4 out of 5 stars A real power house, but ?   May 6, 2008
G. L. Farnes (Cordova, AK USA)
As a reviewer I have to be honest about this sander. It is a real nice powerful sander and I find it on a par with my old Black and Decker as far as noise goes. The only complaint I have and this was a big one for me is that when I tried to get in close to a wall a bulge on the side kept the sander out about three quarters of an inch. It's a good thing I didn't give the old Black and Decker away because I had to put it back to work to get in close. If your not doing floors then you would be purchasing a fine machine.


4 out of 5 stars Good all around sander   October 15, 2007
Jonathan Fiorillo
I've had this sander for four years, and use it extensively. It has a good design, and is well built. It is light enough to be held with one hand for scribing, and stable enough for flat sanding.
On the down side - the dust bag is a joke. It never worked right, and tore and fell off after a month. It also gets hot after a few minutes of hard, constant use. But I've also had no down time with it. It handles well, and made to last. If you do a lot of flat sanding, I'd recommend a heavier sander. For all around service though, it's a keeper.



1 out of 5 stars Dust collection useless   January 15, 2006

The dust collection doesn't work. Take the side cover off and see for yuorself, Porter Cable blocked the rear dust collection port with a strip of metal. They put the port onthe top which is useless. Remove the strip and the fanand use a vacuum or buy a different sander.

If you are looking for a professional belt sander, this is the one to own. Porter-Cable invented the belt sander, and this shows why they are still the industry leader. The 12 amp motor does not bog down. The swivel feature on the dust bag will keep it out of your way, and it's quiet, unlike many competitive models. Simply put, it does it's job, and does it well.


4 out of 5 stars A FINE MACHINE   November 3, 2000

This a fine quality machine. It really is very basic and quite simple in its design. Although not as refined as some sanders out there this unit does one thing well. SAND.The ability to adjust the speed is a must on any sander.This tool will easily withstand the daily rigors of loading and unloading your work truck.I do recommend upgrading the sanding shoe and I wish porter cable offered that as a standard.From the rugged american craftsmanship to its simplicity and fair price this tool is a big hit.Two thumbs up on this one.Now get out there and sand something.
