How hot does your PC 7424 get?

No, the PC uses sealed bearings. No need for lubricant. The PC barely gets warm, as long as there is no binding. The spacer solved the problem in the original post.

I would definitely check on that with A.G.

Havent read the entire post. But if your PC is over heating then make sure your pads are secured and centered.

I just started using the PC. I found that it was getting too hot to hold and bogging down. When I found this thread I tried adding the spacer. It made a HUGE difference. Now I see why people use this machine. Thanks for the advice!!

Never had a problem with it till today. I use the edge system and went to change pads and burnt the crap out of my finger on that little release button. It was also 96 degrees outside maybe that had a little to do with it.

It's good to have a swift solution right there bro. But tell me, does the lubricant inside these machines last for years if you use them every day? I might be overzealous but to me it's like changing oil on the car to clean out the house and put in new lubricant. Just my 0.02.

it is using "sealed" bearing.... you cant relube them... they are lubed at the factory and they then place a cover over the bearings housing... no way to put lub in ......

sure glad i read this forum before complaining, got my pc 7424, couldn't wait! then started on my nova. so dissapointed. put the machine on the car and it stopped. got very warm. put it all back in the packing, paid this much and can't use it!then came in and started checking the forum. felt like a fool, but was happy i checked it out.found out about little gray spacer,( which in my opinion should be attached at the factory because of idiots like me who don't read directions), went out, found it in the trash, put it on, works like a charm. thanks guys!!!
