Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: Treat yourself to a sander that will do the job right without taking its toll on your body. This is a compact sander that produces fine, swirl-free results and can be used on a huge variety of surfaces, thanks to the variable speed dial with an impressive range of 7,500-12,000 orbits per minute. Though equipped with a powerful 3Amp motor, this sander lets you tackle even the most difficult angles without the discomfort of excessive vibrations, thanks to its soft rubber grip. Other features include an automatic brake that engages when you set it down, and the efficient dust collection of the exclusive POREX dust canister and dual dust port that can accommodate 1-inch and 1-1/2-inch vacuum hoses. Additionally, a removable cap resides at the top of the machine for effortless cleaning and service. This impressive sander uses readily available 5-inch hook-and-loop paper and includes a kit box.

 Rating: - Porter Cable 343 VSK RO sanderPorter-Cable 343VSK 5-Inch Variable Speed Random Orbit Sander - Hook & Loop Pad After many years of hard service I replaced my trusty old DeWalt 5" RO sander with a new Porter Cable 343VS. To-date I'm very pleased with the PC's performance. Aside from a couple of features the DeWalt lacked (vacuum hose attachments, bayonet-fit on dust collector, self-stopping) there is very little difference. I bought the PC for its vacuum hose capability, and I bought PC's 1" flex hose kit. ... Read More Rating: - My fourth variable speed ROS from Porter CableWell, this is my fourth Porter Cable variable speed random orbit sander. The three previous models, 333VS, still work and do a great job. However, I needed a new one and noted the 333VS has been replaced by this one. First, fit and finish are slightly different than the old 333VS. The top handle cap is indeed a little bit larger, but I am able to handle it well even with my small hands. I have had to search and search for units that I can use properly as my hands are not as big as my ... Read More Rating: - Nice sander but some drawbacksThe pad brake actually works unlike other manufacturers claims. When the sander is off the workpiece, it does not spin. You can have it running and switch to another piece without marring it. One gripe I have is the variable speed. When turned down below the highest setting it is just about impossible to use the sander. It jumps all over the place and you can't get a consistent finish. I just switch to hand sanding at this point. Otherwise I like it though I wish I saved my money and bought the ... Read More Rating:  - Great bang for the buck!Excellent performance at a great price. The dust collection is good as is, hook up a vacuum and it is virtually dust free. The convenience of hook & loop, dust collection, great price, hard case, and a good orbital sander to boot. Rating:  - Got to wonder about the manufacturingThe top cap was gouged and penetrated to the extent that I would not put the sander on a store's demo shelf. Having arrived in a secured case (with internal architecture not corresponding to the damaged area), the sander's damage was unlikely caused by shipment trauma. Weeks ago I returned a PC router whose base was cracked (and almost severed) upon receipt. PC's good reputation may be historical. I picture a frantic manufacturing plant focused solely on quantity production. Browse for similar items by category:
