There is a 3.0-amp motor inside of the orbital sander. It spins the pad at 8,000 to 12,000 OPM.
Separate counterweights on the hand sander reduce vibration for better comfort.
For longer switch life, the dust-sealed switch on the electric sander has been improved.
The dust port is made to fit right into the DWV010 or DWV012 dust collectors.
The user can get closer to the workpiece because the height is shorter.
The rubber overmold improves grip in all of the important parts of the sander.
Improved dust collection and a dust bag that can be locked with one hand
If you want to connect the dust port to other vacuums with 1-1/4-inch hoses, use the DWV9000 Universal Quick Connector Style:
It’s called “Obit Sander.”
Hook-and-loop pads make it easy to change sanding sheets on the 5-inch Random Orbital Sander.
When you use this random orbit sander, it has a powerful 3-amp motor that can run at speeds of up to 12,000 OPM.
The separate counterweight reduces vibration while the rubber grip makes sanding more comfortable.
A low-profile design lets people get closer to the work surface, and the one-handed locking dust bag secures to the power sander to help with dust collection. The sander can also be attached directly to the DWV010 or DWV012 dust collectors.
When I bought this, I thought it would work with my 1-1/4 dust vacuum hose, like the D26453 did. It didn’t work at all.
Why would DeWalt make a sander that doesn’t work with the hoses that are used in the industry?
Because I didn’t see that, I’m sorry.
Previously, DeWalt meant value and I didn’t mind paying a little more for something made in the United States because I thought it was worth it.
I’ll have to look for a different brand.
Too bad, I have to have 30 DeWalt tools in order to be able to do this.
You might want to start at cordless. I heard Milwaukee was cleaning their clocks. This is where I’ll start.
