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.

Re: BigFoot goes NANO: The next REVOLUTION in polishing and detailing - The BigFoot Nano w iBrid Technology
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 :)
Re: BigFoot goes NANO: The next REVOLUTION in polishing and detailing - The BigFoot Nano w iBrid Technology
Hope so....
I have yet to see a staff member address any of the rupes nano threads related to arrival/pre order (im working OT for that bad boy as we speak)

They`ll be available before noon today on here in case you didn`t see the chatbox :D
Re: BigFoot goes NANO: The next REVOLUTION in polishing and detailing - The BigFoot Nano w iBrid Technology
It`s up and ready for pre sale. Now I can use my points and my gift certificates. Shoulda bought more...
Re: BigFoot goes NANO: The next REVOLUTION in polishing and detailing - The BigFoot Nano w iBrid Technology
Are there any sanding discs that`ll work with the nano?

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.

But can they spin a 1.5" pad?
