The Weha PIG Counter Top Planetary Polisher was designed and built specifically for stone countertops. This isn't a modified floor machine. The PIG Planetary Machine has been designed to re-polish, hone, and leather all stone countertops. If you have a scratch, you can re-polish. If you want to remove the polish and hone, no problem. If you need to leather granite, marble, or quartzite, you can do it easily with the Pig Planetary Polisher.
The Pig Planetary Counter Top Surface Polishing Machine has been designed for both in-shop uses as well as for job site (in-home) use. For in the shop, there is a dedicated quick connect water connection that connects to a standard garden hose for continuous water flow. This has an on/off valve that can control water flow. For on-the-job, in the home, just fill up the half-gallon water reservoir. Dispense the water with 2 separate on/off valves to control the exact amount of water needed. To help control the water spray from the pads, a removable rubber water skirt is provided.The PIG Planetary Polisher has 3 heads each with a 5/8-11 thread. It can accept 4", 5", and 6" pads. With a full 14" clearance, the 6" pads are preferred as it offers more diamond to surface contact.The PIG is a dual-action planetary polisher. Meaning the 3 heads spin as well as the entire body, giving dual planetary action for a fast, clean, even, no-swirl finish to all material.Using the PIG Planetary Polisher along with the Weha polishing systems below will give you the perfect factory finish Hone, Polish, and Leather finishes.
The PIG comes with 3 BRASS thread snail lock backup pads. These can accept both 5"and 6" velcro snail lock backup pads(the 6" are also included)
Also included with the PIG Planetary Polisher is the 6" Donkey Package.
The 6" Donkey Package system has been thoroughly tested on Marble, Granite, and Quartz to create a perfect hone, scratch removal, and complete factory finish re-polish.
Note: Certain extremely hard Quartzites are very difficult to work with and currently Weha does not have the correct diamonds to efficiently work on those quartzites. Its not the issue with the PIG machine but an issue with building the correct diamonds to cut the the polish and make a honed finish and polish with those quartzites. This is a continuing Weha R&D project to find the perfect solution on these hard to work with quartzites.
The Donkey Package includes a set of 3 for each of the following:
6" Pig Snail Lock 3 Steps 0, 1, 2, 3 Diamond Pads .
6" Donkey 600,1000,2000,3000 :These pads will give added gloss, can be used by themselves to remove light scratches, add depth to polish, and on quartz stone, give texture to the surface. Playing with a combination of these with different types of stone can give different finishes.
The PIG also comes with a 31 1/2" Extension handle. The Extension handle attaches via a quick pin system. The Extension handle connects plugs into the Pig so you can turn the Pig on/off and change the variable speed all from the Extension Handle. The Extension Handle is perfect for larger islands as it will reach across the entire island and work the surface continuously without having to walk around the island.
The extension handle is also perfect for working on the floor by either polishing floors or putting full slabs on the floor, a saw bed, or work table.
The PIG has a variable speed of 300-940 RPM. This variable speed is super easy to use with only one button. Simply start the PIG and then hold down on the green start/stop button and the PIG RPMs will go up and down. And it has an RPM memory built-in so that it starts back at the rpm where you turned it off.
