    Re: Why does my FLEX XFE make that noise?

    I would just chime in to say the FLEX XFE 15 is primarily for finishing work not correction work. Thus the name Finisher.

    I once tried to use it to do correction work and while "yes" it did work it didn't work as fast or as effective as the FLEX 3401 aka the BEAST.


    Then I "thought about it" and realized I expected too much from a tool intended to do the finishing step not the correction step. And as I've posted here recently in another thread somewhere, that I have found that when all other factors and controls are the same, free spinning random orbital polishers will tend to finish out nicer on a wider spectrum of paint systems than any gear-driven orbital polisher. It's just the nature of the gear-driven aspect of the tool and some softer, more finicky paints.

    Does anyone remember where that thread is?

    Ha ha....


    For those that don't know... luckydawg and I were talking on the phone yesterday about how the [Search Engine] on this forum and actually all forums doesn't always work very well. I told luckydawg that instead of using the forum search engine I'll use Google.

    Basically add a few key words and my first and last name and I can usually find what I'm looking for. That only works for me and my threads and posts though...
