wow very cool news !!!

[ScottH]

Thanks Mike! Some good info so far, and hopefully soon LC will release more specifics such as orbit stroke lengths (assuming 8, 12, 15 and 21), motor power, machine weight, OPM, number of speeds, where it's made, does it come with 5" and 6" plates standard, etc.

[KirkH]

The design kind of looks like the Makita PO5000C.

[Natron]

Awesome, cant wait to try one. Thanks Mike

[Farmallluvr]

It says 4 in 1,what 4 things does it do and what machines would this one replace?

[Renozx12]

Is UDOS a free spinning or gear driven polisher?

[Rsurfer]

It says 4 in 1,what 4 things does it do and what machines would this one replace?

Four different orbits..8m to 21m.

Four different orbit stroke lengths to choose from - no solid answer as to what they are? I was told 8mm to 21mm but nothing in-between.

Everyone is guessing the there two options will be the 12mm and 15mm






Is UDOS a free spinning or gear driven polisher?



Free spinning.


:)

[PaulMys]

This thing sounds amazing!

[MarkD51]

6 to 7 hundred beans is a lot of zort!

Unanswered questions:

Warrantee. Please don't tell me one year.

Source of Manufacture?, probably China,

Construction, most likely all plastic.

Backing Plate, probably proprietary, no others fit.

Bail or Stick Handles? Optional, maybe should be included at the projected asking price.

Internal Bearings? Maybe 2? Maybe none.?

Backing Plates included, 1, 2, ?

Sorry to be a skeptic.

Sorry for my earlier skepticism.

Looks like a very attractive machine. More choices are always better.

[RippyD]

Despite sounding a little negative those are all fair questions.

I would assume it's made in China. Warranty is a great question, especially since the durability of the variable throw distance is unknown. We'll have to wait and see. Will be interesting to see some hands-on regarding usability, noise, vibration, etc.

I'm sure Mike will be one of the first to use one and I expect he'll post info here.

[rlmccarty2000]

Does anyone else think $700 is a little crazy? At $700 I’m not a player.

[RippyD]

$700 is very steep. Then again, what does it cost to have 8mm, 15mm, and 21mm machines? This is less expensive than 3 machines. Also less space, and you don't have to swap machines when you need different throw for a section. For pros having multiple machines may be better (2 people can work concurrently, you have a backup if one stops working).
