Review on πŸ”§ PORTER CABLE 7346SP Random Orbital Sander for Polishing by Roy Whetstone

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't hit the target.

I really wanted this to be amazing. For real. I have many projects and use an Air DA (buckle-on) and the idea of an electric DA is exciting. So I took it out of the box and was a bit shocked at how heavy it is. In addition, the handle is not very ergonomic. Perhaps worst of all, the speed dial isn't on the handle, which could be adjusted while you're grinding. you have to stop Turn the tool over and set it manually. Anyone who has ever used DA knows that the ability to "blend" is paramount. When you plug it in and turn it on at low RPM, it vibrates a lot, almost like the counterweight isn't turning. The only satisfying vibration is at full speed. So I applied it to the car I'm making and it removes some serious stuff. So for 138 I made a good buy? Overall, if you can ignore many of the issues above, I'd say it's a good deal. sad thing. It could have been a screaming great instrument but it looks and sounds like garbage.
