We like random orbital sanders for their power and versatility, and this DeWalt is a perfect example. Just smack a 60-grit hook-and-loop abrasive sheet on it, and you're ready to strip thick finishes, erase the dings and scratches from an old wood floor, refinish stairs or plane down a sticky door. But it's just as capable with a sheet of 220-grit affixed to it, gently removing any minute scratches and leaving a gorgeous, swirl-free, smooth finish. The dust collection on this little sander is impressive, really drawing the lion's share of the dust through the eight holes and containing it in the cloth compartment. DeWalt's employed the Controlled Finishing System here, so this sander has a user-replaceable disc between the pad and the sander that augments dust collection and controls pad speed when the sander's not in contact with a work surface. You'll know it needs replacing when the pad speed doesn't decrease when the sander's lifted off the workpiece. We did notice that when emptying the receptacle, some dust will cling to the fabric; just push on the spring inside the bag and give it a little tap to get it clean again. When connected to a shop vacuum, dust collection is superb. This sander's really all a home do-it-yourselfer would need, because it has the stock-removal power of a belt sander and the finesse of a finish sander. It's quiet, hardworking and reliable, and we even like how it feels in hand. This is definitely a good bet.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

 One of the best woodworking tools I have ever bought December 2, 2008
DEWALT D26451K 3 Amp 5-Inch Random Orbit Sander with Cloth Dust Bag
Well, my old 1/4 sheet sander finally died, and I decided to go with the DeWalt random orbital sander, based on the mainly-good reviews. Let me tell you, I am blown away by how well this thing works. I am finish sanding several pine chests I am making, and the DeWalt sander is doing a beautiful job. I started with 120 grit paper, and then went right to 220 grit - great job. I had some 150 grit, but decided to skip that when I saw how good the finish was from the 120 grit.
This sander goes with the grain, across the grain, whichever way you want it and does an excellent job. Most of my sanding was on flat surfaces, which made life a lot easier, but I also sanded a rounded-top treasure chest I am making, and it did a great job on that, too.
The sander is not too heavy, and the vibration is well balanced, so my hand did not fall off after three hours of sanding. Yes, the sandpaper discs are somewhat expensive, but when you factor in how well and fast this thing works, it may be a wash. The cloth bag also did a reasonable job catching the dust.
Can you tell I am very happy with this sander?
9 Years and Still Running Strong December 1, 2008
I have had this sander for about 9 years, and I have sanded over one billion square yards of wood. Well, not really, but I have put several hundred hours of sanding soft wood, hard wood, MDF, and my sister has borrowed it to sand countless acreage of drywall.
The dust collection isn't terrific, but it works. It works great when plugged into a shop vac, though.
About the only thing that has a little bit of wear is the rubber boot over the on/off switch. I have not used any of the other brands of random orbit sanders, so I cannot speak for comparison.

I thought this was a variable speed sander, it is not. Thr on-off switch sometimes does not work and it is only uses 4 times.
 Gets the job done, too much vibration August 20, 2008
The sander works well and has typical DeWalt quality in build. However, the vibration is excessive in my opinion. I've used other oscillating sanders that produce a lot less feedback for the user. This thing creates some serious feedback that gave my friend hives when he used it.
The built in vacuum is my favorite feature, and works really well at picking up debris, even dust-size paint particles. You should still use a face mask if you're sanding anything other than wood, but the vacuum drastically cuts down on air born debris.

I ORDERED THIS SANDER JULY 5 AND IT ARRIVED TODAY, JULY 8. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO USE IT YET, BUT KNOWING DE-WALT TOOLS, I AM SURE I WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED WITH IT. THE PRICE FROM AMAZON DOT COM WAS GOOD AND THE DELIVERY, IN ONLY THREE DAYS WAS EXCELLANT. I ALSO ORDERED A BOX OF SANDING DISCS WITH THE SANDER. THE SHIPMENT ARRIVED VIA UPS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THANK YOU AMAZON DOT COM AND UPS. I'LL WRITE ANOTHER REVIEW OF THIS PRODUCT AFTER I HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO PUT IT TO USE ON A PROJECT. I OWN MANY DE-WALT POWER TOOLS, FROM A COMPRESSOR TO SEVERAL CORDLESS DRILLS AND A RECIPROCATING SAW AND I DON'T EVEN LOOK AT ANY OTHER BRAND. DE-WALT IS THE BEST.
