Review on DEWALT DWE6421K Random Orbit Sander by Adam Nelson

I've never had anything other than a very small mouse grinder and knew I couldn't grind the dining table in the kitchen with a grinder that small. I chose this grinder on the advice of a friend who does all kinds of grinding work. I sanded a 34 year old solid maple kitchen table. The first time I did it by hand (groans), the second time I borrowed a belt sander from a neighbor and didn't get on well enough with it. I made some indentations on the table with this grinder. The finish cracked again after 10-12 years and the countertop was stained and very sticky so it was time to sand down and repaint. First let me mention that we didn't take the table to the garage as it's dusty and the table is very bulky and heavy so we did it right in the dining area and spread sheets to catch the dust. The mill has a sawdust collector that works pretty well, but of course it can't collect all the sawdust. I was very happy with how easy it was to move the grinder around the table, we emptied the sawdust bin, vacuumed it and then used a rag to remove all of the sawdust. We sanded 4 more times, from 60 grit to 220 grit. The sandpaper fit the sander very well and we only needed one sheet of each grit. We read the instructions carefully and realized that we really needed to wear both goggles and an n92 mask to keep the sawdust from getting in our eyes or throat. We found out the hard way. We also watched videos online to help with this project as we don't do projects like this often. The sander must have done a good job as the 5 coats of water based polyurethane that we applied with a matte finish looks very nice. I'm looking for other things to polish now!
