[Rona] $63 Dewalt DWE6423K Variable Speed Orbit Sander - 5" - 3A

Good price and good sander.

Bought it 2 weeks ago for ~65$ and I'm very happy with it.

Shitty output for the shop vac though, I have to duct tape an adapter to it because it doesn't fit in properly. Besides that it's very neat

PM'ed at Home Depot in Calgary and got it for $57.28 before GST. Great deal.

Price in title please

Instruction manual says not to use it for drywall sanding but it will probably work fine for that. Might not last as long.

@Gene290 on the other thread posted:

NOTE: These sanders are not to be used in drywall applications. Using a sanding screen (e.g.,
screen used for sanding drywall) directly on the hook and loop pad will not hold and will damage
the hooks on the pad. The hooks on the pad will wear very rapidly if left in contact with the work
surface while the tool is operating.


which is from the instruction manual.

Thinking of picking up one of these as a second one. its so cheap that might be worth it just to not have to change the sand paper from course to fine grit haha. Easier to just set one sander down and pick up other.
