Description of 🔧 DEWALT DWE6423: The Ultimate Variable Random Sander

3.0-amp motor of the orbital sander spins the pad at 8,000 - 12,000 OPM. Separate counterweight design of the hand sander reduces vibration for improved comfort. Improved dust-sealed switch of the electric sander protects against dust ingestion for longer switch life. Dust port is designed to fit directly to the DWV010 or DWV012 dust collectors. Shorter height allows the user to get closer to the workpiece. Rubber overmold improves grip in all of the critical areas of the sander. Improved dust collection and one-handed locking dust bag. To attach the dust port to other vacuum systems with 1-1/4-inch hoses, use DWV9000 Universal Quick Connector.

An adapter must be purchased to connect to a 1-1/4 hose. WTF!

I bought this to replace my D26453 grinder and figured it would fit my 1-1/4 dust extraction hose as did the D26453. Why would DeWalt design a grinder that wouldn't work with a standard sized hose? I am ashamed that I do not understand what gives them the opportunity to get more money. DeWalt used to be synonymous with value and I didn't mind paying a little more for something made in North America. I think I'll have to look for another brand. Too bad I must have 30 DeWalt tools. I've heard…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable

Good light grinder for the price

As with all power tools, this is a question I keep asking myself. Why such a short power cord? Like a carpenter, when I'm sanding large panels, the string is pulled across the work piece, and when the fork and extension link reach the edge of the work piece, they snag and damage the edge. Warranty is now void because I replaced the factory cord with a 20ft cord so I can use it anywhere in my shop without an extension cord, problem solved. Solution: If every power tool ever made recommends…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I'll add later

Works as it should

I bought a Bosh before I bought it and returned it after one use. It just didn't have the power and didn't seem to spin like it was supposed to. This was my first time using a random orbital sander, so I wasn't sure if it was "exactly how it should have been". I'm glad I trusted my instinct and gave it back. The Dewalt, which I think was $10 more, works exactly as I expected. Enough power for quick removal, and with adjustable settings you can also slow it down for finer work. Dust extraction…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
