Just a different handle and a rotary instead of DA. Woudl probably be very similar in weight too. I do have their LK 302 rotary which is a bit bigger and has RPMs from 800 - 2000, but haven't busted it out yet. I ordered the Edge adapter for it, but have not seen if it fits yet. Also, ordered the Flex BP for it which is hook and loop.
If the spindle is 5/8-11 the adapter will fit perfect! then you can change to any size pad without having a backing plate. That said, it does look like 6 inch size is best reccommended for this machine. Just to note that we also make the adapter for 14mm for Europe, 16mm for Asia, and have a DA 5/16 male adatper for random orbit machines like the PC, Cyclo, and UDM, a special Makita B06040 adapter, and soon to be released a conversion kit for the new Flex forced rotation DA as seen here.
