While the switch does take some getting used to when using the machine its as smooth as you can imagine.

This is a definite precision tool though but a must for a pro

Evan...

Just curious:
What's the serial number of your Flex PE8?

It was a prototype as well that was built in Germany that was given to Renny by Bob for testing. I was fortunate enough to have some time on this little monster and for being a proto that is hand built well its Smooooooooooth.

I would have to find out becuase it could have been the same one but if not then its probably 2 or 4

You don't have to bother.

Mike, In use the polisher appears to have a shaft extension on it. Does the extension come with it? If not what is it?

My gf will probably approve with a purchase based on it's "cute factor". This would be great for polishing drum shells too.

Sweet! The new Flex tool is here! Can't wait to see more on this little addition to the outstanding Flex lineup.

Thanks for sharing Mike!

It does not come with one but Flex is making one available. When Bob and Suby, (the engineer from Flex in Germany), were here I demonstrated how this nifty little accessory works for getting into tight areas.

Also have an article on it here,

Backing Plate Extension for use with Rotary Buffer

On Autogeek.net

Backing Plate Extension

And here,

How to buff in tight spaces using a rotary buffer

Surgical or Precision Buffing

It's a must-have accessory for the Flex PE8 and I'd even recommend getting 2 or 3....

Looking to order this alongside the PE-14.
I've noticed the PE-14 doesn't ship with a 25-foot cord option.
Will this have an HD version?
Any plans of rthe PE-14 to ship with as a HD unit?

I would assume with the lowest setting you could apply wax and sealant a little quicker than my PC7424 XP with the 3" backing plates. I know it will correct quite a bit better too!

So I was 1/2 right...a 3" polisher....but a rotary not a DA.....Santa Claus is coming early for me!!
