Clockwise
EDIT: I made a mistake in my initial answer.
The backing plate and the pad in the gear driven mode spins counter clockwise.

Although, the Rupes Mille looks fantastic, this has a bit more appeal in that you can go back and forth with random and forced. I wonder if Makita will ever release a 6" backing plate?

Awesome! How about in random orbital mode? Did you use the MF pads in forced mode?

I don't know man... I could see having both. On at my house, and one at the shop/mobile.

True.
The Mille looks absolutely fantastic, too. Same orbit stroke and similar OPM in forced between the Mille and Makita, so I'll probably spring for the Makita since I can buy it way sooner..lol

Great write up, Mike. Thanks for the post.
The machine looks good, and sounds like it performs as well as it looks. Another great option for the masses.

What's the price tag? Or did I miss that?

i'm curious if in the free spinning mode if it bogs down very easily. if so, the forced rotatiom aspect alone may not be worth it the upgrade if one owns a flex 3401 already...

Hi Mike, great review!
I notice the unusual shape of the Makita backing plate. How did you find its interaction with standard, round pads?

Great write up Mike. That looks like a real winner, 2-n-1.
Just curious, how long did it take you to do the entire detail on the Duster?
