None, physically. The 7336SP is marketed as a sander, the 7424 as a polisher. The only difference is that the 7424 comes with a 5oz counter weight and the 7336 comes with a 6oz.

Here's a link for explanation.

Same here! Just bought it today:

I bought all my Lake Country Pads here:

I already have Poorboy's SSR 2.5 and 1.0. I might try Zaino Z-PC, when I need to order some more sealant from them.

Wow! I think I bought the last one in S. Florida. I finally found it in the 4th store! I tried to use the Home Depot 20% coupon but they would only give me 10%. Oh well, it only cost me $103 (including tax...plus $20 in gas!!!)

I went to the 2 stores nearest me and they were all out. So the next morning, I called the 3rd store and the guy told me he had one. So I jumped in the car and drioe there. He gave me the box and the PC in there was all abused. I showed it to him and I was so desperate I was going to take it if it worked and he gave me a discount. The guy hooked it up and the damn thing didn't work!

In one last desperate attempt, I asked him to check other stores. As luck would have it, the store down the road had one. Success!

The guy at the 3rd store said that as soon as they get some in, they fly out. Are people actually buying these for woodworking or are there that many OCD nuts out there?
