Devil tuning.? Any thoughts

**Whitewater25** · 12-16-2016, 11:40 PM

I have seen videos of it but has anyone here done it or have any info on it? I've also seen pics of a Duetto 12 with a housing from either the 15 or 21. I would love to put that housing on my 75 if it would fit. I'm sure the Rupes folks advise against it but I'm curious.

I've heard some say they are great.

I almost bought their 3" BP but decided I'd rather have a dedicated machine instead.

What is the housing swap supposed to do?

I gives you that forward place to put hand on rather than the rounded housing the machine comes with. More of a comfort than performance thing

Thanks! I guess I could see the interest in that.

Looks wierd to me, prefer the oem Duetto/Transformer look.

Yes but I like to tinker with stuff. I may try it,I have a 21 & a 75 so I might try to swap them out & see how it works,if it works. I'm also curious about the aluminum backing plates.

Effectively defeats the purpose (on the mini specifically) of the design. If you notice the tool has almost no overhang, thats so you can work right up to the edges of surfaces that have a perpendicular surface in the way. Adding a handle would reduce reach into those corners by a few inches.
