    In summation......DO NOT use any pads greater than 5.5" on the PC7424. It needs small pads to operate at peak efficiency!
    Agreed.

    Pick up a 5" backing plate and the new thin Meguiar's pads. They work great on a porter cable. I just tested these pads on the PC 7424XP.

    Changing the weights is a waste of time IMO unless you are sanding wood. I have run bp's from 6" -3" without any problems on my old PC.

    Thanks for all the replies, once I build up my "Me Money" I'll restock my PC accessories.
