Porter Cable 7424

er, AFAIK po, yung kay MomsPh dati e, unit lang po yun. But then, if he threw in a couple of freebies to those of you who bought from him, e di swerte nyo.

110V din po yung galing sa kanya, so be prepared with your transformers.

... so be prepared with your transformers.

I agree.

Sir Newbie lang po sa polishing.

ask ko lang sana kung ok na po ba yung Black and Decker KP600 as for practice. Gusto ko kasi matuto ng car detailing. Ok na po ba siya pang polish kumpara sa rotary na polisher na nakikita ko.

Saan po ba magandang bumili ng mga wax at pads. Advice naman po. thanks.

I think the KP600 is okay for practicing. But it may not be practical in the long run. The KP600 is meant to be just for wax application and removal. With a little patience, you may be able to extend its use for minor defect removal, but that's about it. Give or take a couple of months, your practice will be done. Then you'll want to graduate to a more powerful Dual Action Polisher (or if you're brave enough, a Rotary Polisher)... sayang lang ginastos mo sa KP600.

Oh, since you're talking about PADS -- the KP600 does not accept pads. It only accepts bonnets. However, if you're really committed to the KP600, you may modify the back plate by attaching velcro tape. This will allow you to attach 6" pads to your KP600. But again, at best, you will only be able to do minor defect removal with this setup.

You can buy pads from HANS TOOLS at Shangri-La mall.

Wax -- Blade, True Value, ACE.

hey guys can someone pm me as to where i can buy porter cable? hehe thanks

[japong]

ess: thank you sa advise sir.. hanap na lang ako ng dual polish o rotary. ok sana Makita rotary polisher kaso ang mahal. Meron Black and Decker mas mura. Mag-iipon pa ng konti para sa rotary.

madkatz: di ko alam sir pero try mo online ordering or if you have a kamag-anak sa abroad..

Sir ok yan for practice and light to medium swirl removal. Yan din gamit ko with Yellow LC cutting pad at m80 & m83 pang tanggal ng swirls. Mas matagal nga lang yung pag buffing time compared sa mga variable speed pero effective naman.

*Jmpet626: so far i haven't found any other store selling rotary buffers locally and so i guess kp600 is the closest match for a ROP compared to 7424xp thats why im getting my 7424xp from the US, why not try the wp1300 cheap BnD buffer and fit it with a specialized backing plate for BnD? i got mine for just a total of 4300 bucks and started practicing on used paint panels sold at a local impound near my place. each panels costs around 150 to 300 bucks only and so far im liking my results

mga paps, how much yung transformer na kelangan dito...

[jmpet626]

1000watts gamit ko na transformer nasa 1.5k

[indiej]

porter cable 7424xp dual action polisher 120V 4.5A

paki check na lang kung ilan ang capacity ng transformer sa 110V. ang automatic voltage regulator kasi merong 110V din ngunit ang capacity na nakastamp ay para yata sa 220V. step down transformer 110V capacity 1000 watts 'kamo. 9A yan.
pero ang basehan mo talaga ay 650 watts 110V/6A pataas.

pinakabagay kung ang step down mo ay 120V. sa ganito 650 watts 120V/5.5A pataas.

mga tsikoteer na electrician, paki tama na lamang kung mali. dinagdagan ko kasi ng 20% capacity.

[iansze]

Sir, don't use the AVR, mas ok kung step down transformer ang gamitin mo, 1000Watts is sufficient. If PC 7424xp, is rated 4.5A, lalabas eh 540Watts, then u have to give at least 150% para sa frequent on-off nang polisher, malakas yun amps. needed for starting.

hindi pala puwede ang AVR, porter cable xp sa akin. dapat palang bumili ako ng step down transformer

[jmpet626]

Sana mag release ng 220v yung porter cable

[Ginnova]

specially made for US market kasi ang porter cable kaya 110.

there are a few people who sell them in sulit and other forums, the local distributor of mothers is selling it as well, +632 7445875, we're also accepting pre-order for the unit but ours it just the unit so you might be better getting it from Mothers distributor
