New toy

[Nica]

Funny I was looking at the exact ame site, the Flex 3401 is a rotary right? Just making sure becuase they were comparing it to the PC?

[DanielSwe]

The 3401 is the orbital.

[Nica]

So then I'm assuming that the Flex XC3401VRG is an orbital as well? Or is this the rotary version?

[DanielSwe]

No, it's the new orbital, man. Gotta find pads for it.

[Nica]

Really an orbital? mmmm...interesting...so is there a rotary version?

[DanielSwe]

Well, they have two polishers and you can Google Flex 602, that's the big mama but they haven't released an orbital before so this is news.

What a coincidence, I have been looking at these just a few days ago. I am very curious how it would work with pads that are not theirs (balance, vibration, and longevity of pad wise). Did you try it with anybody else's pads. If you did not could you please? And how much you paid for it?

[quote=Nica]Gary, where did you purchase your machine? I was under the inmpresion that these machines were not available in the US...oh and don't get me started about here in Canada.

Nica, I got it on one of the online tool places in the US. I have had it a number of years and I don't remember which one I got it from. Do a Google search and compare prices. That's what I usually do.

Weird, the other day I called Flex and they told me it is not available till July or so.

Balance is right with a pad not too thick, it vibrates some so some CTS-gloves will be necessary. Flex pad was all ok, I took our standard blue 150 pad and put on and then you have to adjust in terms of balance.

We paid 3995 Swedish Kronor for it plus 25% vat.

If you want less vibration you must try Top Tool with 133 mm pads. Nothing beats that one but this was a good purchase as an allround machine.
