Griots Made a new 6in DA?!

Just got their new magazine, the 6in machines are mostly red now. Are they more powerful, weaker? Anyone try one yet?

Re: Griots Made a new 6in DA?!

We were discussing this in the chat box yesterday, seems to be just an ergo change; it looks like a bigger version of the 3" now, apparently motor is the same, I think they changed the switch locations also, it won't be available until December, and it's a little more expensive, at least that's what they are showing now.

I got the new issue also and said you can pre order the new orbital. Just a few little things added to it not a big deal. same power so. They finally offer a third pad as well. Black

Same power...improvements in comfort....rubber coated handle...molded with finger grooves in the housing...rubber palm pad on the housing. More user friendly and about 20.00 more.

Make that 10.00 more...

Re: Griots Made a new 6in DA?!

From the Griots website; " the 3rd generation Griot's Garage random orbital. Our new orbital offers the same great power as the previous version, but we redesigned the exterior to achieve a new level of comfort and ease of use. We kept the adjustable handle but added a rubberized grip to it. We added molded hand and finger grips to the housing, along with a domed, rubberized palm grip. We moved the speed control dial and power switch to more convenient locations."
