thats plenty fast enough. i usualy buff around 1400-1800 with a wool pad a little faster with foam. i own a dewalt but def like the mikika (sp) better its a lot quieter and smoother

Whatever buffer you choose, get one with a variable speed. That way you can fine toune it for what works for you. You'll likely not use speeds beyond 2500-3000 unless youre demonstrating how to burn holes in paint

I've had the same Makita for 10 years and it works like a champ.
