Anyone else order a Makita PO5000C?

[VISITOR]

I ordered it and returned it.Fits great in your hands liked the dual mode.On da setting for me I found it to vibrate more than spin.But that's me and my opinion and doesn't mean squat for others.

for the price, i can't justify only using it and being more effective in one mode. what might be right for some, may not be for others...

I thought it was having trouble turning pads in free spin mode also. I felt like it was oscillating but not really rotating.

Absolutely correct.

[GSKR]

Well if you ordered it you better like it.75.00 restock fee.

Absolutely correct.

jeff, off topic... how do you like the GG3 with the 3.5" lake country thinpro pads?

Another reason it lacks rotation in free mode besides small throw...the fricking BP is 110 grams..120 if you count the hardware

It isn't an opinion if it's fact. !

I bolted the 3in HD griot BP and will see how it does in free spin mode

So far I only blipped the throttle a few times on speed one in forced mode in air

Wasn't an issue for me.. bought it to replace my 3401 which only has forced mode..as will the Mille and XCE

Compared to 3401 it's better in every way

Hopefully oct/,,Nov we'll see release of Mille

Mine has been sent back to Makita for repair.

Well hope it's a quick turn over

No doubt. I bought this over a 3401 based on reviews here. The guy at the Kwik Set where I dropped it off said from the code it was built in May 2017.
