This sander is a replacement for another Porter Cable Sander which I bought over 15 years ago. It had served me well for all of that time. Alas the sander pad came off and needed to be replaced. For the price of the replacement pad, I was able to buy a whole new sander from Home Depot. Out with old in with the new.

I worked with several of these sanders on a job site this past year, we put these sanders through some pretty serious abuse and definitely got our money’s worth. We sanded rough-sawn lumber directly before applying finish for a rustic look, as well as rock-hard reclaimed oak. We even took them to the hardwoods in an emergency when we couldn’t rent a floor sander last minute. When we finished up, the surviving sanders definitely needed their pads replaced, but that was over 1 year of heavy non-recommended usage. I’m pretty impressed with how long they lasted on that job site. I imagine with less frequent use or home use this would last a good long time.

purchased 10+ years agoNot sure whats up with these reviews being so poor for this product. I have this exact model number from 10 years ago. Therefore it is an older design and you really shouldn’t purchase at full price, but that’s the only reason, as it’s a very competent well built tool. I have abused it profusely over the past decade and I’m only on my 3rd pad for it. This tool will last many many years and its a simple random orbital sander. Do some research and purchase the correct sander you need. Random orbital sanders are supposed to remove lots of material. They mostly suited for finishing and for that task, this sander has ample power. I’ve only wanted for more power when I couldn’t fit a larger sander into a tight spot but, thats not a negative for this sander. My 4 out of 5 are for these reasons, which are areas it could be better:Vacuum/dust port and bag. I ditched the small useless bag it came with in about the 3rd year. Unfortunately the port is a weird size and the adapter it came with to fit round Vacuum fittings was also an oddball size.Also, even with the bag, it still builds up dust on the fan blades and then randomly blasts them out all over the place. Pad interchangeability, would be nice if you could alsp swap pad sizes.

This little power house is worth the money. It runs smooth, low noise, lightweight and low fatigue.I need to order another one or two so I can have them ready to go and wouldn’t have to change the paper.

Sander meets my expectations.
Furman Blanda (verified owner) –
So far it’s been a great sander. I’m using it for small surface areas, mostly pine wood. I haven’t had any issues with the dust collection bag blowing off like others have mentioned. Overall, a fantastic buy for the price, and my dad (a lifelong contractor/cabinet-builder) says he’s got Porter Cable stuff that has lasted forever. Looking forward to that!

I purchased this sander to replace my piece of junk Ridgid sander that I purchase less than four months ago. Works so much better than the Ridgid sander at almost half the price

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

ease of use right out the box

I have several of the older model of this sander ranging from 5-15 years old. This one takes the same pad as the older ones I have which is a definite plus. The quality appears to be up to par, very little vibration, and the sander is more comfortable than the older models. The sander leaves a fine finish as well. Great sander for the price.

The dust catcher kept blowing off. Locked it on with a screw. Works fine now.
