Closed Loops (New design)

For OMs I didn't find the smaller version to work that well. The drum was magnetically driven and as a result would get stuck often from something as simple as couple grains of sand. It required frequent cleaning to keep it operational. Now the larger 4 way has a direct shaft driven drum which seems to keep going no matter what. For these reasons I would personally only go with a shaft driven OM, not magnetic.

SCWD's are just as bad...if not worse. At least the OM products can be disassembled to clean, only the 1" SCWD can be.

The 4 Ways are optional

From the OM site

Note: Mag Drive Upgrade - This option is for customers who already have an original version 4 Way and wish to upgrade to the new magnetically driven version.

The original ones were Shaft. If you buy one now, It's Mag. Thats why it says Original OM-4 owners upgrade.

Well that's a shame, it was a really good product but I wouldn't do the magnetic.

They have been magnetic for the last 5 years.
