DeWalt DCM849B 20V MAX XR 7-Inch Variable-Speed Cordless Rotary Polisher Bare Tool

The DeWalt DCM849B 20V MAX XR 7-Inch Variable-Speed Cordless Rotary Polisher is a professional surface finishing power tool engineered for automotive paint correction, gelcoat oxidation removal, and fiberglass polishing. Powered by a high-efficiency brushless motor, this 4.8-pound bare tool drives a 7-inch backing plate with a 5/8-inch-11 spindle thread across a 800 to 2,200 RPM speed range controlled via variable speed trigger and speed dial. **Battery and charger sold separately.** Featuring a protective rubber gear case overmold to guard delicate finishes against accidental contact, this cordless rotary polisher solves cord-drag scratches, surface swirl marks, and operator fatigue challenges across marine and auto detailing applications.

Best Used For:

  • Automotive Clear Coat Paint Correction: Removing deep scratches, sanding marks, and swirl flaws from clear coat automotive paints using wool or foam compounding pads.
  • Marine Gelcoat & Fiberglass Restoration: Buffing oxidized fiberglass, hull gelcoats, and marine brightwork on boats and personal watercraft without trailing extension cords.
  • Specialty Glass & Metal Polishing: Restoring clarity to acrylic lenses, glass windshields, stainless steel trim, and aluminum brightwork.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • High-Efficiency XR Brushless Motor: Delivers maximum power output, cooler operating temperatures, and extended runtime on 20V MAX battery platforms.
  • 800-2,200 RPM Dual-Control Speed Adjustment: Variable speed trigger and thumb control dial allow precise RPM matching to specific compounding and finishing steps.
  • Rubber Gear Case Overmold: Protective rubber housing buffers non-slip grip zones and prevents marring on automotive paint finishes during tight-angle passes.
  • Dual Ergonomic Handle Configurations: Includes both an adjustable side handle and a top bail handle to optimize operator leverage across flat and vertical panels.
  • Standard 5/8-Inch - 11 Spindle Thread: Mates securely with standard 7-inch hook-and-loop backing plates, polishing bonnets, and compounding pads.
