Porter Cable 7424XP

[malibuboats91]

I received a coupon from this site and am planning on ordering the porter cable 7424xp. This question has probably been asked many times but before my coupon runs out I need to know what pads I should order for it as a good startup kit?

I do not have near the experience that some others have but if it were me I would get the Lake Country CCS 5.5" I would get 2 orange, 2 white, and 2 grey/black.

Yep I am planning in getting the CCS pads but do not know what colors. Doi need the cleaner and conditioner like sold in the packs on this site?

I really like the Pinnacle pad conditioner and cleaner that comes in spray bottles. It is Buy One Get One Free right now too.

Lake Country 5.5" FLAT pads.

AGREED!

What size is your backing plate?

If you have a 5" backing plate go with the 5.5" flat pads
These are a good choice to get you started via KBM.

If you have a 6" backing you may wish to try LC-FLAT-CUSTOM (http://www.autogeek.net/vcpad-6pack.html)

Okay sounds good! Thanks so much for the quick replies! Are the pinnacle cleaner and conditioner buy one get one free right now? I didn't see that but I could get both for $20. If I buy the PC will it come with the baking plate that the pads will hook onto?

No, the PC doesn't come with a backing plate. Since you have to buy a BP, get the Griot's Garage DA. It's much better than the PCXP! The pinnacle pad cleaner is decent, but since it's one buy one get one free, go for it. You don't need the conditioner, just prime the pad with polish.

So that is better than the PC? Does that come with a backing plate? Does it use the same CCS pads?

It's way more powerful than the PCXP, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. It comes with a 6" backing plate, but you want a 5" BP so you can buy 5.5" pads. You can use ANY pads you want, but I'd recommend flat pads instead of CCS pads with a DA.

So if I get the griots I Will still need to get a different backing plate??

Why the flat pads? Why the Griot Garage DA? Im in the market for an orbital too and thought the PC was the best (since everywhere I see it is referenced). Do I really need more power?

Flat pads give u full surface contact, u need that with a DA. The Griots is way more powerful, plain and simple.

Would any backing plate work for it?
