Working on a headboard cabinet for my daughter and wanted to get a RO sander for it. Read many reviews on this product and looked at a number of others as well.
Pros:
- Dust collection and connections are great. Has a 2-1/2" and a smaller 1-1/4" connection. I just bought a small 1/2" pvc coupler and I can connect my 1 1/4" shopvac to it easily. It comes with a dust bag, I haven't used that.
- Has both a 1/4" and 1/8" random setting so you can change the amount of movement for different jobs
- Variable speed so you can control the amount of material you remove very easily
- Seems very well built, was reconditioned but looked new when it came
- 12' power cord is very long and the plug in is lighted so you know when there is power to it. It also has a valcro cord wrap which is great for connecting it to the vacuum hose when you're working.
- Very smooth, little vibration when holding it so you can sand for a long time.
- Soft start was a bit goofy at first but you learn to like it.
- Lock on button is really nice so you don't have to continue to hold the button.
Cons:
- 6" hook sanding pads are not a common sand paper size at the stores. Home Depot carries them but none of the other local stores do. I ordered some through Amazon.
All in all this is a great sander, very happy with it and am sure it'll see a lot of projects.
