7424 or the 7336?

[Egleone6]

I had my sights set on the 7424, but heard the 7336 has a bigger counterweight. Here is an Auction for a 7336. Would this be worth it?

Neither get the UDM or get a rotary. There is absolutely no reason to get a PC when you can get the UDM with 20% more power.

Can the PC or the UDM be turned into a rotary? Can the counterweight be removed?

yes they are the same, (most on here use the 7336)



if you can get it @ a good price , go for it if not look into the UDM

For a used one? What would be the top price?

The counterweight can be removed and you can put a different one on, although from what I've heard it doesn't really make all that much of a difference.



I've never heard of anyone turning the PC/UDM into a rotary, although the opposite can be done (rotary with Dynabrade attachment). There are also power tools that operate in both DA and "forced-rotary" mode.

get the UDM (plus your're buying it new, so it's piece of mind), you'll be happy in the long run... Car Polisher, Auto Buffer - The Ultimate Detailing Machine
