Redfireshaker06 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill-V8V Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 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. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Bill-V8V Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 good pun! I almost said " until the extra vibration from a smaller counter weight causes it to vibrate out of control" :lolsmack::lolsmack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Loud Pedal Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The vibration difference is very minimal but I would recommend the 6" weight just because Porter Cable recommends a larger weight with larger pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yeah Adam says no biggie! He uses the stock weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Correct, after testing the results were the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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
