Professional Air Random Orbital Palm Sander, Dual Action Pneumatic Sander, Low Vibration, Heavy Duty

I work in a metal shop, I use DAs all day long. I have noticed it is on the heavy side it is also taller than my normal 3m DA.The 3m DA is rated at12,000 this DA is rated at 10,000. I have to say this DA blows 3m DA away for the power it brings!! This DA has a round stabilizer in it which makes this DA a lot smoother to work with!The only draw back o have noticed so far is it did not come with a filter to muffle the noise.I even let a co-worker use it, he was very shocked on how powerful it was.I'm impressed with this DA so far!!I hope this will last longer than 3 years like the 3m ones....

So far I’m happy with it, of course I’ve only had the opportunity to use it once.

Nice sander. But would have been nice to see in the description that it has a velcro base pad! How is a 6" self adhesive sanding paper supposed to stick to it?

Great

I have used the same industrial orbital sander for the past 15 years. It was a 3m that can’t be bought now, all metal and designed for non stop use. Well over $300 back then. Well, all good things come to an end, it finally gave out and I don’t do as much work as I once did. Plus I’m on a fixed income and can’t swing that kind of money now.So I bought this with a little hesitation worried of the quality. It did cone in packaging that certainly indicates it is not made in the USA. I don’t care for hook and loop, so I got a sticky pad for it.I have already put about 15 hours of hard use on it and I have to say, I’m impressed. Low vibration, doesn’t suck my compressor dry. I do have a large commercial air compressor, 80 gallon 7 HP, but it kicks off and on while continuous use of the sander. It runs very similar to my previous very expensive 3m.It fits the palm of the hand nicely, it will stay running while placing heavy pressure on it and it just performs, way better than expected. It is used for sanding paint, bondo and fiberglass, basic body repair.I do not use on wood so could not rate it for that. However, I believe this sander is well worth the cost and I recommend it for being a good quality, durable sander.

I work in a fabrication shop Stainless steel, aluminum, standard steel, and wood. Lot of finishing work. After 2 months this thi g is ready to fall apart. 10hrs a day, 6 days a week. When it was new out of the box. It was definitely louder than Dynabrade. Close to the same sound of a Husky air 6". But I would by a Husky before I waste my money on This piece of $###. I have a Husky 6" as well. Good sander. For the price you can't beat it. But if your going to be sanding for hours. Get a Dynabrade. Quiet for a air tools and won't vibrate your hand numb. This cheap China tool is ok for the occasional user. I took a belt sander and sand off the the hook and loop on the pad and made it smooth for self-adhesive 5" disc's. Works great. This sander vibrates more an more as it gets used. Starts getting a little louder as well. For power it's not bad. If you need a cheap sander for once in a while. Buy it. Professional use. Never!!! This thing will cause Carpal Tunnel.

We love these! We own a manufacturing business and purchase these.

Used for about 1 hour so far with excellent results on a front fender. Teflon tape the connector threads for added seal. I use 6" pads on the 5" head to keep from digging into the curves of the panel. Set the compressor out pressure to about 90 psi (note that the paddle says not to exceed 90 psi). The speed is controlled by both the valve under neath & the paddle on top. Adjust the valve for your desired max rpm by pressing the paddle all the way down. You can now adjust the rpm by how far you press down on the paddle. I am very pleased so far. Works like the expensive pros, hope it holds up.
