Flex 3401 heat question.

[Jeremy1976]

Does this area generally get so hot you can't touch it? I clayed used Nanoskin disk speed 2. Then applied glaze with black pad and speed 4 and 5 and half way through vehicle I noticed the heat. I'm doing a crew cab full size truck. It is almost 90 degrees and humid here today. I realize it's a machine and will generate heat. Being new to it I just would like some input from you guys that have some time on it that this is normal or not. Thanks in advance.

Yep, they generate a lot of heat. Especially at higher speed and lots or real estate.

Kinda surprised that high speed for a glaze.

I always apply glaze at 4 and fast arm speed, no pressure with a black pad.

And thanks man. I figured it was normal but wanted to be sure.

Mine does that too but I still worry that it is a tad excessive. Seems that it should NOT get that hot.

I deal with the heat, the Flex 3401 is more efficient than any polisher I've ever used, and I've used many.

Mine would get hot, but not too hot to the touch

Yep, mine always got hot too. Just be mindful to avoid touching it.

it's normal, just make sure to use the right size gauge extention cord...
