Customer Reviews Excellent Product by .. Mike (Jacksonville, FL) The Porter-Cable 6 inch variable speed random orbit sander has performed outstanding as both a sander and buffer. Yes I would recommend this to a friend.
nice RO sander by .. K. M. Kemp (Fremont, CA) this is a very nice tool. it removes stock quickly yet no swirls are apparent. i have the smaller porter cable RO sander but find myself using this one more. this is a well balanced, relatively vibration free tool. for you car nuts, it comes with a buffing attachment so you can use it in that capacity too
The best sander! by .. R. Thurlow (San Fran) I have had the 7336 for 10-13 years and I too have stopped using my belt sander. It removes stock rapidly, yet is easy to control which is great when being used by unskilled employees. I have had problems with the switch. I think it gets fouled with the dust as I "fixed" it one time just by blowing the switch with compressed air for 30 seconds. I think I'll buy a couple of switches. They appear easy to replace. Last note: a 5" disk is only 70% of the size of a 6" disk, so you have a lot less abrasive on the work surface. btw, I have large hands and don't grip the tool too tightly - no problem with my wrists...
Porter-Cable 7336 Sander by .. Winford Rister (Chipley, Florida) Porter-Cable 7336 6-Inch Variable Speed Random Orbit Sander Only
After borrowing this same sander on different occasions from two of my friends, I decided I needed to buy my own. Just as I expected, it works great! It is easy to handle, easy to change discs, and if you need it in a tight spot, the handle comes off in seconds.
No need for 5" random orbital with this one by .. Nathan Barnard (Saint John, NB, Canada) Excellent sander. I use it for flattening pannels and sanding kitchen doors. It easily goes from very aggressive sanding to slow/fine sanding. Takes a bit of practice to get a good sanding technique and for holding the machine. Probably won't use the 5" dewalt again. It is just so much slower (even with the PC on fine grit at low RPMS).
