Best DA sander around for the money
Sander is amazing. I absolutely love. I used 400 grit pads and was able to quickly knock down the paint on the roof of my truck for re-coating. It’s worth noting that the bag pictured in the listing (the yellow/black heavy duty one) isn’t the bag you receive (as other’s have indicated in their reviews). The bag provided in the kit is all black and lighter weight.

Worked great for me.
I used the sander to refinish a maple table. I found the sander easy to use and effective.The dust collection is just okay. It will collect a good deal of dust, however there will still be dust everywhere. I used this inside of an apartment and my partner nicknamed me “little Chernobyl”, after basically coating our apartment in dust. I don’t think you can really avoid that though. Dust is small and is hard to contain.if you must work in an apartment like me, I suggest to do it in a small room and close all the doors. That will make clean up easier and contain the mess. You should also wear a face mask. It is especially bad to breathe in dust from sanding away wood coatings like poly. These can be very toxic.I wore gloves because the sander does make a bit of noise and feels scarily powerful in your hands. It helped buffer against the vibrations. I found that when I used the sander for a long time, my hands got really tingly. But most of the time this didn’t happen. It only happened when I used it for a long time on the highest setting.The sander was very easy for me to use. Basically you have an on-off switch, a little dial which increases the strength of your sanding, and a removable bag that you twist off that collects the sawdust. I periodically dumped the bag out often, based on reviews here. Someone suggested to not let the dust accumulate too long because the bag could catch on fire. I assume this is from sanding a flammable coating. I did not experience any burning or burnt odors myself.I found that if you want to eat away at some wood in a concentrated area, you can slightly tip the sander on its side and it will dig into the wood pretty well. Not sure if this could be bad for your sander, but I did that and it worked for me when I wanted to remove the burnt area of the wood that went down fairly deep.I do not recommend buying the pads that come with the product. The reason I say this is because they are only one grit, and it is the lightest grit of sandpaper. This would be fine if you are only doing some light sanding. However, for most projects you will want a heavier grit too. So I suggest instead to get a wider range of grits. I purchased a set of sandpaper rounds ranging from 80(coarse) to 220(fine). I bought Mestool brand 125 mm 8 holes paper P-58 gold sandpaper Velcro.Overall, the sander worked really well. It nicely finished my table and I was really pleased with the results.

Fantastic, Small Orbital Sander; Must Have for DIY’er
I’m your average weekend warrior do-it-yourselfer and my wife asked me to refinish our wooden address sign recently. Now we inherited the address sign with the home when we purchased it and I’d estimate probably 30-ish years of painting and repainting caked onto that sign. After hitting it with some coarse sandpaper to get an idea of what I was working with I clearly needed the help of a mechanical sander. Enter the Dewalt DWE6423K Variable Speed Random Orbit Sander.âºSetup:There’s not a lot to set up once you unbox this small orbital sander. Remove a bit of cardboard, glance over the small instruction booklet, undo a twisty tie and you’re basically done. You’ll, of course, need to purchase some compatible sandpaper; I purchased DEWALT DW4303 5-Inch 8-Hole 120-Grit Hook-and-Loop Random Orbit Sandpaper (5-Pack) and DEWALT DW4301 5-Inch 8 Hole 80 Grit Hook and Loop Random Orbit Sandpaper (5-Pack) for my little project though there are other options.âºDust Bag:For my small project, I did not use my shop vac to connect to the sander. Now after reading several reviews, I’m not so sure I would be able to connect my shop vac to the sander anyway. Regardless, the small dust bag did a pretty good job of collecting the fine paint and wood dust as I worked around my address sign. The bag holds a good bit of dust meaning you’re not emptying it every few minutes. If you intend to use this with a shop vac you will likely need to purchase an adapter based on my reading.âºPerformance:This little orbital sander made short work of the paint on my address sign and I was down to bare wood in no time. The sander is smooth and easy enough to move around and I didn’t feel like it was fighting me at all. Even finer details like sanding down the edges of my address sign were no problem at all. Changing the sanding paper pads is as easy as ripping one Velcro-secured pad off and slapping on the new one, just ensure you line up the holes on the bottom!âºIn The Box:â Orbital Sanderâ Dust Bagâ Toolbag with zipperâ Owners information/warranty cardâºClosing:I have no regrets about ordering this orbital sander. Honestly, I wish I’d ordered it years ago instead of being stubborn and hand sanding so many small projects. I’m a fan, recommended!
