Is it just me or does it sound different too? Sounds torquier. Almost like the difference between a base model Mercury Sable v.s. the Duratech Mercury Sable with the beefier 24V DOHC engine.

Im with you Vega. I noticed right away it sounded different.
subscribe I want to remember to watch this tonight.
Yup, I heard it too. I like the new deeper sound the MKII makes
Interesting.
Yep, I definitely want one. I noticed how they added the rubber piece on the back side of the polisher as well. Nice touch.

another polisher that every one will want

So if that`s a 7" pad. Won`t i reduce stalling if i use a 6"?
This is why i haven`t sold my 3401 quite yet.
Potentially, but you`ll also substantially increase vibration. A fact many overlook is that the pad on the BF system, more than any other system before it, acts as a counterweight. Its been shown before, run a RUPES in free air with no pad, note the vibration, then attach a properly weighted pad and do the same. Its virtually vibration free when mated with the correct weight pad. While we can`t say not to run a smaller pad, it really isn`t the intended design for optimal performance.
Would make more sense to simply go with a LHR15 if you find yourself needing a smaller pad. Personally the 15 is my favorite tool in the line anyways.

I guess when you were at the Adams event you showed Adams pads etc. whats your thoughts on that? Or how does that work? Does Rupes bark at you guys about something like that?
To be honest, not really sure where im going with this......
Its well documented that RUPES endorses the use of their pads for the BigFoot tools due to their part in balancing the tool. I knew this going into the project with Adam`s. RUPES foams didn`t necessarily align with AP compounds, so new pads had to be selected. Knowing that we contacted RUPES, asked for spec weights on their pads and did everything we could match weights and densities (the Adam`s pads are not just off the shelf LC pads). All that being said, I did my best on my final project with Adam`s, to honor the RUPES philosophy of matching pad weights to tools.... are they a perfect 1:1 for RUPES factory foams? No... but they`re the closest I`m aware of.
As far as demoing, Jason and I only gave a talk on the concepts of random orbital polishing and specifically efficiency and what the BigFoot line does that no other tools do. The actual paint correction demo was handled by Adam and his team.

Thanks for the reply Dylan. It makes sense now.
