Porter cable deal?
So, in my obsessed search for the best deal on a P.C. I've hit rock bottom.
Its hard to find a deal to top the deal at coastal tool but i tried.
I checked out amazon.com and they offer the 7424 for 119.99 but also offer a $30 discount on your first purchase on a newly opened credit card. This set up doesnt come with the backing plate and added the total comes out to be 107.99 including FREE SHIPPING.
my concern is the lack of the 6" counter weight and trying to purchase one separately. I also heard rumors before about amazons stuff being refurbished.
Dont know if its worth saving the 20$, I hate chasing the almighty dollar sometimes

Ordered mine thru amazon under a different deal, with no problems. Actually got a package with the sander accesories and a case. I'm using the 5" backing plate and counterweight with 6-6.5" pads with no problems. You can buy the 6" counterweight from CMA if you are buying pads or other stuff from them. Otherwise, the freight charge for the weight alone would be crazy.

Don't remember the model #, but it is the 5" sander version with the case and dust collection hood and hose. At that time there was $25 off of a $200 tool order and free shipping. Price wise, what you have sounds better anyway. Thought I might want to use it as a sander someday, and the 5" backing plate gives some "cushion" with the smaller (6") pads. Also 5" sanding disks seem to be easier to find.

You can get the 7336 at Lowes for $109 plus tax which comes out to $115 IIRC. Theyre the same thing except that the 7336 comes with the 6" counterweight and some sanding plates.
edit...here is the link

TIA for all your help

When you get a pad kit, itll come with its own velcro backing plate so you wont have any problems there. Also you can buy the 6" counterweight seperately if you want.

Yes, that's the one. I'm using the 5" backing plate and the 5" weight. Does't seem to be vibration problem, but I don't have anything to compare to. I like the extra room using 6" pads.

FNG and Macgirl
They both seem like really good deals, but the one from amazon still seems like you get a little more.
7335sp sander
5" backing plate
Case
Sanding attachments
additional 6" backing plate 17.99 (same as coastals)
Free shipping
Total 120.99
I hate to repeat a question but do you guys ever have a need for the 5" backing plate. I read somewhere the vibration is less with a 5" backing plate, 6"counterweight and 6.5 pads
Sorry to keep hassling everyone. Im just a newbee with this trying to cover all my bases.
Thanks again, you guys have been extremely helpful.
Just to confirm Steve
Is the 5" plate yours came with the hook and loop plate.
