I just purchased a 7336sp at Lowes. It came with a small spacer. At the risk of sounding like a complete imbecile, is this spacer necessary with a 6" backing plate? I appreciate any comments/advice, and my compliments on a great site.

I don't know what your talking about. the lowe's PC comes with the machine, a pad in a sealed plastic baggy, a black non-velcro backing plate, a thin wrench looking tool, and some instructions. I dont think that there's anything else... got a picture by chance?

To the OP, I lost my spacer a long time ago, and have used many different backing plates without it. I've never experienced any detrimental effects because of it. | |

you haven't needed it, I probably won't.
Thanks, guys. I'm going to leave the little so-and-so right where it is.

It is necessary if your backing plate has larger rivets holding the pieces together as the rivets, etc. may be too tall and hit the internals of the PC. Without going outside, I seem to remember this being necessary with the sanding plate that comes with the 7336. Try putting that one on with & without the spacer. You should then see if/when it is necessary to use it. | |
