I purchased the UDM back in December of 2007 and it has died on me half through a detail. I had to finish using some old fashion elbow grease. Looking to replace it with the Porter Cable 7424 XP. What do you fellow s2kers think.

 

i like the pc... still using the same one that i started with - something like 10 years of trouble free use.

 

I've been reading the reviews of the PC 7424XP, Megs' G110 v2, and Griot's 6" ROP. The reviews for each have been overwhelmingly positive.

You might want to take a look at Kevin Brown's review of the G110v2 and Mike Phillip's brief comparative review (the G110v2 was not yet available when Mike did his review).

 

The PC7424XP seems nice. I dont have one yet, but want one. I have a PC but dont use it often, since I use rotary

 

Thanks, I for the other suggestions. I take a look at those.

 

I have many buffers including a few rotaries. I love my Flex Tool XC 3401 VR.

 

Just got my new Porter Cable 7424XP today. Can't wait to give it a try after the rain storm here in So Cal.

 

So how did you decide on that one out of curiousity?

 

Well it was all the feedback that I read about the reliability of Porter Cable it just made it all that easier.

 

my udm failed last year, i picked up the flex and havent looked back.
