Random orbital vs rotary
The TORQX is a random-orbital polisher; the DEWALT DWP849X is a rotary polisher. They use different pad motions, so a higher rating alone does not make them interchangeable. Rotary polishing requires greater care around edges and heat buildup; choose the motion that suits your experience and paint-correction work.
