Re: Are the FLEX's in yet?!!?!?

I did read that someone that ordered from AG got a shipment notification on Friday. That would indicate that at least *one* did come in. I wonder if any more came in.

I happened to order one this Friday from a different vendor (he was the only one who had them in that time in U.S.)

Re: Are the FLEX's in yet?!!?!?

HI,
I don't want to hijack this thread but I do want to make all aware that we have just added a new adapter for this market segment of forced rotation DA machines, but at this time only for the Makita B06040. I have used this setup over the last month or so and find that this machine has tremendous power maybe more than the Flex, has the option of changing from rotation to just plain DA, and with our adapter system has less vibrations and lets you change to any pad size from 8in to 6in to 4in without ever changing the backing plate! Not to mention I belive that there is no backorder on the Makita B06040. Check out this post from a user!

Re: Are the FLEX's in yet?!!?!?

Some Flex did come in this week, so some of you will be seeing them soon. And if you did not make that batch there is another coming in soon. Be patient, they are coming in and we are shipping them out as soon as we get them. It will be worth the wait!

I own and have used both XC 3401 VRG and BO6040. IMHO (and of others that I have shown it to) BO6040 in forced mode (so we can compare apples to apples) is a pain in both the back and neck and everywhere else to use, especially when compared to Flex, due to reasons that have nothing to do with vibration so they would stay there even if vibration is completely eliminated. At the same time BO6040 did not offer me any proof of higher corrective ability than Flex, and it's corrective ability would have to be significantly higher, even higher than rotary's, for me to be willing to live with the "pain in the ..." I find BO6040 to be.

IMHO, if XC 3401 VRG is not enough rotary is the only way to go, and question "Flex or BO6040" is not even a question.

I am with you, as I too am in process of getting a new paint correction/polishing toy but not Flex, I already have a Flex (or two). If my speculations turn out true this one will be even more exciting to me than Flex
