Coastal Tool has PC's for 99.00 and for 119.00 you get one with a backing plate also....I have bought from them before..and good service..I bought a PC there 5 years ago and a Hitachi rotary last winter....and they ship fast also Al
its a good deal for a beginner who wants to get a machine for cheap money...its a proven machine...so it has a good reputation.... I just got a Flex also..but I will use the PC for 4" pad work....its tops using 4" pads for getting small areas... Al
