Porter Cable make's the best power tools. I've never had one fail or break I don't thinkit's just "LUCK"
I am a 55-year-old Mom; this is my first sander and I will never start another painting project without one.I did lots of research before buying this, and my husband says I did very well. I cut flat sheets of sandpaper into 4 pieces, punched holes with the little stand and went to town. I bought this to help with my daughter's home rennovation project.used it to smooth large spackling areas. It is easy to handle, and does a great job. We plan to use it for corners on the oak flooring and stairs.Do plan to use your earplugs, mask, GLOVES, goggles, and extension cord: but that's just part of the fun.Putting the paper onto the sander really dries my hands, hence the gloves.
The refund was timely. Just had to click once then print out the return label. The sander worked for about 2 minutes then it died on me. BUT, returning it couldn't have been easier. Take it to the post office and hand it over.
Changing paper is easy with a little practice. It does easily accept a 1/4 sheet of sandpaper, but be sure to quarter the sandpaper accurately. Dust collection was nominal. The unit is very powerful and does not bog down when applying pressure. I'd say it chambered about 60% of the dust. Anything shorter than a quarter sheet will not secure well into the spring-loaded clamps.
about as good as can be expected without a vacuum attachment. I purchased this unit to refinish a pine staircase. It made short work of sanding down 13 treads, easily stripping off 10 years of traffic and abuse with #60 sandpaper. There was no paper slippage.
Can't go wrong it seems with Porter Cable products. It's just a really well built palm sander. I have several and they all perform top notch, this one included.
