stupid question what does a Porter Cable 7424 counterweight look like? was it attached to the PC from the factory? and does anyone konw where I can get one for my 6" velcro backing plate? I suspect I may have been using it without the counterweight (possible?)

Nah, it`s not a stupid Q and nah, yours didn`t come without one.
The weight looks like a silver metal half-circle, like a section of a small orange (sorry, crappy analogy but it`s all I can think of at the moment :o ). It`s located behind the backing plate and is held on by two screws.
Take off the backing plate with the supplied wrench (wrench holds spindle, stopping it from turning- turn plate to unscrew it) and look for the silver metalic crescent-shaped thing. It`ll probably say something like "use with 5" plates only".
The 6" weight is pn 399933 and only costs a few bucks from PC (888) 848-5175.

if you check the store at www.exceldetail.com, I think he has pics of them if you`re still not sure what you`re looking at.
