makita makita makita can't get any thing better 1000rpm to 6000rpm rang i love it

After seeing this tread, I bought the Flex XC3401 random orbital kit a few weeks ago. Did my boat last week. Man I sure like this buffer. Wish I would have had it years ago.

Just wanted to keep you guys posted.
Dewalt just came out with a brand new model
DWP849X-7 inch 9 Inch variable speed, with soft start.
Weight 7 pounds with wool ingestion shields.
Looks really nice Amazon has them.
Looks like they copied the Makita.

Use Makita rotary polisher
 

I won a Makita 9227 C on e bay for 125 dollars.
Ran but had no variable speed control, and that is why I acquierd it. I e mailed the guy and he gave me full credit for the machine. Said not worth my aggrivation or his to ship it around. I tossed on new brushes, speed control, cord, and switch, WHAT A NICE MACHINE.

Milwaukee mine is 1979 Vintage and has buffed many boats as my brother used it for his boat detailing business for years before giving it back to me.

I'll second that! Spent close to 20 hours this weekend with a DeWalt, yellow will hold up! Question is can you? I need a lighter unit, too old and too tired to manhandle the beast anymore. The Flex lightweight is looking like a real bargain!

Dave,

So, did you order the new Flex rotary? If you did, how do you like it? I bought the Flex 3401 instead (since I do most of my detailing on cars, not boats) and it's very nice.

I think I should get myself the new Flex PE14-2-150 for father's day and toss it on the wife's credit card !
I MAKE JOKE!!!!!
