A powerful 6-in. machine with two modes: a 1/8-in. orbit for fine finishing and a 1/4-in. orbit for aggressive but controlled materials removal. Changing modes was awkward, requiring the user to rotate the pad by hand. The dust bag worked well when connected to a vacuum, the sander ran best with reduced suction. The front handle of the sander was instantly removeable for getting into restricted areas. Less-than-average vibration. A bit heavy for extended vertical use.

Pros: Dual mode well-designed grips, dust collection, 12-ft. cord.
Cons: Awkward mode changes dust quickly obscured mode indicator.

Craftsman Random Orbit Sander

While this sander is among the least expensive models in the test, its performance ranks among the best. The stock removal was excellent, and dust collection was solid when used with a vacuum. It handles really smoothly, too, and has a tall body that fit my hand nicely whether I was holding it from above or around the waist.
