Look what came today! NEW FLEX XFE 7 15mm Large Stroke Free Spinning Orbital Polisher


Thank you Bob Eichelberg and everyone at Flex in Germany!

I have a small collection of prototype tools from various tool manufactures one of being FLEX Tools. I spoke with Bob about a week ago and he said the new Flex XFE 7 was on it's way but I thought it was a production unit.

To my surprise it's one of the original prototypes! In fact it's number 00002
It will get a special home in my office next to my other Flex prototypes and of course I'll be using in too on special projects.

Check it out!

Nice collection. I am looking forward to this machine. I love the Flex line and already have a 3401, PE-8 and PE-14. I think this machine is next on the list.

Here's the write-up I wrote for the number #00001 prototype back in October, right before the tool debuted at SEMA


New Flex Tool XFE 7 - 15mm Long Stroke Free Spinning Orbital Polisher

I put the #00001 prototype though the paces with a Hemi powered 1069 Dodge Dart GT

I'm excited to get the production tools to test them out next.


Lots of pictures here by the way...

Any idea on a date this will be available for us mere mortals?

 

[Marc08EX]

That's very nice to have Mike! It's a great gift from Flex but I'm sure you also helped them out a lot too.

 

[Wendell Jarvis]

Ok Mike, that needs to be sent to me for further testing, you might get it back....lol

Thanks Dan...

I have really good relationships with everyone in the industry including Flex.

And I'm very proud to say they are a major sponsor of our TV show,

That is awesome! I'm getting my PE14 next week, the Kompakt got me hooked on rotary! I'll still have my HF and rupes da on hand!

Ooooo may be I can give a try out at detail fest I would clean the shop floor after words

 

[haris300]

Very cool! I already opted for an LHR15 Mark II but I might add one of these to my arsenal later down the road since I'm a polisher junky.

 

[FinishingTouchA]

I'm looking forward to seeing the production model. After using Rupes tools for years I found the XFE to vibrate a bit too much for my liking. Just my personal opinion.

now I am even more excited for March 2. Never used a Flex polisher or any of the long throw machines.

 

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

That's awesome Mike!

I can't wait to get my hands on these new tools.

 

[RPM_BR]

To simply put it, the best for the best, Mike.
I'll be waiting for the review side-by-side with the Rupes 15.
Best regards.
