    7336 has a 6" counterweight and usually comes from Lowes with a sanding pad and a buffing pad.
    I have used the buffing pad that comes with the machine and it does a decent job.
    They are basically the same machine.
    In addition you will need more buffing pads.
    I currently use Meguiars velcro system
    You can purchase this from Premium Auto Care (link on DC home page) or Meguiars web site ... both places offer a start-up kit with the velcro backing plate and three pads.
    A lot of people use Edge pads with great results.
    I bought the 7336 at Lowes and am still really trying to decide on the best pads.

    Hi central...

    Here is an excerpt from RoadFly.org

    7336: Called a "sander" by Porter Cable, includes a 6" counterweight and 6" sanding pad, P/N 16000
    7336SP: Sander/Polisher, includes plastic carrying case, 6" counterweight, 6" sanding pad, and 6" polishing pad, P/N 54745

    7424: Called a "polisher" by Porter Cable, includes 5" counterweight and 6" polishing pad
    7424SP: Similar to 7336SP, but uses a 5" counterweight and 5" sanding pad, P/N 13700


    Regardless of which model you purchase, they all share the same "body", which includes:

    3.7Amp motor (110v)
    2500 - 6000 orbits per minute with variable speed control (level 1-6)
    5/16" spindle diameter
    Around 6lbs total weight
    Adjustable side handle (can be mounted on the "left" or "right" side of buffer body)

    The average street price for a 7336 is right around $125.

    How many of you use the PC to apply wax? Or is this something you primarily do by hand?

    I have recently have been applying UPP and NXT with the PC. I go over the tight areas by hand first then follow up with the PC. It seems like NXT especially works better if applied with the PC. With both products I get a more even thin application. I never thought I would be applying wax (sealant) with the PC but it works great.
