Change your Counterweight, NOW!

With all the endless discussions about PC counterweights, I have to suggest that EVERYONE with a PC using ANY backing plate and 6" pads or larger, invest $1.99 and go get the 6" counterweight!!!!

It makes a world of difference in speeds over "4". There are now zero vibrations. If you disagree, you`re only out $2.

You can get them locally at any authorized Porter Cable service center, (they may have to order it- it will take 1 week), so no need to order online.

It is the best investment I`ve made since the PC itself. I worry a little now about the damage I may have done to the bearings by using the old counterweight at high speeds. :-(

Good tip. When I purchased my PC it came with the 5" cw installed and the 6" cw jn the box. I installed the 6" cw before I ever turned the thing on and that is how it has stayed.

When I bought mine, it came with the `bonus package` including the 6" velcro backing pad and 6" counter weight. I put the 6" on without a second thought.
