    Meh, why not.

    I've used UHS on the 3401 and it worked fine.
    I have also used the Megs MF cut discs on 3401. It works, but not exactly the best set up. Maybe just a tad too thin?

    They work fine. I use the yellow mille ones that are thinner but I swap them very often to avoid overheating or damaging them. The thicker ones work just fine though.

    Ditch Microfiber on forced rotation. Use wool. Cuts better and will be far less grabby.

    I use the 4 cordless on the boat in the marina parking lot at the beginning n end of season ; and when the boat is in the water in which both cases I have no “plug” for power so these cordless tool come in real handy . I have stacks of wool pads n Rupes coarse blue pads n some finishing pads (LC). And of course I use the cordless buffers on our 4 vehicles n family vehicles

    Yup, the first time using my cordless "finisher" was on my pal's blue hull boat on Lake Michigan. Standing in the water I buffed, he wiped. I regret not getting a picture.... next year!

    Re: Going Flex...!

    You will be happy with the Flex cordless. I love all of them.

    The PiXiE gets so much use. My favorite cordless polisher.

    The CBEAST and Cordless finishers are great additions to my Beast and rotary.

    I use the cordless whenever possible altho sometimes you just can’t beat the sheer power of the corded tools.

    I will say that Flex makes some great quality machines. None of my Flex tools has ever let me down.

    Expensive - Yes........ worth it - DEFINITELY!!!

    I've read all your posts re Flex before pulling the trigger.

    Next is pads....gonna need to wait a bit and use up the Rupes pads that I have.
