thats a nice sander you will probably like it a lot better then the black and decker
Sweet deal! Under power tools we have a thread what tool did you buy, should probably work on getting that pinned.

i like my orbital sander, not as yellow as that but I’m sure you will like it more than the B&D
Yea I have a porter cable that is pretty good

I have an older Dewalt sander and it works great. I got it at an auction and had to replace the pad, but that was from user error I assume.

Pads are fairly cheap to replace

I had Chrisk pin it to make it easier to find
Cool .. Thanks
I have the older version, and it’s an awesome sander! I hook mine up to a Shop Vac, has it helps cut down on fine dust. I was thinking of upgrading to this model, but I am hoping for a 20v version lol.

Good looking sander man. That thing should be pretty nice. I’m not sure why but lately I have been itching to get one of the Festool random orbit sander. It might just be because that is the only Festool tool that is close to my budget. That way I can hang out with ChrisK and the other Festool guys! [emoji6] [emoji16] [emoji117] [emoji108]

Nice sander, I have the Porter Cable 5 ” orbital,
I am able to hook it up to one of my long pool vac hose’s and then connect to my shop vac and sand down my compound on drywall. Really works nice. Virtually no dust at all…. Like a Poor Mans Festool… Lol

That would be the first festool I’d get if I would get one.
I think I’m going to order one after I get done with my bathroom work. Probably my first and last Festool!

Oh! Well you can imagine my surprise as I get the same look from my proctologist!
It took a while … But it went there ….
LOL ???
If you find it available you guys should check out the Mirka deros random orb. They are made here in Finland and one of the best out there. Some say they are even better than the Festool. Mirka is one of the leaders on sanding materials here in EU so they know their stuff.

Nice video Mattias, they make quality tools
Picked this up a few months ago and I love it. Have it set up to work with the 20v vacuum for dust collection.
