Vibrating PC!!!!!

When I turn my PC 7424 uo to 6 it gets hard to hold onto. I have the counterwieght for the 6in backing plate. Is it normal to vibrate alot at this speed? Am I just a big pus or what??

big pus !!

Wait till your hands start to inch from all that power. Once you get use to it, like me, you will probably decide to no longer use the black side handle. Real men can hold a powerful tool in one hand ... yeah , yeah ... it is suppose to shake and vibrate.

You can wear a biking glove on one or goth hands to kill some of the vibe.

Yup, big wus . I don't use the handle, just hold the back with my hand which actually makes it easier to control anyway. But I also have Edge 2K pads, PC w/ no handle + Edge 2K pads = smooth operator , I still get the itches though hehe. Mine came with the 6" counter weight (Lowes 7336) which from what others said vibrates less then the 7424 and it's 5" weight.

I know it is easier to control but does it make it vibrate less? Maybe I'll take off that stupid handle.
