    Dewalt 849X Question ????

    Hey everyone,

    Just picked up a Dewalt 849X today.......Awesome

    The soft start has a burst of speed then goes back to
    dialed in rpm. It helps picking up a bead, is that what
    they intended? I can't think of any other reason.

    The dust/lint filters are cool, since I like using blended wool

    My first victim is going to be a 40' RV, can't wait

    I detailed a 40' RV for
    The break in and it exceeded
    all my expectations.

    -Quiet
    -Smooth
    -Powerful

    And pretty light, my shoulders
    were sore from the RV but a car
    would be no sweat.

    It's pretty cool, there's two screens or whatever
    You want to call them on the outside, one on each
    Side to trap wool,fuzz from getting into the machine.

    I have used super cheap polishers, Makita's, older Dewalts and test drove a few Flex models and I have
    To say for the price it's like driving a Cadillac.

    I actually love the Makita. I've never even felt the desire to buy something else. I've always wanted to try a Flex. But the new Dewault sounds interesting. Maybe I can convince a buddy to buy it so I can try it, haha.

    I currently own the "X", the older dewalts, makita, dynabrade buffer (not DA), MILWAUKEE and the flex PE-14 as well as a few other buffers. I was thinking about doing a comparison write up soon on them. Any interest in that?
