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.
