Does your Griot's DA say PROFESSIONAL random orbital on the side?

I'm gonna check mine just came in the mail.... nope mine does not say professional, but its heavier than I expected!

I have both the new and old models. The new does not say professional on the side plate and it states lower opm's. I tried using a yellow pad with a lot of pressure and it would not stop spinning. I did not bother getting out the old professional model, but the new one has more than enough power. You could never put this much pressure on the PC without stopping the spinning. It's funny that Mark is getting a lot less power on the newer machines. Dunno!

I should have made it clearer, I'm comparing both machines on SPEED 4. On 5 and 6, it may not be as noticeable. I use MF pads a lot, and like to be on speed 4.

However, I will have a "kill a watt" amp and watt reader on Friday that will really shed some light.

Mark,

Do you still have your first machine so you can compare the two?

That sure would've kept me from making my last post and looking foolish

I like it powerful that way ....

When you say eats LC pads, what do you mean?

I have some LC flat pads I used with my GG, and the center of the pads are indented, or beveled in in the center. Is that what you mean? are they still usable?

Just Changed my order To a PC was informed that Griot's is on BO for at least 5 to 7 days. I didn't like that Griot's had a change and the consumer was not aware! PC has been around for along time.

Honestly, the last 3 Griot's I tried are very little(if any) more powerful than the PCXP.
