Porter Cable make's the best power tools. I've never had one fail or break I don't thinkit's just "LUCK"
We plan to use it for corners on the oak flooring and stairs.Do plan to use your earplugs, mask, GLOVES, goggles, and extension cord: but that's just part of the fun.Putting the paper onto the sander really dries my hands, hence the gloves. I bought this to help with my daughter's home rennovation project.used it to smooth large spackling areas. It is easy to handle, and does a great job. I am a 55-year-old Mom; this is my first sander and I will never start another painting project without one.I did lots of research before buying this, and my husband says I did very well. I cut flat sheets of sandpaper into 4 pieces, punched holes with the little stand and went to town.
Take it to the post office and hand it over. The sander worked for about 2 minutes then it died on me. BUT, returning it couldn't have been easier. The refund was timely. Just had to click once then print out the return label.
It does easily accept a 1/4 sheet of sandpaper, but be sure to quarter the sandpaper accurately. about as good as can be expected without a vacuum attachment. There was no paper slippage. It made short work of sanding down 13 treads, easily stripping off 10 years of traffic and abuse with #60 sandpaper. I purchased this unit to refinish a pine staircase.
Dust collection was nominal. The unit is very powerful and does not bog down when applying pressure. Anything shorter than a quarter sheet will not secure well into the spring-loaded clamps. I'd say it chambered about 60% of the dust. Changing paper is easy with a little practice.
It's just a really well built palm sander. I have several and they all perform top notch, this one included. Can't go wrong it seems with Porter Cable products.
