    Size of the GG3 VS. GG6 ?

    I can`t find any size or weight spec`s on the GG6 OR GG3. Does anyone have any info on this or a picture of them side by side?

    Thank you for any help.

    I`m no help, just subscribing. I will say the GG3 doesn`t get high marks `round these parts, which is too bad, because the GG6 is almost universally admired.
    I`m about to get me a Rupes mini, but for those that haven`t liked the GG3, what exactly is wrong with it?

    Re: Size of the GG3 VS. GG6 ?

    Just get a GG6 with the new Boss 3in BP and have a beast

    GG3 simply had no power
    Onlything that made it better correction wise was the new LC thin pros

    If you`re looking for a powerful mini then
    Rupes Mini
    Zentool Mini(if griot actually released a boss mini this would be it)
    GG6 with boss 3in backingplate(lots of rotation/power, but 8mm throw instead of 12mm)

    I don`t have any personal experience with the GG3, but from my research when I was debating one, the biggest complaint I recall was it being underpowered. I ended up going with a GG6 with a 3" backing plate which works well except in really tight areas. For my personal use, it works and I can get around the tight areas, but if I did any kind of decent volume I`d probably look at the Rupes mini and selling the GG6.
    Thanks WaxAddict, mikejames thanked for this post

    Yeah the GG3 doesn`t get high marks, under powered is what I heard. Just wanting to compare the size of both machines or even the Rupes mini size to the GG6 size.

    Here`s a photo I just took of both my GG3 and GG6 side by side with tape rulers for measurements:



    hope that helps?

    Re: Size of the GG3 VS. GG6 ?

    So between both those pics
    Looks like Rupes Mini and GG6 may be same size
    I think the PC may be more closer to the GG3 in size vs the GG6

    So if you`re looking for a compromise
    PC with Boss 3in BP

    Well one thing the GG3 has - lifetime warranty. I`ve used my GG6 warranty once - great service. How about the mini?

    They replaced my first one (which died after a few minutes) but said the (single) replacement was all I was gonna get. OK, that was the older version and maybe the new one is better..but still it was a complete waste of money.

    Their 3 *pneumatic* is much more powerful and is OK, but if it were All That I wouldn`t be considering a Rupes Mini
