7424 vs 7336?!

my local lowes out here has the 7336 for $109 and the 7424<--- (mailorder only) for $147

they have 2 7336 in stock..

what are the main differences of the two?!

what extra accessories do i need with both?

thanks:dunno :dunno

7336 has a 6" counterweight and usually comes from Lowes with a sanding pad and a buffing pad.
I have used the buffing pad that comes with the machine and it does a decent job.
They are basically the same machine.
In addition you will need more buffing pads.
I currently use Meguiars velcro system
You can purchase this from Premium Auto Care (link on DC home page) or Meguiars web site ... both places offer a start-up kit with the velcro backing plate and three pads.
A lot of people use Edge pads with great results.
I bought the 7336 at Lowes and am still really trying to decide on the best pads.

7336 6oz Have to buy a backing plate and accessories

7424 5oz www.meguiars.com / www.premium auto care.com sell a COMPLETE kit

Hi central...

Here is an excerpt from RoadFly.org

7336: Called a "sander" by Porter Cable, includes a 6" counterweight and 6" sanding pad, P/N 16000
7336SP: Sander/Polisher, includes plastic carrying case, 6" counterweight, 6" sanding pad, and 6" polishing pad, P/N 54745

7424: Called a "polisher" by Porter Cable, includes 5" counterweight and 6" polishing pad
7424SP: Similar to 7336SP, but uses a 5" counterweight and 5" sanding pad, P/N 13700


Regardless of which model you purchase, they all share the same "body", which includes:

3.7Amp motor (110v)
2500 - 6000 orbits per minute with variable speed control (level 1-6)
5/16" spindle diameter
Around 6lbs total weight
Adjustable side handle (can be mounted on the "left" or "right" side of buffer body)

The average street price for a 7336 is right around $125.

How many of you use the PC to apply wax? Or is this something you primarily do by hand?

I have recently have been applying UPP and NXT with the PC. I go over the tight areas by hand first then follow up with the PC. It seems like NXT especially works better if applied with the PC. With both products I get a more even thin application. I never thought I would be applying wax (sealant) with the PC but it works great.

5", 6.5" or 8"??

i found this here: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/MEG-W8000.html

what is the easiest size to work with?

thanks

i put polish and sealant on with pc and it looks good 5-6 works good
