OPM chart for PC-7424xp
The owners manual shows a range from 2500-6800 OPMs. Wonderful...that's about as helpful as the cold, wet weather we are having at the moment.
I'm curious as to why this information is so hard to find, given this model of polisher has been around for so long at this point in time. I'm sure somebody has a chart out there.
I think perhaps Megs thought they were providing adequate information when they posted recommended OPM speeds of 3800 and 4800 for their new D/A MF correction system. That's fine if you have a Megs polisher because their OPM speed charts are ready available.
I would suggest that AG provide additional OPM speed setting information in their description of these new Megs products ...as it applies to the Porter Cable 7424xp specifically (and Griot's/Megs) so that users of non-megs polishers don't have to spend so much time hunting down this information when our new MF DA products arrive.
Perhaps I should have persisted longer in hunting this information down, but after numerous searches, and a couple hours on several forums I've come up empty....
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

Ditto what he said. It would be nice to have a sticky.

Re: OPM chart for PC-7424xp
I do not know the exact settings for the newer 7424XP, but on the Porter Cable site I found these settings for the older PC7424 / Megs G100 polisher.
PC7424 / Megs G100 - OPM settings.
Speeds:
1-2500 OPMs
2-3200 OPMs
3-3900 OPMs
4-4600 OPMs
5-5300 OPMs
6-6000 OPMs

Re: OPM chart for PC-7424xp
This should be very close (I've seen a couple versions):
Griot: 1= 2500 OPM; 2= 3300; 3= 4200; 4= 5100; 5= 6000; 6= 6800
PC7424XP/G110v2: 1= 2500 OPM; 2= 3300; 3= 4000; 4= 4800;
5= 5800; 6= 6800

I wonder which settings are actually correct?
The speed settings that I got directly from Porter Cables Website for the G100/PC7424 are quite different than what you found. Not saying whether the settings I found or the settings you found are correct as I have no way of knowing for sure.
G100/PC7424 Speeds:
1-2500 OPMs
2-3200 OPMs
3-3900 OPMs
4-4600 OPMs
5-5300 OPMs
6-6000 OPMs

Re: OPM chart for PC-7424xp
Thanks, I don't know for sure what IS 100% accurate.
I really was looking for the DA speed settings to use the DA MF system.
Megs recommends
4800 for DA MF cutting discs and DA Compound
3800 for DA MF finishing discs and DA Finishing wax
It appears a general "rule of thumb" would be
speed 4 for DA cutting discs and Compound
speed 3 for DA finishing disc and finishing wax

Re: OPM chart for PC-7424xp
I was curious about this so I called Porter Cable. The lady I spoke with told me that each dial setting increments the OPMs by approximately 860. She did emphasize that this is an approximation. So going by this we have:
1 -> 2500
2 -> 3360
3 -> 4220
4 -> 5080
5 -> 5940
6 -> 6800
This looks like it makes sense. If you take the difference between the high and low OPM values, divide that by the difference in the high and low settings, the resultant quotient is 860.
