(This DeWalt Orbital 1/4 Sheet Sander replaces a Black and Decker palm sander that I've has since wood was discovered and was used to build my house many years ago). Makes wood and stuff smooth as a baby's behind and does it with ease and speed. Vendor: Fast service, well packed, no problems - Give 'em 5 stars.Product: Another DeWalt quality product. The dust bag helps contain the dust, though it doesn't get all of it. In sum, Black & Decker and DeWalt have done it again.
I have been using this product to refinish my cabinets and it works great on flat surfaces.
After only using lower quality sanders like Ryobi this was a pleasant surprise. I've read that some people are complaining of it making a whining sound upon startup. I didn't experience this. The only con was that putting the sheets on is a bit tricky at first. This is the best sander I've ever used.
It is a work horse that will pay for itself on sandpaper alone compaired to the velcro round sanding disks used on the makita. makes no more or less noise that any sander I've ever used. Never thought I'd say any tool maker can build a better product than a makita but dewalt does on this. Highest recommended sander. buy this tool with confadence.
It made me throw away my broke makita instead of repairing it. I've read a few reviews about noise. They gave me a laugh. when someone makes a silent sander I'll call it loud.
Works fine, but is hard on people with carpel tunnel (buzzy). Good value, and has OK dust collection when used with a shop vac (but nearly none with the canister).
