Griots 6" DA. Generation 1 -vs- Generation 2

[Flash Gordon]

For those who have used both, can you tell a difference, and if so, what?

[Rsurfer]

Didn't know there were 2 generations. I know the 3" Griot has a second generation. When did generation 2 come out?

Hi there yes came out a few years ago. The 6" now shape alittle different but has a lor more amps. There was a change in orbit size to give it a little more ummph. The 3 " has a different shape too make it more ergonamic I have that one now works great

Sorry, accidently pressed button sent too early. I have the earlier version of the 6" Griots orbital works great but gota chance to try the newer ver definitely has more ummph but I bought a Flex that I use mostly unless job needs then I bust out my Makita.

The 1st generation is less powerful. I'm putting mine on Ebay sometime this weekend.

Here are some pics.

Maybe someone has a new pic to compare.

I don't think anyone made an official announcment, but yes, there is a difference between the ones being produced now -vs- the ones made 2 years ago :buffing:

I wasn't aware the amperage or orbit size had changed? Are you talking about the 3" or the 6"? :buffing:

What difference did you notice between the one your brother ran over and the one you have now? (if any)

If I remember correctly, the original Griot's didn't have a removable backing plate.
