Didn't know there were 2 generations. I know the 3" Griot has a second generation. When did generation 2 come out?

Hi there yes came out a few years ago. The 6" now shape alittle different but has a lor more amps. There was a change in orbit size to give it a little more ummph. The 3 " has a different shape too make it more ergonamic I have that one now works great

Sorry, accidently pressed button sent too early. I have the earlier version of the 6" Griots orbital works great but gota chance to try the newer ver definitely has more ummph but I bought a Flex that I use mostly unless job needs then I bust out my Makita.

I don't think anyone made an official announcment, but yes, there is a difference between the ones being produced now -vs- the ones made 2 years ago :buffing:
I wasn't aware the amperage or orbit size had changed? Are you talking about the 3" or the 6"? :buffing:
I haven't noticed in any change in design (appearence) one thing I have noticed is it's alot quieter :buffing:
Thanks for everyones imput

If I remember correctly, the original Griot's didn't have a removable backing plate.

Thx for posting the pic a second time. I must admit I didn't look the first time
Did you remove the housing, or did it come like that?

IDK. Thats what I'm trying to get answers to
The one complaint I have about Griots products, is that their techline blows. Unless its on a script they can read, they can't tell you anything. I would be willing to bet $50 they've never even used the machine
That is how it came
My understanding is there is only two versions.
The new one has more power before cutting out so you have better correction. The old one almost too safe.
