WTB: 6" counter weight

I need a 6" counter weight for my PC. Anyone have one they want to sell, they seem too pricey online to order just a weight and not a ton of other stuff. Shipping just a weight from the online guys kills the deal.

Cheers,

Re: WTB: 6" counter weight

Have you REALLY found this to be true, or just a personal preference? I find that MANY times people mean well but they are just expressing a personal opinion rather than a DATA statement that is quantifiable (numbers).

I mean no disrepect for your statement above.

Re: WTB: 6" counter weight

The PC DA was made to be a wood sander and *adapted* to polishing paint. The counterweight is designed with the wood sanding backing plate and paper in mind. You will not likely notice any difference at all and find it not worth the money.

Re: WTB: 6" counter weight

Some people notice a difference (myself included) and other people don't. You won't know until you try.

But I'd rather you give the business to Patrick Link: Welcome to Exceldetail.com!

Re: WTB: 6" counter weight

Again, the cost of shipping this silly little weight is twice of the weights price.

That's the way things are. If you can not wait until your next big(ger) purchase to bundle it in you might want to find your local Porter Cable dealer / service shop and give them a call.
