DEWALT 110V 1/4 Sheet Sander

Great Sander. DeWalt kit is always dependable.I like the paper attachment method, makes it easy to use proprietary rolls of paper cut to size.Update: sadly I have returned the sander as it failed to start and made the same noises my trusty black and decker sander made before it went in the bin. But that was over 20yrs old!

I bought this to sand off chapel pews. It has been used for 140 hours over the last 4 weeks.I made a modification though. I took off the dust collection bag (removed the spring and cloth from the piece that joins to the sander) bought a straight adaptor for a Dyson for about £3 heated one end over the stove and widened it out so it fitted firmly into the piece that joins to the sander, pushed it in and used a glue gun to secure it. I then used a Dyson DC24 as a dust extractor, clipping the end of the Dyson hose to the adaptor.It removes the dust so well, there is little left... Really good testimony to the Dyson too, but you could fit an adaptor for any vacuum, not just a Dyson.With this modification the sander worked really well. It looks and feels a professional machine. For the price very good value. Highly recommend.I have not tried just using the supplied bag, so cannot comment on that for dust collection.

After many years of constant heavy use, my old Dewalt Palm sander gave up the ghost. Time for a new one. After my usual internet brows, I spotted this Dewalt sander at a good price. Arrived fairly quickly. Well packaged. This sander works as expected, very well indeed. Good sander at a good price. I have no doubt this sander will last a good many years of heavy use. Recommended.

Well made and powerful and a good shape I used mine for sanding down doors and window sill .

Delivered quickly with no problems. Really good sander and great value.

Love the paper clamps, far better than I have ever used before. A long mains lead, although rubber, it is quite stiff but appears to be very hard wearing. Quiet for a sander with little vibration to the hand. The dust collection bag is formed around a metal spring which, compared to plastic frames, is unbreakable. Plenty of dust was collected during the sanding of four doors although a fine layer of dust was still left on all other surfaces, as you would expect. Very solid, a nice weight and a pleasure to use, I get the impression it will last a long time. The switch can be a little fiddly due to the dust cover and the plastic paper punch is a pig to find being made of black plastic. You would think that DeWalt would have made the paper punch a nice bright yellow. Not bothered with the velcro part of it, quite happy with paper from the roll and the superb clamps. I'm actually looking forward to my next sanding job, can you believe that?

Light, easy to use one handed, and effective. Vibration is very low and it is very cheap to run using roll sandpaper. The dust collection is OK, certainly better than a sander that doesn’t have one. Pity the hose connection doesn’t fit a domestic vacuum though.

Gives nice smooth finish when sanding untreated wood, but disappointed it had limited effect when trying to strip paint from wood despite using course paper, and the dust bag only collected perhaps 50% of the dust with the remainder becoming airborne.
