Flex 3401 Vibration?

[ARizzle]

Hey guys, so I am a proud owner of a Flex 3401, but there have been some things that I found odd?

1) What speed do you owners do for compounding? Coming from a PC, I always used speed 5, but speed 5 on the Flex feels faster and more uncontrollable

2) Because I use speed 5 on my Flex, the Flex seems to have a mind of its own, and most of the time I use it, I seem to be battling/counter-steering it in the direction I want it to go??

Any help would be great!

Thanks and enjoy Sunday

From my experience if you are having the unit pull . That is a great indication that it is not being held flat . you should not be fighting but guiding it.

Keep it flat..other then that, it sometimes will want to walk on you.

Hey Ron, you need a Rupes in your inventory of polishers.:xyxthumbs:

To those who are looking for it in that video, I recommend watching the whole thing, but where Mike specifically mentions the "walking effect", it is around 19min!
