Wanted to say this is the best forum. I have the e-book, read it "cover-to-cover" I have bought all Zaino products, a PC and multiple pads from CMA. The 1 thing I need is a 6" counter weight for my 7424. I have done several searches and found coastaltools.com carries them. Problem that I have is that I really don't want to pay shipping for a $1.95 part. Does anyone know if Lowes carries them? There is a Lowes about 50 miles from here and I have some friends that live around one.



Thanks for your help in advance.
 
I bought it at Coastal Tool as well. You will be charged for $10 shipping on the internet. However, I got a personal e-mail from a representative over there indicating that since it was so small, they would charge me $4 for UPS shipping. I got it the following day.



You should get the e-mail like I did. If not, call them!



So, for $5.95, it ain't too bad.



(You should note that I had it delivered to NY City and they are in CT. You are rather far from CT, so it may be more - give it a shot!)

What do you guys mean when you say counter weight? I just throw a pad on mine and start buffing. Do I need something else?

inside the PC round thingy is a place to install the Counter weight.....all PC come with one.....



They have 2 sizes 5" and 6" which means that it is set up for what size head 5" or 6".............

jetta,



Welcome to the forum! A fellow Nebraskan, even . . . enjoying our weather swing from almost 90' on Wed. to sleet this morning? :rolleyes:



I checked out Porter Cable's website, and they show a couple of authorized service centers in Lincoln. If they don't have a counterweight on hand, they can probably order one up for you:



THE TOOL HOSPITAL

1720 ADAMS ST.

LINCOLN, NE 68521

402-435-2996



ROBIDOUX INC.

1234 SOUTH 9TH STREET

LINCOLN, NE 68502

402-435-7203



Here's the link on PC's website to search for service centers (in case you need to check in Omaha, too): http://www.portercable.com/index.asp?e=257

jetta_dls- Welcome to Autopia. I second TortoiseAWD's suggestion about finding a local PC service center. It's worth knowing where one is anyhow in case your PC needs work or you need something (that Lowes etc. doesn't stock) right away.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome.



I have been lurking for about 6 months and finally decided I had a question that I needed to ask.



TortoiseAWD - Great idea. I cannot believe that I didn't think of that. I had been trying to get the answer without bugging everyone. Yes this weather sucks! I just spent 4 hours on the exterior of the wife's van on Saturday. Clayed, SMR, Zanioed. She had the cleanest Odyssey in town! Nothing like claying a van! My Jetta takes about 25% of the time. It was the first time I had used the PC. Worked very well.
