DEWALT Palm Sander, 1/4 Sheet, 14,000 OPM (DWE6411K)

This is a great sander. I bought it because it has the ability to connect to a vacuum hose. I had to buy an adaptor separately. It works great and does a good job. This is the second DeWalt 1/4 sheet sander that I have owned. They are hard to beat in my opinion. The storage bag that comes with it is just okay. Not nearly as good as blow-molded case though, like the one that came with my first sander.

This DEWALT sander is a beast! It's got plenty of power to tackle any sanding job, from rough shaping to fine finishing. The variable speed control is super helpful for adjusting to different materials and grits. It's also built tough and feels really well-balanced in your hand. I've been using it for a while now and it's held up great. Highly recommend it to any serious DIYer or professional.

Had one 20 years ago and no idea what happened to it. I used this one the day I got it to fix some doors that stick. I could of used something better but had a new toy and using this didn't take long to remove the old wood that had expanded on the end.Compared to the old Dewalt I had this had less vibration that reaches your hand and a little quieter. Dust collection is a new thing compared to my old one and it work pretty well. I just used the included bag and no vacuum attached. I took a 1/8th an inch off the end of two doors with just a single sheet of quality 3m paper.Great sander and I will be using it to completely refinish all of my doors. But I will recommend you to always use quality sandpaper and save yourself a lot of time and frustration.Others said they had issues with how the dust bag connected and I didn't have any issues. And I doubt I'd buy their attachment for a vacuum, I'd just make my own. Also it won't collect all the dust but it will collect most of it. Depending on the type of wood and or paint use a face mask and eye protection.

This sander is easy to use and not heavy to hold. It is great for small jobs. I am a senior so the ease of use is great. I have done a lot of house and church painting (inside) and usually have only small areas to sand that I had had to spackle. I love the wire mesh sandpaper too as it lasts soooo much longer than regular sandpaper. It is nice not to have to stop and change the sandpaper so often.

The Dewalt DWE6411K palm sander does a great job as a finish sander - the reason I bought it. Sheet loading and changing is a breeze. Dust collection is superior to any sander I've used to date.The only issue is the proprietary dust port. I would rather hook up a standard small vacuum hose but can't do it. It just flops around in the opening. I now see that the port is of a configuration that you probably can't get an adapter that won't cost an arm and leg or be a kluge of several adapters strung together - can you spell duct tape? Dewalt did a superior job making this connection useless except for other Dewalt products. It's got locking joints, o-rings and even ball bearings in spring detents - masterfull! I can't figure out how they frenched the dust bag into this thing and am afraid I will break something trying to get it off to see what might be usefull under there... total frustration.A business model that forces customers to buy proprietary products and/or forces them to seek out alternatives to expensive proprietary products is foolish and will ultimately loose me as a customer.

Using a sander like this can be intimidating, but this was super easy to use. It’s definitely not quiet, but it’s also not super loud. A bit of a process to load sand paper. But it holds onto it quite nicely. Works well, good grip.

Much quieter than the other ones I’ve had.

I bought this to replace my 22 year old craftsman sander that I dropped on concrete and broke it .it's well made and performs very nice , just what I would expect from DeWalt . A simple but nice carry bag came with it , nothing fancy ,just a nice bag to tote the sander in or store in a cabinet.
