OK, glad you quoted me in order to illustrate I was mistaken in my guess.

Re: Griots Random vs 7424xp
Back to the reason I started this whole thread .... I have figured it all out.
If you want to know which one of the pc 7424xp, new griots, Meg 110, cyclo or even the flex to get, you should find the time to attend Mike's detailing 101 class.
I got to try every one I wanted to try on either some test hoods or even on a student's Porsche. The class is a great way to spend a day, get your hands on the machines and get a ton of questions answered. Meghan was great in bringing out product and Mike made sure folks were not only educated in the 5 step process, but had a chance to do the "difficult" ones that are hard to replicate at home for most noobs/advanced noobs.
Don't know why the two bucket is best? Never clayed before? Don't want to drop $$$$$ on a polisher until you tried one? Don't know the difference between a wowo and wodwo product? This is the place!
I knew most of those things and simply wanted to get my hands on the polishers, which I did. However, I learned things about all of the steps.
All I can say is find the time to attend a class. AG is in beautiful Florida, do you really need an excuse to make a trip?
My two cents, btw, get the Griots if you are in that price range. Splurge on the flex if you can afford it!

PC
If the word clutch is a problem, what is the correct name?
Just mechanism?
I recently fielded our collective question about what the industry term might be for the 'mechanism':
My question to Porter-Cable: "What is the mechanism called that causes the polisher to stop rotation when excessive pressure is exerted upon it?
Some of us are having a discussion on an online auto detailing forum and I incorrectly referred to the mechanism as a 'clutch' (such as my drill has). I'd like to clarify this for the sake of accuracy.
Thanks."
Porter-Cable's reply: "Dear James, we believe the following information addresses your inquiry.
The pad itself may stop rotating temporarily with excessive pressure, because it is mounted into a free-floating Spindle Bearing Assembly. However the overall mechanism is fixed & therefore never stops orbiting when the machine is running, unless something is damaged or worn.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve you. If your question remains unresolved or if you require additional information please update this incident".
So there you have it. I guess our 'mechanism' is called a "free-floating Spindle Bearing Assembly"

Thanks for contacting the manufacture of the PC and getting their answer, sounds good to me.
Free Floating Spindle Bearing Assembly or FFSBA
