{"product_id":"griots-garage-g15-long-throw-orbital-polisher","title":"Griot's Garage G15 Long-Throw Orbital Polisher","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis ground-up redesign takes the best of THE BOSS™ long-throw orbitals and incorporates many of the technical innovations of the G9. The project continues the collaboration with our new manufacturing partner with all components being exclusively designed to our specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the G15, we've taken the shape of the G9 and extended the body housing by 20% to accommodate a 'big block' 1,100-watt motor. This represents a 22% increase in power versus the previous tool. In the G15, the motor delivers a speed range of 3,000 to 5,300 orbits per minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the more innovative features of this tool is its cooling strategy. Due to its long-throw articulation, the G15 could not integrate fan cooling in its counterbalance like the G9. So we engineered the G15 with its cooling fan integrated into the backing plate. This new backing plate technology was developed exclusively for these machines and is undeniably best in class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalancing the combined weight of a backing plate, buffing pad, and the liquid on the pad translates into less vibration and a smoother running machine. For instance, microfiber pads generally weigh nearly twice as much as a foam pad so fine tuning is beneficial. Our innovative Weight Optimization System consists of three uniquely engineered fasteners, each weight-matched to a Griot's Garage pad type to ensure you'll enjoy best in class performance from these machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should be noted that long-throw polishers are not ideally suited for application of waxes and sealants. Their large throw tends to cure the wax unevenly with the exception of our BOSS™ Finishing Sealant whose formula is designed to comply with the heat cycling of long-throw orbits. The G8 or G9 are our most suitable tools for wax application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful 1100-watt, 10-amp motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15mm orbit throw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision CNC-machined steel counter-balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium bearing construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted with BOSS 5\" Fanned Orbital Backing Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3000 - 5300 orbits per minute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-foot quick-connect 16 AWG SJO rubber power cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 speed settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed dial accessible for right- and left-hand users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully variable speed trigger throttle with trigger lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-shot rubber platypus head-grip, and strategically placed all over tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShroud grip contoured to accommodate four fingers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRest pads for tool to lay stable on its back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick access brush side ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 5mm hex key wrench, and replacement high-carbon brushes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvertible to a 6\" pad system with optional BOSS 6\" Fanned Orbital Backing Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Griot's Garage","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":45277764485173,"sku":"GRI-10915","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4782\/9813\/files\/10915.jpg?v=1780584188","url":"https:\/\/xmgeneralstore.com\/products\/griots-garage-g15-long-throw-orbital-polisher","provider":"XM General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
