  • DEWALT Sander
I am very pleased with my DEWALT Orbital Sander Kit! It delivers incredible sanding performance on all types of projects, from small DIY tasks to larger woodworking jobs. The sander feels sturdy and well-built, and the kit comes with everything needed to get started right away. It’s efficient, easy to use, and makes smooth, professional-quality results every time. A fantastic tool that I would highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Great Purchase!
Love this sander. I've used it countless times. Does the job on an otherwise very tedious task.

  • Easy to use and captures dust well. Wonderful tool .
This is a game changer for me. Hook and loop makes changing sand paper grits a sanp. I dont have a dust collecting system and this does a great job collecting dust. Just one reget - should have bought it years ago.

  • Works great!
Well designed. Had been slogging through finishing projects, and this sander restored hope. Pick the right grit, and hog through material as needed or dial it down to a brilliant luster.

  • Good item
Very good product, like most things from Dewalt. I wish this had adjustable speed. That feature is available on the higher cost versions, but I didn't want to pay for it. Given the low cost, this is a good deal. It works well, the cord is a good length, and I'm happy with the purchase. When I bought this, the kit version (which comes with a carrying bag) was the same cost as the non-kit version (i.e. no bag). The only difference was that the non-kit version was in stock while kit version was back-ordered. When I ordered it, Amazon said it wouldn't arrive until around 9 days later, and I decided I could wait that long to get the "free" bag. However, I got lucky and it arrived just 4 days after ordering. ... show more

  • What a great sander! Buy it you won't be disappointed!
I absolutely love woodworking, but I also absolutely hate sanding. Standing there what seems to be hours of tedious sanding through the various grits with a dusk mask on, a fan to blow away the dust particles or a dust collector octopus hose attachment can be annoying, especially if you have an uncomfortable sander in your hands. I currently have a Porter Cable 6" sander. It is a beast to handle. The cylindrical main body grip is uncomfortable and the ninety degree side handle is an aid to sanding large surfaces, but at times you have you have to take off the side handle to sand in tight spots, it simply gets in the way. The dust collector hood is inefficient and again you have an hose attachment hooked up to a dust collector that you have to drag around the shop. If you don't have the dust collector hooked up, be prepared to sand in dust cloud and get covered with fine dust particles. To make matters worst, this sander is heavy, sanding for long periods of time can be tedious. I was looking at something that was compact, had a good center of gravity (unlike the 6" Porter Cable where the center of gravity is off set to the side along the main body), is powerful, and provide a good dust collection bag that actually works (and we all know that some sanders come with dust collection bags but are an after thought and really collect nothing but air). Most of my power tools are Dewalt (love the 20V hammer drill and driver set) so the credible factor goes way up with me looking at Dewalt tools to use. They are affordable, are good quality, and last a long time. After reading through the Amazon reviews of the DWE6421K I decided to order one. When the sander arrived, I plugged it in and turned it on and the first thing I noticed was that there a lot of air coming out of the dust port. I own a Dewalt DW735 planer (love this tool also) and the dust port on the DW735 is so strong that all you have to do is hook it up to a dust collector and turn on the planer, there is no need to turn on the dust collector because of the force of the planer blows dust and chip particles right into the dust collector bag. The DWE6421K sander on the start up reminded me of the DW735 planer, there was a lot of air coming out of the dust port. I hooked up a dust bag and went to sand down an old furniture piece with a old varnish on it, I thought for sure this would plug up and bog down the sander, I was pleasantly wrong. The sander did not slow down, I didn't have to push down so hard because the center of gravity was right over the main body. Even when I pushed down on the sander it hardly bogged down. With an 80 grit it took of the varnish with no problem. The thing that I noticed that there was very little or no dust coming out from under or the sides of the sander. I opened up the dust bag and noticed that the dust had been efficiently placed in the dust bag. I continued to sand my project from 80, 120, 150, and 220 grits and I noticed that the pig tail swirl marks were barely noticeable. I hand finished with 220 and 400 grit. When I sprayed the finish on, the project came out beautiful, and the Dewalt sander was a significant contributing factor to the great finish. All I can say is Wow! what a great feeling, a powerful sander, that has a dust collection bag that actually works, is light, maneuverable, and is not fighting me along the way to sanding down a project. Throw in the fact that the sander is only $59.00 what a great deal. Take my word for it, I have been building fine furniture for thirty years (any Sam Maloof fans out there!) and any time I can find a tool that is efficient, affordable, easy on the body, and be subjected to the rigors of daily use, would be in my arsenal of tools on tackling those woodworking projects. I give this sander my highest recommendation! I might actually enjoy sanding.....well, not really lol! ... show more

  • Best budget sander
Excellent budget sander! It's very nice to never worry about batteries. Lack of variable speed isn't too big of a deal here. It's not a tool designed for detail work anyways. It does its job very well. Just make sure to use it properly. Don't grind it into the wood; don't sit in one spot for too long. That's how some people melt their velcro. I've treated mine right for years and it still works flawlessly. The only difficulty I had was with dust collection. The tiny bag isn't enough for most jobs, so I connect it to my shop-vac. But the plastic end isn't sized with standard tubes in mind, so it doesn't fit perfectly. Even so, it stays on well enough for my needs. I have an aftermarket tube that clamps pretty hard. ... show more

  • Excellent tool
This replaced a Bauer from harbor freight that broke after about 10 hours of use. The difference in quality is immediately apparent. The dewalt is quieter, more powerful, and feels like it is putting more energy into wood than it is in into your hands (which is a pleasant change from the previous). The dewalt costs twice as much and is well worth it. ... show more
