    Any updates? Q1 2016 is right around the corner and I don`t know how much longer I can wait for this!!

    So if the nano is a rotary and a da, is it impractical to hope for a new larger version also so that with 2 tools you cover everything? Or does that add toouch weight to the larger machines?

    We`ve got some very talented and creative engineers, and a very extensive list of resources to make things happen - I`d never rule anything out.

    I attended Mobile Tech Expo, and was in one the classes Todd & Jason held on the tool. Once the Expo portion of the event opened on Friday, I could not wait to head to the Rupes booth to try it out! What a nice tool - well balanced, smooth running, and the air tool type trigger was comfortable to use (that type trigger was new to me). Quite a lot included in the kit too.
    I only tried it with one of the DA heads, but it was very comfortable to use, and the angle of the head made keeping contact to the surface easier.

    I thought there already was a machine that was switchable between rotary and DA operation?

    I believe it has an 8mm stroke, though

    Makita has one that switches between free spinning and forced rotation.. That`s the only one I know of.

    Saw a post on AGO about Nano pre-orders coming around soon. Is Autopia going to get their pre-orders around the same time? I couldn`t come to DF so I missed the good opportunity

    The kit comes with a few sanding rosettes. I see that Buffdaddy sells on some for the Rupes LD30, but not sure if they would fit the Nano.
