    Hot Flex?

    Just that your answers are pretty basic and seem to approach the issue like I am brand new to this. For example - the Flex heats up. Um, yeah. I know. That's why I am trying to get answers. Answers a little more in depth than "deal with it." If you've never had an issue with it, great. I...

    Hot Flex?

    I'm just a little concerned I guess. I have been around power tools most of my life, and nothing has ever gotten as hot as this Flex gets. I'll break out the oil next go 'round with it and see if it helps.

    Hot Flex?

    I'm not saying it would hurt anything - I am trying to determine if there is a possible issue with a machine I paid $300 for. Most likely, I will try putting some oil on there to see if it helps. Just as cross-reference, how hot does your Flex housing get when using it? Mine is uncomfortably...

    Hot Flex?

    Is this mentioned anywhere in the Flex manual? Just curious - I don't recall seeing it there, only on a couple of forums.

    Hot Flex?

    I would really like to hear from someone who knows (possibly someone at Autogeek) whether or not this is normal, and whether or not oiling the felt ring and/or gears in the housing helps to alleviate the heat.

    Hot Flex?

    I tried using a heavy gauge extension cord when using my Flex. I used it for around two hours, and while it might have ran a little bit cooler, the silver housing still got very warm to the touch. So warm, at times, that it was uncomfortable if touched.

    Hot Flex?

    Mine gets hot on the silver housing right above the backing plate. I have not noticed the backing plate touching the housing or the felt. It gets hotter than what I would think would be appropriate. I think I will try a larger gauge cord and see if that helps to ease the heat. Also, someone...

    Does your paint like your Flex?

    Someone mentioned that exact issue over at DC not too long ago. And I don't think M205 "breaks down." From what I have read about it, it is very dependent on the amount of pressure you use and with what pad you use it with.

    Collinite 845

    I'm casting another vote for the 845. I've been real impressed by it so far. It looks good on white, and it is very easy to use.
