The vector was sold by PAC for awile, I have had very good luck with mine, does everything the high dollar ones do and for less than a 100 bucks when I got mine.

Okay, Sweet Thanks for the input! It looks just like a makita without the handle bar and color scheme. Heads a little different 2

Do you think its a pretty good trade for two rotarys for a porter cable?

The Craftsman does not use the industry standard 5/8 threading. You can try to find a hook and loop backing plate for the threading, but I`m not sure they exist.
In all, I really would try to avoid the Craftsman rotary.

I would keep your porter cable and invest in a better rotory.

At the semi bodyshop I use to at for 4 years we had a vector rotary. It got used daily for 4-8 hours a day. We never had any problems with it except the cord coming out of the machine. But that`s b/c the guys would lower it by the cord when they were working on scaffolding buffing semis.

Well I have two porter cables, and I was going to sell the other on ebay for what ever I could get, because I can use only one at a time

After you learn how to use the rotary, it`s pretty much the only thing you`ll use.

Really? Even for applying wax and sealants?
