Enough said.............
But $47.00 is a steal. I thought I had a good deal at $59.00, so I bought 3!

Basically the same machine with the exception of the CW, 7336 has a 6" CW sx. %" for the 7424. Other than that, they're identical.

I spent like an hour today calling all the Lowes that are anywhere remotely close to me and the ones that have them in stock are all for $106-$109

Same here.

so whats the difference between the 7424 and the 7336, both use hte same pads?

exceldetail

Identical machines with the exception of the counterweight (Which excentuates the wobble (randomness) on the Random orbital).
The 7424 has a #5 CW, and the 7336 has the #6. Match counterweighst with backing plates and you should be good to go.

counterweight needed for a 5" backplate and 7" pad? a counterweight needed? whats the best setup for the 7336?

Hawhyen51

For a 5" BP, it's recommended to use a #5 CW and you can use up to a 7" pad. Personally, the largest pad I'll use with a 5" BP is a 6.5" pad. My 7336 is setup with a 6" BP, 6.5" erasure pad and a #6 CW.
