 to 5,200 orbits and 0 to 600 rpm for the final gloss pass.
- Variable speed dial, 1 to 5. Set the top speed before you start, then control it on the trigger. Constant speed control holds the set speed as the pad loads up.
- Brushless. More runtime per battery, less heat, and nothing to wear out.
- 5.5mm orbit on a 150mm pad. Enough throw to actually correct swirl marks, small enough to stay controllable on curved panels.
- Elastomer bumper around the head. If it touches the car it does not mark it.
Will it work with what I already have
It runs on any Makita 18V LXT battery, the same slide-on battery used across the Makita 18V range in South Africa. If you already own an LXT tool, your batteries and charger fit this polisher. It does not take Makita 40V max XGT batteries. For a full day of correction work, plan on 5.0Ah batteries or larger.
Worth knowing before you buy
- No battery, no charger, no case. The box holds the polisher, one backing pad, the side grip and a hex wrench. No polishing pads, no compound.
- This is a dual action polisher, not a rotary. It is safer on paint but slower on heavy defects. For deep scratches and hard single stage paint, a rotary still does it faster.
- It is not light. 3.1kg bare and up to 3.6kg with a battery, all of it in your hands and out in front of you. Long sessions are tiring.
- Consumables are on you. Wool, foam and microfibre pads to suit the job are bought separately.
