Review on πŸ”„ DEWALT DCW210B Brushless Orbital Sander - Boost Your Sanding Efficiency by Mike Goodwin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Replaces cable in most cases

With the new 4 Ah battery, we get almost 30 minutes on a full charge at top speed. First we sand the putty, not the wood. I've used this on wood, but when I need to sand wood for longer than 30 minutes I use a belt sander first and then finish with this sander. The weight can be a little heavy and you can only grab from 2 sides, but that's not a problem. You can take it two ways: with the bag on, which works for most uses, or I sometimes turn it so the vents are out of the way and remove the bag. I wear a mask and don't use the bag outside and I don't care about the garbage that is created. Overall, I have no complaints about this grinder. Any change to a few things I've pointed out would be a design compromise and would likely provide a reason for having real downsides rather than making them overly fussy. I would buy this grinder without hesitation and I will buy another if we ever wear it out. After 100 hours of grinding, it feels (and looks) like new. And the last point - we used cheaper Lowes grinding wheels and so on forever. They don't seem to work for long. The Diablo grade with the same grit as the lowest grade made a significant difference in disc wear. We will try other brands but using a better quality grinding wheel with this grinder will only make things better.

Pros
  • Replacement 8-Hole Velcro Sanding Pad (DWE64233) for quick and easy paper changes.
Cons
  • So far so good
