Green Machine Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Just wondering if anyone has used both and the pros and cons of each?????? My main workhorse is a flex 3401 which I love so I want a smaller polisher for tight spots or just a quick spot correction. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kingsford Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Depends on what you want to do I guess... They are two different types of machines. The Flex PE8 is a Rotary and the Rupes Mini is a Dual Action Polisher. Personally I'd get the Rupes Mini as it would be easier to use.

0 Dylan@RUPES Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) ^ Correct - you're comparing rotary and dual action random orbital so not really apples to apples. Both great tools, but intended for different purposes and user skill sets. Another option is the BigFoot Nano with iBrid Technology. That would give you 2 orbital movements, plus rotary, and 2 pad size options. Edited August 6, 2016 by Dylan@RUPES Green Machine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda thought the flex was a rotary but wanted to here it from someone else. Just need a little guy with power for the cracks and crevices I can't get with the 3401.
