Product Review
If you're looking for a reliable random-orbit sander capable of fast, even material removal without bogging down, this sander is a great choice. Porter-Cable's electronic, variable-speed, 3.7 amp motor provides 2,500 to 6,000 orbits per minute. The right-angled gearing system allows it to maintain consistent speeds even when you're pressing it down into the work. For a sander capable of fast material removal, this product offers relatively little vibration, and the large barrel grip allows users to hold and operate the tool without excessive hand fatigue. While this sander uses hook-and-loop paper--making it easy and reliable to change paper--an adhesive-paper pad is also available. This variable-speed model can work with either eight- or five-hole paper, comes equipped for dust collection, and can attach to standard 1-1/2- or 2-1/2-inch vacuum hoses. The full kit includes the 6-inch sander, hook-and-loop pad, a dust-collection hood, a dust-collection hose, a hose adapter, 12-grit hook-and-loop sandpaper, and a heavy-duty plastic carrying case. --Brian Trinen

Customer Reviews & Comments Unlike some other users, I've replaced my belt sander with this one. The good points of this sander have to do with it being very powerful and a random orbit sander. Powerful is good for smoothing large surfaces quickly. Quickly is good for me because I hate sanding so much (I own at least seven electric sanders -- I must hate it). Random orbit is good, frankly, because you never get the surprises that an instant of inattention with a belt sander gets you (I am in awe of those of you who get perfect results every time with a belt sander -- you are better than me). This machine is nearly as aggressive as my P-C belt sander, and much less likely to carve low spots or dig in an edge. The bad part is that it is much harder to handle than a smaller, less powerful random orbit sander. It took me a while to develop a smooth technique with it, and it still sometimes wants to "walk" off the work piece. I use it for preliminary sanding on flat surfaces before assembly. I think it would be a poor choice for sanding small parts of an assembled piece, and a disastrous choice for something with a lot of different surface levels close to each other (a rolltop desk, small table, chair, etc.) I use it where I used to use my belt sander, and finish sand by hand or with my small random orbit sander. By the way, it sands like mad. It's fast. It's aggressive. I love it. Recommended.
