Porter Cable Use and Advice

You could sew a small loop of fabric on the underarm of the shirt. It wouldn`t have to be much larger than the carabiner and wouldn`t be too obvious when wearing the shirt outside of detailing.

Yes you could, but the carabiner is something you could just leave connected to your PC with a zip tie and never need to worry about wearing any special detailing shirt.

Hi Jingerbinger;

Long time no see.

I love the article, but ....the moon analogy might be a tad bit difficult. The moon actually rotates just enough to keep its` same face looking at us all the time (you know "the dark side of the moon" analogy). To the observer, it appears to be stationary; not at all like our PC`s that flop all over the place.

I know - picky picky

Technically the moon is rotating, it`s just doing so at a rate that makes it appear stationary to those of us here on Earth (allegedly everyone on this forum). It`s like a tire that`s not burning out, it`s most certainly rotating, but from the perspective of the road it`s just moving around.

Yeah, it`s a rough analogy, but it kind of compares. The pad is spinning as it orbits similar to how the moon (or any planet orbing another planet or the sun) spins as it orbits. The effect is more of a jiggle, but in essense it is doing the same thing the moon does only at different speeds. If someone has a better analogy that makes more sense then I`ll gladly use it.
