Is think it spins clockwise in both modes. I don't see why they would have it spin counter in random; all that's happening is the gear lock is released.

It looks like it bogged pretty easily when Mike used it. The fact Rupes went with a 5mm orbit on their new machine really has me wondering. They could have easily went with 8mm like the 3401. Does the smaller orbit + higher OPM = faster correction??
