Default Where to get the Porter Cable ???

Wheres the best place to get it from, as far as being the cheapest

I saw that autogeek has it for like 172 bucks. Does anyone else have it for less ???

Im talking about the 7424 just in case. Or should I go with soemthing else ?? I never used one and im a newbie so take that into consideration


Thanks!!!

You can typically find the PC7336 at Lowes for $99. You would then want a 5" flexible backing plate and an assortment of 6.5" foam pads.

Autodetailingsolutions carries a nice startup kit with the Meg's G100, for around $150 or so, and up, they have several kits ..

doesn't look to me like the sponsor here, Brilex Solutions, carries any type of PC.. but I could be wrong .. might be a good first place to look ..

the 7424 and 7336 models are the exact same machine but the 7336 starts life as a grinder so all you do is remove the grinder attachment thing and put a 5" flexible backing plate on and you have a 7424 model. correct me if im wrong?

The only difference between the 7242 and 7336 is the counter-weight. Either one works perfectly fine.
