Someone needs to go to the Flex factory in Germany and ask them why they made the Flex 3401-VRG spin counter-clockwise and put an end to this madness..
And I have had one from when they first came out, a long, long, time, ago, and I never even wondered why, except to think, "Well, that is just how a company that grinds huge stones for a living, does it"....
And as far as it making a difference, I don`t know what it would be either..
If its counter-clockwise, the machine will want to go left, clockwise, the machine will want to go right..
I bought it to see what all the hoopla was about and shortly after, retired it early.. The only mod I did was get the 5" backing plate.. Heck, we were cutting down the 6" plates right out of the box to get the 5" size, before Flex ever came out with the factory plate..
6" plates and pads are just too much to deal with unless Im doing something big and flat like Vans, or worse, Airplanes..
It only comes out if someone wants a liquid wax, sealant, etc., or something and I am in a hurry to get it applied down, and then throw the pad away...
