According to the Delta/Porter-Cable Customer Care line, the new ones are 4 amp but the agent couldn't tell me when they were first released.

Whether the UDM is 5% or 20% or even 50% stronger, I still find it hard to believe that it can destroy a pad that works fine with the older 7336/7424 ROBs. I could see it happening if it was 5X stronger or turned 10,000 RPM (circular polisher or grinder). Pads just aren't that flimsy.

Regardless of whether the pad will seperate or not, if the UDM is 20% stronger, it should break down polishes 20% faster, and be able to generate higher levels of heat meant for some products that are really for rotory use, which IMO is a great advantage for heavy marring. I've reached the limit for what the 7424/7336sp can do with even 4" pads. Its either the UDM or rotary at this point
