Newbies that have just received one please post your thoughts. Veterans who own the Flex please post as well. Thanks!!
Dengood...I just got my Flex the other day...and tried it on a few panels I have to test products on..I have to say its night and day over a PC..I do not have a UMD...but with comparison to a PC ..its way better...I ca do about 90% of the correction I can with my rotary.....the other 10% would be with wool on a rotary....


do I think its a good investment...YES....also vibration is very minumal also...with 5.5 in pads it is close to O.....I have used it with LC...Megs...3M...and old Edge classics...and they all worked fine ....

hope this helps.....also very comfortable to use....

Pads - Yes, BP - No. The Flex has it's own special backing plate that is gear driven for the forced rotation.
