This is a good sander would have given it a five star if the dust bag would have stay on it. It caused a big mess.

Easy change of sanding disks and dust collector works well probably even better with a vacuum

As always, Porter Cable knows how to make great sanding equipment. I have had an earlier version of this sander, which I already thought was excellent, but this sander is better. The tool works quickly, and accurately, and produces great results.

I do a lot of wood work and work with different types of sanders depending on my need, but this orbital sander is amazing. It’s easy to change from one grit to the next and is light and easy to use. If you’re a beginner it CAN try to pull away from you a little but if you easy up on the grip and let the sander do the work, it’ll definitely get the job done. I use it almost daily and highly recommend it!

Very pleased with the durability of this product.Putting it thru the wringer sanding a teak ship.Only one issue & it’s a design flaw. The dust reservoir drops off far too easily. Nearly lost it into the ocean multiple times. Work on it Porter-Cable.
