Review-FLEX XC 3401 Dual Action Orbital Polisher

[feds27]

Nice review Corey.

Did you happen to test the Griots and Flex head to head on a panel needing correction? It would be nice to see the panel comparisons, the amount of time each took to correct the panel, and the amount of force applied for each. My guess is the Flex will provide more correction in less time and with less force (when using the same pad/polish combination as the Griots). I'm not sure if this would mean one could go with a less aggressive pad/polish combo when using a Flex than when using a DA?

Edit: I just saw you compared speed in post #11 of this thread.

Thank you,

I didn't get to try them immediately next to each other on the same panel because the Griots broke down 2 hous into its very first use which was what prompted me to find a higher quality machine.
