    Surely the XCE will be officially launched.

    Would also be nice to see a smaller DA to run small pads.

    I hope a 5" plate will be released for the XFE.

    From what I've heard a new and improved Flex XFE will be launched!!! I've also heard from a source or two there is a chance for a new tool being added to the line up!
    Keep Calm... and Detail On!

    Yep it needed a redesign from the expensive, underpowered and unreliable product it was. Hopefully all those issues were addressed on the redesigned model. Hopefully the XCE3401 has no issues with the plastic shroud replacing the aluminum shroud from the VRG3401.

    The excitement is building.

    Lol,you expecting polishers to be replaced yearly like cellphones? Besides the MKII's are ridiculously powerful so no change is needed there, on the Mini or Duetto or some other innovations yeah. As for Flex the silence has been deafening, maybe they realised the 3401 and PE-14 was where they hit their peak and anything since has been regression.

    Pretty sure flex released a nice MF euro pad
    Seen it on Renny Doyles live feed while using 3D 501

    Flex could of came out with a 3401 or XCE mini..
    This is what the people have been asking for

    Sucks they just rehashed things, but atleast they improved the weak link in he XFE-15 and XCE forced non the less

    As for Rupes mark 3...that'd be ridiculous lol
    Now if they updated the Duetto/mini to that status cool.. but from my one thread I already knew that wasn't going to happen.. as with an updated cyclone..

    As for maybe a Rupes rotary or forced DA..
    Cool
    As for a Mini or duetto sized Unit Ibrid

    Sweet but can only dream ha

    Pulled this from Detailed Image

    FLEX XFE7-15 (SEMA 2016)

    Last year we were excited to have a first look at the FLEX XFE7-15. This year FLEX had these units in action and an updated release date, late December of this year! FLEX has always been known for their forced rotation 3401 VRG, but the XFE7-15 is a free spinning polisher that features a 15mm throw. This new unit has an orbit rate of 3200-9600 opm (no load), a power output of 420 watts, a cable length of 13 ft, and weighs 5 lbs. All in all, it looks like an awesome option if you are looking for a large throw unit that is backed with the quality we all expect from FLEX! You can pre-order your XFE7-15 by clicking here, and you can check out some awesome shots we snapped from the FLEX booth below:
