    Video error (sonax cutmax w/ mike phillips)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQD1cBCm6Ok In this video around 4:20 time mark I believe it was stated the machine was the FLEX XC 3401 but my FLEX XC 3401 looks a bit different, lol, machine in video looks more like a FLEX XFE7-15 or is it just me, I was looking for another polisher for my arsenal but staying away from a rotary (have a rotary dislike the weight), but one that does the level work of a rotary for removal of heavy swirls in a BMW, INFINITI etc.

    At the 8:25 time mark, Mike says that the polisher is the XCE9 3401 polisher. From that I take it that he is using the new version of the XC 3401. He also said it is a forced oscillation, forced rotation dual action polisher. First time this has been shown in a non-show (SEMA, car show) environment? Looks like the XFE7-15 150 because of the plastic cover over the gear head bell, must be using common casing parts between the two polishers.

    I remember seeing a pre-production version that Mike had (if I remember correctly- I could be wrong). Maybe I'm thinking of that thread where they asked us to "name the new polisher" and then gave one to the winning member.

    Thanks, I appreciated the help (hearing issues from military TINNITUS) I had volume full blast like 3 x's on replay, lol may have to research that FLEX unit.

    So they renamed the XCE that never got released
    Guessing this means we will finally have an ETA date in this baby?

    ...Then again looked at date...March 2016...
    It's def the XCE forced rotation though aka 3401 in xfe-15 body

    It was introduced 2 SEMAs ago...Never got released due to XFE15 breaking...Got re introduced this past SEMA..
    XFE15 got re released... STILL no initial release of this XCE..

    PS the naming contest was for the XFE 15 longstroke..Which was named the finisher, no one from contest was picked

    Sure looked like a rough ride to me. Reminds me of the experience I had with Thin Foamed Wool on the PC.

    On the flip side, the 3D white lambswool pad is verrryyy smooth on the 3401.
