PC 7424 and Flex XC3401. I`m old

[JustJesus]

...Still have my 80`s vintage metal case made-in-USA Rockwell, as well as a later plastic one from the Far East....

I keep eyeing all the newer long-throws available, so maybe things will change someday.

Bill

Bill, you sir, are old school Rockwell....first time I`ve heard that name in detailing industry.

I didn`t think I`d get a long throw machine myself....but "someday" came for me last week. Only time will tell if I decide to keep it.

I bought this about 1980 or so, when I was doing some weekend cash work.




They weren`t lyin` when they stamped "Heavy Duty" on the badge. This thing is 35 years old and can easily do another 35.


Rockwell, known as an aerospace company at the time, acquired Porter-Cable and manufactured the Rockwell-branded P-C power tools as well as their own additions. I dated a girl who worked there, so I outfitted my Dad with things like a drill press, sander, circular saw, router, as well as my buffer, all from the company store, long before we had big box or online tool outlets..
Eventually, they either sold off or spun off the P-C brand and the Rockwell name disappeared from the tool market.

I guess you could say this old relic is a cousin to the porter-Cable polishers we use today.

If I would have had the foresight to buy a Rockwell Angle Sander back then, I`d have the granddaddy of today`s PC7224, but D/A polishing was unheard of back in the 80`s.

[DrFrosty]

I`m a newbie so I`ve only got the portercable. I figure with a Miata there is no need for a more serious machine. Just trying to learn everything at the moment.

Thanks for the givewaway. Merry Christmas!
