    I own flex 3401, pe14
    Also makita 9227c
    Pe 14 is significantly lighter than the makita and has low rpm setting 600. Allot of machines don't go that low.
    And its never happened to me but apparently the pe14 motors overheat

    The or 14 is my top contender because of the weight and low rpm possibility

    I used MajinAl's Rotary. At the SoCal Meet up.

    It was a very nice/lightweight tool. With plenty of power. My Rotary weighs a ton and the lowest speed is 1,000 Rpm.

    I make my buff master work however

    bought a pe14 a couple of weeks back, and I love it! light, quiet, easy to handle. It's not cheap, but you will get a lot of bang for your money.
