Hi Folks,

Looking to replace my P.C. 7424, which handles my 3"-4" pads for small areas. Wondering if any of you use the Rupes 75 mini and your thoughts...

FYI...I use the Flex 3401 for 5"-6" pads.

Thanks,

Steve
 
I just picked one up a couple months ago. I had been using the pneumatic one for quite a while but was tired of listening to my compressor run. I think the pneumatic one cuts a little better but the mini is still a great tool and it's my new go to for tighter areas. I would get the Metabo backing plate for it though. ;)

Significantly better than GG 3" I am sure?? This is on my list for sure
 
I have the mini and use it all the time. I use it for 3" and 4" pads, and would say it is up there with one of the best tools I bought this year. If you like your 15 or 21, you will love the mini.
 
I have the mini and love it. Very powerful. Use it flash pad and Scholl pads.

I actually haven't ever used the GG 3" since I have a custom housing on my G110v2. I would say it cuts noticeable faster than my G110v2, so it's probably worlds better than the GG3, but it's not where near as small. ;)
 
How much better is it than the Porter Cable?

What are the key differences?

Dare I ask what size compressor you have? I've been looking at those too...

I has seen one in the big blue and white home improvement store that is on sale now.

I'd say the biggest difference would be the larger offset, 12mm vs 8mm. I haven't used my PC since I bought a GG6 and G110v2, as they had noticeably more power (torque) than the PC. Other than that it is smoother with less vibration than the PC, but both will still achieve the same goal, one will just be faster.
