porter cable pad not turning
Hi guys,
I have a fairly new Porter Cable and I just started using it on my boat to remove some faded gelcoat. I just realized, after working way too long, that my pad is barely turning? It makes no difference if I turn it up to 6. I am using a 5 in. pad?
Is there a clutch or something that causes the pad to stop when pressure is applied?
Thanks in advance

You should put a mark on your backing plate to see if you're pushing too hard that it stalls. If you need to cut more, switch to a 4" pad (& appropriately sized backing plate).
