User questions & answers

Question:	Where do I purchase the vacuum cleaner hose adaptor
Answer:	The base for the plunge and 2hands are 6". But if you include the handles themselves then add another 6" for the plunge and 4" for the 2hands.
Question:	Can someone tell me what sandpaper i should buy for this please
Answer:	To my knowledge, it is only for DeWalt Routers.
Question:	where can I purchase a replacement plastic tip
Answer:	The maximum vertical movement of the plunge base 2.3" or 58.5mmThe plunge base is equipped with a special rod to adjust the vertical movement.I mentioned the vertical movement because this kind of movement allow you to make a deep cut.
Question:	What is the part number for replacement sandpaper
Answer:	From a review by Eric Mitchell.. Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2019 Verified Purchase As of 2019-04-10, the DW6182 still arrives loose in the box, along with a black vacuum fitting and no instructions. (BTW, those aren't instructions on the box and they are easily buried under shipping labels.) The instructions that come with the router also cover the plunge base but, if you no longer have them: 1) Remove the router motor from its current base and take off the height-adjustment ring. The latter is actually part of the base. 2) If the router motor won't quite fit into the plunge base collar, pry open the slot spanned by the black "Locking Lever" buckle. You may need to loosen the Locking Lever nut first. I used a small crowbar between the screw housings of the Locking Lever. A crowbar is thicker, wider and has duller edges than a screwdriver, so it's less apt to mar the screw housings. 3) Turn the motor so that its flat side (opposite the switch side) faces the thick black pillar. I had to turn mine slightly more to one side so a screw housing on the motor would clear the "Scale" pillar. 4) The motor should slide all the way down until it rests evenly on two ridges around the bottom perimeter of the collar. 5) From your other router base, detach the power cord that goes to the wall outlet. Attach it directly to the router motor while using the plunge base. 6) Adjust the Locking Lever nut if the lever doesn't clamp the motor firmly. 7) Use the centering tool that came with the router to align the base with the motor. So far, the base is working perfectly. The flat side on the bottom (instead of a full circle) is especially helpful to me. Ironically, I'm using it to build a stand for my new CNC router, which could have finished this job in about 10 minutes.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use it to compound and polish my car like a dual action polisher
Answer:	Yes is velcro and work perfectly
Question:	Would this be the right sander/polisher for multi-tasking; polishing or compounding car, removing paint or finish & sanding on wood or car body part
Answer:	BLACKFIRE Advanced Pad Cleaner & Restorer is a concentrated citrus-based degreaser that breaks up and releases stubborn compound and polish residue from buffing pads.
Question:	does it use sticky sandpaper or hook and loop
Answer:	Other pads are better suited for that job. I use Chemical Guys pads with Meguiar's Ultra-Cut Compound 105 on the Porter Cable 7424XP Random Orbit Polisher and the micro-scratches come right out. In my experience, that's a better combination (of compound and pads) than using this type of pad.
Question:	What is the difference between this porter cable 7346spr and the porter cable 7424xp
Answer:	The polishing action is very gentle and leaves no swirls or marks on my car's paint but I would talk to a granite sales person about this just to be safe.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with the 1.5A 20v battery? If so how long
Answer:	Yes, our 20V batteries and chargers are interchangeable within our 20V product line. We do not offer an exact run-time as this would depend on many different variables as well as other environmental factors.
Question:	where can I get the battery and charger? What do I buy
Answer:	Lowes normally has a deal for 20V Max drill and impact driver with 2 batteries and charger for $100 good way to start a cordless PC set....
Question:	Which battery exactly do i purchase for this? i don't know anything about it
Answer:	While they are interchangeable, the "standard" 2Ah battery will only last 10-15 minutes of constant use (in my experience). I would recommend the 4,5, or off brand 6. Or corded for bigger jobs.
Question:	can this device be equipped with polishing and buffing accessories
Answer:	Yes. They are available through Amazon.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this polisher come with a counter weight
Answer:	Yes
Question:	What is the smallest/largest pads you could use with this
Answer:	For what it comes with, a 6" pad. You could also install either a 5" backing plate or possibly a 3" plate as well and use the appropriate pads (3-5.5" pads respectively). I would not use anything outside that range for polishing paint. There MIGHT be carpet and upholstery brush attachments for this unit (which is what I use it for exclusively) that are 6.5". I'm not sure, but for paint, see above.
Question:	Does the polisher come with a backing plate? Can I just use it out of the box
Answer:	There is no backing plate with this, I just received my 7424XP and had to pick the plate up from Home Depot before I could use it. The only thing included is a polishing pad.
Question:	How would this compare with a dewalt dwp849x 7-inch/9-inch variable speed polisher . it’s the cheaper of the two options so i need some advice
Answer:	Better is a matter of opinion, so, this is difficult to answer. Not entirely sure what you are trying to accomplish. Are you intending upon becoming a professional detailer? Are you intending to detail your car and friends/relatives, i.e. concerned amateur. How often do you want to use this? I detailed 3 cars and once detailed, I keep them cleaned and polished and sealed. I will never let my cars get to the situation where a polisher is needed. So, I don't intend to use it unless someone else wants their car detailed. I don't intend upon becoming a professional, if I did, I would get a Flex 3401 VRG direct drive DA which means a great combination of a DA and rotary but it is costs more than the 7424XP and the DWP849x together. (currently Flex is made in Germany but owned by a Chinese company). Both Porter-Cable and DeWalt are owned by Stanley, Black & Decker and both are made in Mexico. If country of origin matters, and since both are made in Mexico there is no difference. The DWP849x has soft start and the tigger is variable speed up to the speed you select, and you can lock the trigger into the full on position (where it will run at the speed you've selected). I've had the chance to use the DWP940x and for my application, I'd rather not spend $200 and 7"/9" is not required. If you want to use "normal" sized pads, you'll need to gat an additional backing plate, like a 5" or 6" Larger pads are available but leaves you with less choices and are typically more expensive. If you go with DWP849x, I'd recommend a smaller backing plate (I believe the "rating" of 7"/9" just means you can use larger backing plates and pads) with either a 5" or 6" backing plate (roughly $8-$20). You could damage your car if you use a smaller pad than the backing plate. A pad should always be larger than the backing plate, but obviously not too large a difference (like 3" backing plate with a 7" pad). The Porter Cable does not come with a backing plate, but I bought some pads and there was a special offer (from the place that I bought it) that the backing plate was "free" if you bought 3 pads. To me (and only me) the extra $80 for the DWP849x, I'd rather have the 7424XP and spend the money on pads/backing plates and products (polish, sealant/wax, decontaminates, clay bar, etc.); keeping in mind that you'd still have to buy those anyway. If you are a true beginner, the lower cost 7424XP would be a great starting point. The DWP849x weighs just over 3 lbs. and the 7424XP is nearly 6 lbs. But the weight of the 7424XP means that I used the weight of the polisher to apply the pressure instead of applying pressure by hand.
