Re: Sound comparison (video) - Flex 3403 vs. Makita 7227

I was concerned about the minimum speed setting being just over 1k rpm. The RPMs do drop off pretty fast with any weight on the pad at all, though. You can definitely tell that it has a smaller motor in it. A little pressure = much greater drop in rpms compared to the other buffers I've used. Not complaining at all.. just a difference. The feathering trigger also makes it nice for speeds at less than 1k when you want mimimum pad pressure.

I'm using 1Z Hochglanz today since my ultrafina hasn't arrived yet, and it really likes the slower rpms. So far, no problem using it with the 3403. It really is quite a nice polish.
