That's probably why you don't have the spacer. It is for use with the PC backing pad. Seems like few others have this binding issue, so I'm willing to bet most aftermarket backing pads have enough offset built in.

This is my first post...Anyways this should be stickied because I just bought a PC from AG and I used it for a couple of minutes and got pissed because it just didn't seem to work right. It got hot and would bog down really easily. Then I read this post and decided to put the washer on and give it another try and the PC worked like a charm. I'm sure that there are plenty of people like me that have had this same problem. It also doesn't help that the washer is barely ever mentioned, but is such an integral part for the PC to function correctly.

Man, I beat my head against a wall forEVER on this one. Such a simple thing, too. Problem is - not all backplates need the washer. So someone will get on here and say "You don't need that spacer, mine works just fine without it" and the frustration will continue.

Stop worrying about the anemic PC and get a rotary from AG. Don't let the wimps scare you off. If you have ever used power tools, this is not that big a deal. In fact, the reason you are having trouble with the PC is because you are expecting it to work like a rotary, and so you have to dumb down to make the PC work. Like the no-cut scissors they had you use in kindergarten.

Man-up to a rotary.

Thanks for sharing your manhood with us, but
1) your post has absolutely nothing to do with the topic
2) I already have a rotary.

Just trying to incite the masses! Posts on other forums were intimidating about the rotary. I had one and didn't use it except for trouble spots. Now I am an evangelist.

Sorry if you took it wrong--didn't mean to offend you.

I love the rotary as much as anyone, but we just got done saying that this common, yet simply problem with the PC is left unsolved because of irrelevant advice.

Funny--there is another post in here about saving time with a rotary versus the Hand Massager (and lots of posts about pads), and you didn't get knotted up. Maybe we should take each other off our Buddies list, and call it a day. I now give you the courtesy of the last word--

I'm not a PC user (yet) but would it help to open the "house" and put it some new lubricant?
