Exclamation Porter Cable Tutorials - 06-24-2004, 10:28 AM

I have been scouring the web for detailed tutorials on the use of the Porter Cable 7335,7336,7424. The way I look at it is you can't screw up (to much) with more education on the proper use. So Below I have listed all of the Tutorials that I have found to date!

If you go to the same links as above (properautocare.com) they have all the same tutorials for the PC and ROTARY.

I didn't know if posting links to a DC competitor was acceptable.

Thought I would bring this back to the top. Some good reading and advice I'm sure people can benefit from-especially since there have been some posts lately about some people starting out. Thanks Focusedonsound!

Thanks for the compliment!

Maybe We could convince Dwayne or one of the other moderators to make this a sticky ... Im sure it would answer a lot of questions.
