FLEX XFE7-15 150 Unboxing/FLEX picture comparison

[SRConcepts]

Nice purchase, Mike! I was really on the fence on whether to get one of these, or the Rupes 15. I ended up with the Rupes, simply because my cars are a bit more 'curvacious' than most and the 5.5" pads work better for me. If there was a 5" backing plate available, I would have went the other way. Please let us know how it works for you, so I can see how hard to kick myself

We are all waiting for your review of this machine. Do you have any of the Rupes machines for comparison?

Although this is a nice machine. It is not in the same ballpark with the Rupes. Its a good 1st go with this machine, but from my understanding there is already work on the 2nd edition of this machine to bring up to match a little closer to the Rupes

Doesn't have the low end torque like the Rupes, but they are already working on the next edition of it

Yep...seriously considering selling the Boss 21 and getting one of these.

Heard it's a bit weak compared to the Rupes Mark II.

That would be a little discouraging. But on the other hand, it would keep me from adding it to my arsenal.

9000 opm? Just like the 3401 9600 opm? Lol.

Very Nice! Can't wait to hear your thoughts after you've test driven it.

Thanks Don! Will do!

Sure thing Mike. I do not own any RUPES tools.

Thank you! My cars are 'curvacious' as well and am interested to see how this setup performs. I hear a 5" plate will be released later on down the road.

Will share everything I can.

Will do!

Does not make any sense whatsoever to start working on an "updated" machine when they just launched this one. As for this machine and improvements/additions the only thing I see is later on down the road the HD model with upgraded cord will launch, a 5" plate, and a reworked 230v machine for the rest of the world.

Other than that, the focus will be on launching the gear driven XCE at the end of the year.
