PC counter weight?

[Redfireshaker06]

Why do they make a 6" counter weight. If the pads are 7" and the backing plate is almost 6". Should a counter weight for the 6" pad be used? The PC comes w/ a counter weight for the 5" I believe

Hi Brandon

Don't take this wrong but this subject has been covered many times. To the point where we have to close threads on it when it spins out of control. The bottom line is it will make little to no difference at all when using a PC on paint. PM Adam, I think he might have a bunch left over from testing.

Good pun!

good pun!

 

I almost said " until the extra vibration from a smaller counter weight causes it to vibrate out of control"

The vibration difference is very minimal but I would recommend the 6" weight just because Porter Cable recommends a larger weight with larger pads.

Yeah Adam says no biggie! He uses the stock weight.

Correct, after testing the results were the same.
