Amazon.com Product Description
Treat yourself to a sander that will do the job right without taking its toll on your body. This is an incredibly compact sander that produces fine, swirl-free results on a variety of surfaces. Though equipped with a 3 Amp motor, this sander lets you tackle even the most difficult angles without the discomfort of excessive vibrations, thanks to its soft rubber grip. Other features include efficient dust collection of the exclusive POREX dust canister you'll find superior to cloth bags, and the dual dust port that can accommodate 1-inch and 1-1/2-inch vacuum hoses. Additionally, a removable cap resides at the top of the machine for effortless cleaning and service.

5 out of 5 stars Money Saver   July 21, 2008
Jack Wade (Nashville, TN)
The power and quality you would come to expect from a Porter Cable Product. PSA discs are substantially less expensive by volume than the Velco paper that you would find at the big box retailers. This sander will pay for itself quickly in just the money I will save by not having to pay 4X as much for Hook & Loop paper. No wonder this tools isnt sold at the other guys! I highly reccommend it if you are doing BIG projects and using lots of paper. BTW....Amazon shipped lightning fast. Thanks.

Bud (Idaho Falls, Idaho United States)
I bought this sander (Porter Cable 344 5" random orbital sander with PSA pad) and then discovered that it is nearly impossible to find 5" 8 hole adhesive disks. Ace Hardware is the only place I have found them and they are about a buck a piece. Go with the hook and loop sander.

Having said that, the sander works great and the hook and loop version of this same sander would be even better.
