Dewalt Orbital Sander,
October 15, 2007
By ezinoregon
from Oregon
"I've been working on an old car restoration project for a while. Mostly I've been working myself to death trying to do all of the sanding on the body of this 1939 Plymouth. A friend told me that Northern Tool had an orbital sander on sale and I looked and bought the Dewalt 5" orbital sander. I am completely flabbergasted at the difference this sander has made. Areas that were taking me twenty hours to sand by hand with a vibrating palm sander now take less than five hours. It's incredible. The Dewalt orbital sander is lightweight, easy to handle and best of all, quiet! I don't have to wear ear plugs when I use this sander. The fact that it is so lightweight means that at the end of the day I'm not totally exhausted from using it. Had I known the difference the Dewalt sander would make I would have purchased one years ago. I would recommend the Dewalt 5" Orbital Sander to anyone working on any project that requires serious sanding. It works like a charm."

Dewalt orbital Sander,
November 2, 2009
By unclebuck
from Chicago, IL
"This item was delivered in perfect condition it has a nice case. I used it for the first time on a pine table top I was refinishing and I was amazed at how nice it worked. Not a lot of dust and the ease of effort to use was great. The table looks brand new now and it was an easy job because of this sander, I would highly recommend this sander to a novice or a pro."

good sander,
November 2, 2009
By ratchet
from Mesa, Arizona
"This sander works very well. I shoped around and decided on this one and I feel I made a good choice.
It handles well, it's light and it doesn't shake my hand to death.
I used it to sand some benches that were very weatherd and with this sander the job went very fast.
The velco pad was cool. The sand paper is expensive but I did find it last a long time.

"This sander works great. The bag collects virtually all of the dust. I am thinking of using it inside the house. The kit is great because it comes with a good selection of grits."

Tough Sander,
July 20, 2009
By ts1960
from Cincinnati, Ohio
"The DeWalt sander is extremely durable. I run a mobile body shop and I use this sander everyday. It's performance is fast and good and very reliable. I have burned through quite a few other brand sanders, including Bosch, Ryobi and Black & Decker. None of these lasted as long as the DeWalt sander I am currently using. All of the other brands developed minor problems that forced me to stop working and make field repairs. I have had two DeWalt's and both have outperformed any other brand by a wide margin. The first sander I purchased had twice the life of the next best brand. That is the reason I purchased a second DeWalt and why I will cotinue to stick with this brand in the future."

Great Sander!!,
November 18, 2008
By Bubbychicken
from Northern KY
"This is the first orbital sander I've owned, but overall I've been very pleased with it. It's easy to control and does a phenominal job. The only thing keeping me from giving it a full "5 Stars" is the vibration. Granted, I realize that it's probably the nature of the beast.... but if you have a big job... you'll be switching hands and or taking a break. I still wouldn't trade it for anything.... It beats the heck out of a sanding block."

Dewalt Orbital sander,
January 21, 2008
By jasnms
from Asheville, NC
"I am finishing the exposed timbers in a timber frame house. I used the Dewalt orbital sander to clean the timbers from nicks, mars and other imperfections received during construction. This was a heavy duty job and the sander was extremely efficient and easy to use. It is light weight and great to manipulate in tight spots. I had some very high sanding to do and the sander was great for the job. This Dewalt tool gets 5 stars from me."

Great quality,

By skyfire
from Miami, FL
"I got this sander for one of the projects my wife wanted me to finish and I have to say I am glad I paid a little more for it. I was going to buy the cheapest brand I could find but decided that the difference was not that great . In the end I decided to go with the dewalt and I happy I did. I works great and the bag collector actually works. That is a first I tell you. Over all I'm very happy with this sander."

Good bang for the buck,
October 29, 2007
By JimmyB
from Edmond, Oklahoma
"My old orbital sander blew out a bearing in the middle of a time sensitive project. I needed a sander that could handle a large project without over heating and creating significant dust. I purchased the DeWalt 5in variable speed orbital sander and was pleased with my purchase. It is quiet and comfortable to use. The variable speed adjustment is a bit difficult to access, but not much of an issue since I rarely need to make an adjustment while working. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase."

random orbit sander,
October 29, 2007
By lane
from Sebago, Maine
"For years I have only bought Porter Cable drills & sanders. The last sander I bought only lasted about 1 year before the top bearing froze. I was able to repair it with parts from a previous model and get another year out of it beefore it quit totally. This is completely unacceptable as far as I am concerned. When I buy a tool for my business I feel it should last years.
I recently purchased a Dewalt random orbit sander and as far as I can tell this is a wonderful little piece of equipment. The paper stays on, the dust collector actually collects dust, (unlike the other brand I uesd to own) it is very comfortable to hold, even for long periods of time. The only issue I have is the lack of clear direction for on / off and I have corrected this oversight with a sharpie marking pen. I would highly recomend this sander to anyone that is looking for a good, inexpensive sander.
