Anyone tried the "orange pad" ... ?

 

I already had the PC 7424 sander. I ordered the velcro attachment thingy from Griots and went with their pads and have been very happy with the combination.

I don't remember what they charged for the velcro pad attachment, but I'm sure if you e-mail them they would tell you - it isn't listed online. That way if you can get a better deal on the PC at some other online retailer you can go that route and just get the part you need.

 

thats how i do it!!
you will use more product cause the pad soaks some...
but it applies more evenly and removes very nicely-

 

The 7336 is $109 at Lowes, and even cheaper if you can find a 10% off coupon.

 

I'm lost

is the 7336 better than the 7424? and why?

 

7336 and 7336sp already come with the 6" counterweight. This is preferred over the 5" for vibration.

Very highly recommended reading http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.p...&threadid=14421

 

sorry Ubetit - what is a 6" counterweight and 5" counterweight and what do they do?

Totally new to PC's

 

The counterweight acts as a flywheel and counterbalance to keep the machine from vibrating too much. The 6" is a bit heavier so it works better with the 6" backing plate and pads.

 

Correction, that was $109 for a 7336sp, which is basically a 7336 that also includes a polishing attachment.
