I bought this approx 6 months ago. I am a table builder and use it for all the course sanding. It really hogs material if the seams are not quite. a vac on the sander and it really stops the dust issue. With out the vac you really create a lot of dust. I really use the tool am super pleased

works as expected

This sander does exactly what it is designed to do. The variances are sandpaper grit verses the surface to be sanded, etc. I used this sander on epoxy surface to smooth surfaces and prepare surface to primer coating. Excellent results.

The DEWALT 5 in. Variable Speed Disk Sander is a work horse. I purchased this to allow me to refinish my wood deck. We power washed the deck and that left splinters in the wood. I purchased the hook and loop sanding disks 60 grit and they worked great with this sander. The sander went into the wood and took it back to a point that it looked new. We were able to sand the floor of a 14×14 foot deck in about 4 hours and then over the next couple of days we took care of the spindles and rails and steps. everything looks great and we can now finish off the deck with a good coat of Flood stain to make it look great. would highly recommend this sander if you have some aggressive sanding that you need to get done. Very happy with the performance.

This is a powerful sander but is difficult to control. I bought it to sand chip wood for one project and was not concerned with a perfect finish. If I were, this would not be the tool. Not sure what to use it for now unless I need to rip a lot of wood fast and don’t care about imperfections. The drill style handle makes it a little awkward to apply the right amount of pressure and it tends to jump all over the place as it sands. Also a little bummed there was no dust bag and the port doesn’t fit my standard shopvac hose.Pros:Will sand lots of wood fastAdjustable rpmsCons:Tends to jump around and dig the wood.Drill style handle is awkward to hold and apply the right pressureNo dust bagNon standard dust port.

This thing is a savage beast. I love it. I’ll probably still use my 2.5 amp Bosch random orbit for some finesse work, but when it comes to shaping wood and removing paint this Dewalt is my new best friend.

I should have gotten the 3amp. This one is way more power than I need. But it’s great.

We sanded an ENTIRE porch with this tool. It has many hours of heavy service and is still like new.

It’s a great piece of equipment. It should come with a dust collection bag but i put one on. Otherwise its pretty powerful! Staff at home depot are always helpful and friendly.

What a beast! Bought this to sand the edges of an oak floor covered in mastic from cork tile. Turns out this baby has enough power to do the whole field. Easy to handle, took care of business quick and easy. Well worth the price I paid ($79) and a total keeper for professional use.

Excellent but had to return it because it was tooooo powerful. Ended up getting a hand sander.

I was in search of a heavy duty sander that had the capabilities of stripping paint off of old clap boards. This sander does exactly that. It’s powerful, easy to use (once you figure out how to control the shakes). The only down side with the sander is that you have to use two hands to run and control the sanding process. This makes sanding clapboards on a ladder virtually impossible. Other than that this sander is a complete power house.

Easy to use, easy to replace sanding pads. Handled our cedar deck (though as expected had to go over with a hand sander to eliminate swirls before staining) and handled my metal trailer with ease. Glad that I bought it.
Letitia O’Keefe (verified owner) –
Exceeding my expectations. Quick to change out sandpaper and powerful to cut job tine in half if not more
Beth Stracke (verified owner) –
Excellent sander for rough surfaces. Makes quick work and is easy to operate

Works great
Bettie Bogan (verified owner) –
Can do rough/fast stock removal AND fine/polish work as well. Million times faster and easier than using less powerful models. Don’t let the lack of random orbit scare you away. If I could own just 1 sander, THIS would be it.
