The DWP849X has all the standard features of the DWP849 but features a more user friendly design. The DWP849X comes with a three position bale handle that is fully adjustable along with the standard side handle. The casing of the unit features soft grip rubber handle along with a rubber gear case to prevent marring or scratching if contact accidentally occurs with the paint.

DeWalt listened to all the professional detailers and avid enthusiasts when engineering the DWP849X because it now has the ability to start a 600 RPM along with a CFS Controlled Finishing System with soft start to ensure a high quality finish every time. The unit is also several pounds lighter than its predecessor for increased accuracy and comfort during extended periods of polishing.

The DWP849X includes a hook and loop backing plate along with a wool compounding pad. To ensure that no wool fibers get in the air intake, decreasing the life of the machine, the DWP849X features wool ingestion shields.

Nice!! My Makita is starting so emit some sounds of wear and I have been thinking of getting one of these in case it goes kaput. Nice to see them here at AG.

These are sweet. I really enjoy working with mine. The fit and weight differense is very noticable over the old dewalt

Does it have soft start?

Does it have soft start?

Yes.

[Jhaight11]

i guess mine is defective lol

[kronos]

Yes.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but do you own one and know for sure? I ask because the poster above me also bought the 849x model and he says it does not have soft start.

[aerogt01]

Taken from the OP:

• Variable speed trigger allows user to control speed from 0 to dialed maximum setting

I understand that to be soft start.

[Jhaight11]

yea dewalt might think that gently pulling the trigger is considered slow start. as far as makita's go you pull all the way on the trigger which is a real soft start.

Looks like a great machine! I would love to get my hands on one!

[V3AutoDetailing]

the trigger is the same as it is on my old one.

Bought one!! really excited to see it in my hand!
