    Was that good balance with their own pad or you used 3rd party pad? How you compare vibration to say one of PC?

Flex is a good machine and I have used my Flex wet stone polisher a lot. For the price of their rotary I would get a metabo instead. Looking at the specs on their orbital polisher it look pretty powerful but priced high.

    Well, in Sweden we don't have PC for comparison. It is less vibration with the original pad than with the 3:rd party pad. Top Tool beats both this and the Cyclo when it comes to vibration but Flex is a bad boy in strength and flexibility. With the right pads, Top Tool hardly vibrate and I drive it full speed-6500-often.

    How much of a difference there is?

    I can not distinguish details of it's design correctly from small picture, but do I see belt is moving out in the open? If yes I would be afraid to use it. I don't want to be nearby when belt snaps at 6500 rpms.

    Belt is built in, you have to remove parts in order to get it out.

    I just did a google seach of Flex Polisher and found lots of hits. The company also has it's own website were you can find Flex distributers based on your zip code. I now AG don't carry Flex polishers so I hope I don't get in trouble for providing links. Their North American website if flexnorthamerica.com. Another company I remember that came up carring flex polishers was toolking.com.
