Flex version of the Cyclo?

Ha. Tape off the trim?? Nope.

Interesting machine but I won't be getting one

[TFTADetail]

Even though the Cyclo is a great running a machine, the dual headed technology seems obsolete with all the modern large throw machines these days. I find it interesting that Flex is going down this path.

If dual headed technology seems obsolete...
Then why was it that RUPES (a modern long throw
machine manufacturer) see-it-fit to aquire Cyclo
back in January, 2015?

Manufacturing & Distribution.

Manufacturing & Distribution.

If, as you say:
"dual headed technology seems obsolete" is true; then:

Those reasons you list above really do nothing towards
imbuing my vote of confidence in RUPES, the Company.

Not sure what makes you jump to that conclusion? This merger will do nothing but help BOTH companies. And from my side of the fence Rupes US business continues to grow at a very rapid pace making this Manufacturing & Distribution component quite convenient. Even more so after they start producing more products.

RUPES S.p.A. has announced its acquisition of Longmont's Cyclo Toolmaker, producers of the Cyclo Orbital Polisher.
RUPES is an Italian manufacturer of electric and pneumatic power tools and vacuum systems and is known in North America for its BigFoot polishing system.
Cyclo Toolmakers has supplied the auto detailing and airplane polishing segments with its Cyclo dual head polisher for more than 60 years. Cyclo's Longmont facility is slated to become the center of Rupes' and Cyclo's operations in North America, where the new company will operate as Rupes USA, Inc.
"RUPES is absolutely committed to growing its presence in the North American market. We see synergies between Cyclo and RUPES and are excited to have Cyclo's engineering, manufacturing, distribution and support capabilities available to us," Jonathan Kissov, RUPES USA Inc. vice president of sales and marketing said in a press release.

"We are also looking forward to embracing the international distribution network that Cyclo has developed and working with them to further promote the Cyclo brand internationally."
With its BigFoot system of large-orbit random orbital polishing tools, RUPES says it has "changed the traditional approach to achieving swirl-free finishes on vehicles and other painted surfaces."
