TORQ10FX Random Orbital

I'm certainly no expert, but I'm pretty sure I said something to that effect a week ago... ;)

Interesting comments. Perhaps -- and I'm only guessing -- it has to do with return on investment. Changing a proven design to accommodate a slight increase in throw surely costs quite a bit of money. A 2 or 3 mm throw increase is truly tiny, to the point where differences in skill and technique likely have a bigger effect on the results than the extra tenth of an inch of throw might.

At SEMA I was routinely able to completely remove 2000 grit, dry-sanded scratches from cured paint using the RUPES compounds and pads (and lost performance by switching to other systems).

Out of curiosity:
What were the other systems that lost performance?
Thanks.

I prefer pepper.. but that is good advice :) After nearly 10 years on detailing related discussion forums I would recommend reading everything with a grain of salt.

That said, I was able to constantly able to remove 2000 grit, dry-sanded (film paper none-the-less) scratches from cured OEM paint using our system in front of plenty of witnesses and forum members. :xyxthumbs:

No offense was meant

BTW, I am confident YOU could pull 2000 grit scratches out of OEM paint with a wet spaghetti noodle.

I admire your talent

Thanks for the reviews… I contemplated this for a brief moment, but I'm still sticking to my guns, and going with the Rupes Bigfoot Duetto. Bigger throw at 12mm and I believe the build quality will be unmatched.
 
anyone got an update on their torq experience?? was thinking this or the new megs one. but then again megs. when they first released their g110 had problems then had a second version. i may have to wait to see what people say about their new one.

please do. if possible, can you post a video close up of it in action? speeds 1-6 with medium to heavy downward pressure so we can get an idea of how much torque it has. thanks...
 
that ^ i also want to know how the sound compares! i just don't want another GG where it has a high pitched whine ! lol!
 
I'll see what I can do fellas,I notice just turning it on and going through the speeds it is a lot quieter than my GG6 sounds a lot smoother

OH! ok.. looks like I'm going to sell my gg6 to get this! LOL! just being quieter is already better... i won't wake up my whole apartment complex LOL!
 
Alright, I have no videos today but I will soon. The torq is very comfortable to work with compared to the gg6, very very smooth and doesn't sound like a freight train. I honestly can say I thought I wouldn't like the on/off switch and + - buttons, but I'm a fan, it easy on and off, slow start is awesome. I put way more pressure than I would ever need on it and it just kept spinning not fast but never stopped! Id have to say it is a machine that you can work with and just relax it was designed to make a detailers life just a little easier. That is all for today. Ps used both mf and foam pad both had awesome correction and maneuvered beautifully ps it's really light and skinny easy to get in some tighter areas.
