Description:
|
The Porter Cable 7428 circular polisher is actually made in Germany by Flex. Flex is a world leader in polishing machine technology being the innovator of the variable speed trigger. Porter Cable bought Flex a few years ago. In Europe, this machine is still sold under the Flex name but in the U.S., it is sold under the Porter Cable name.
The 7428, for all its ruggedness, weighs in at 8 lbs. making it comfortable for long term use. The front, loop handle (called a bail handle) is preferred by most operators and can be offset on either the right or left side to accommodate left handed users.
The top, speed limiting dial is infinitely adjustable from 1000 to 3000 rpm. I prefer the detent type control of the DeWalt but must admit the Porter Cable's infinitely adjustable control offers more flexibility. Once the speed limit dial is set, the adjustable trigger allows operation from 0 to the set rpm limit.
Note: The speed control is numbered from 1 to 6. According to Porter Cable here's the rpm range: (Speeds can vary 200 rpm depending on the line voltage [110 volts to 120 volts] in your area.
1 = 1,000 to 1,200 rpm
2 = 1,400 to 1,600 rpm
3 = 1,800 to 2,000 rpm
4 = 2,200 to 2,400 rpm
5 = 2,600 to 2,800 rpm
6 = 3000 rpm
Rugged German construction and a powerful 10 amp motor makes this the Mercedes Benz of polishers. The 7428 comes with a one year warranty that is honored by any Porter Cable Service Center nationwide.
