    Broke down and got a 7336sp from LOWE's

    I guess I'm weird in a way I make sure it's a straight up deal before I buy something and I have to sometimes see for myself before I purchase stuff also.



    Well went to lowes and got one heck of a deal on this machine $47, after I seen that I said how many do you have and they said plenty so I bought 2 more for the long haul and possibly to add to my helpers hands when I'm working the opposite side.

    Anyways I also won a 50 pad lot of 3M Finishing / Polishing Pads from Ebay (waffle style) I'm just going to be needing a 4" backing plate, because these pads are 5 1/4" velcro.

    Anyone got any links to the right size backing plate I should use?

    Thanks for any help

    you can use the 3 1/2 backing plate, not sure if a 4 inch exists for the PC.

    some of the 3m pads use hook it 2...meaning the velcro is reversed....so wait till you get the pads..you may need to get a 3M plate for it to work...

    Thats a great idea. I didn't think about from the other side of the fence. Preciate it.

    $47 is a fantastic price. Getting two was smart. The best I had seen was $109.
