blueskydestine's Full Review: Dewalt Heavy - Duty 5" Psa Random Orbit Sander - D...
A new tool for the bench
I purchased the Dewalt Heavy Duty Random Orbit Sander years ago as a partial replacement for a small belt sander that was falling apart and a oscillating sander that was next to worthless. While I knew that Dewalt was Black and Decker’s industrial brand, I had never owned one of their products.
Beyond the basic ability to sand across wood grain without leaving scratches, I was impressed with this sanders specifications: the 3.0 Amp motor; 12,000 RPM operating speed; and the sealed ball-bearing design.
When the Dewalt Sander arrived I was impressed that it had a six foot power cord, something many tool manufacturers have eliminated. It also fit nicely in my hand and attaching the sanding velcroed disks to the sanders pad was a snap. From day one, I’ve been impressed with the ease of sanding with the Dewalt.
The only negatives comments I would have to make are relative to dust collection. The waste container is very small and fills rapidly and removal can be very messy.
