Porter Cable 7336sp

[kboxer]

Is it the same as the 7424 and g100. Also I am still tossing around switching to one of these from the rotary, at least for when I am not compounding.

I am still confused as to the whole dual action movement?

So it still makes a full rotation as well as oscillates or you have your choice of one or the other.

I also think I will need new pads because I have 8 inch so I may be better off with a package deal from ADS. For 210 you get a nice package.

yes, 7336sp is the same.

[kboxer]

In the lowes ad they say it comes with backing plate. It is the velcro one for the pads?

[matt colvin]

no, it is for sand paper

I bought the 7336sp from Lowes for $109, btw

[kboxer]

Thanks. I am probably better off getting the 7424 then waiting while I order the backing plates. I still love my dewalt though. It seems I have to order it though. anyone know what bigger chain stocks it.

So the Porter Cable 7424 & 7336sp are the product as Meguiars G100 ?

[Mikeyc]

Yes, the 7424, 7336SP, and G100 are the same machine. The only major difference is that the G100 has a lifetime warranty. I'm not sure what the warranty on the other machines is, but it's likely 30 days or 1 year.

Would lowes stock the backing plate or any detail shop should have it?

Read the second post in this thread: which polisher ?

Here is my .02 from an owner of a 7424.... I would recommend the G100A, if you shop around you can find very good prices on them and may not cost much more than the 7424 once you have purchased the backing plate and pads. Like mentioned above you get the lifetime warranty with the G100A and you get the proper backing plate and pads, again shop around for the best 'value'.

Anybody know where I can get a G-100 in Canada for a decent price? I asked my local paint shop/ Meguiar's supplier and he says $275.00 +backing plate+pads. Also he says( as did the x-Mequiar's rep that happend to be there) that G80/82 or a US product only! I find this hard to believe and I don't think that was a great price on the polisher. Am I right or?????
Thanks for the help.

I was quoted 320$ for just the g100 at Napa,
so I went over to a local hardware store and
was given 185 + tax = $206
for a Porter Cable 7424.

No lifetime warranty but then again,
it's for personal use only

good luck.

How long did ADS shipping take?

[Mister B]

Shipping from ADS to PA takes about 5 working days.

Well I made up my mind that I will be getting one. Havent decided if I want the g100 or to go to Lowes and get the 7336. Most of my local paint shops sell Megs pads, plus the backing plate. Ay standard 5/16 should for? I have some private work lined up for my days off ao it looks like I may be taking a Lowes trip.

One concern is that my pops told me being that Lowes does mass production a lot of their tools are half assed quality(hope I can say that) because they are made for Lowes with different materials to get those prices. My pops has 100k in snap on and craftsman so he is a tool guru.

[gb387]

I don't think Lowes lowers the quality or the features on this particular tool... Yes it is true many retailers have a change or two made to a product that might help reduce cost but in all the cases I have seen they change the model number. In the case of the PC 7336 its Porter Cables standard model number.
