Porter-Cable 0332 5-Inch Non-Dustless Sander with Adhesive Pad

From the Manufacturer

A powerful 1.7 amp motor gives this sander plenty of power for aggressive action, while a pad control feature prevents pad spin-up. Since the pad does not spin up to full speed until after it is in contact with the workpiece, gouges and swirl marks are prevented. The 3/32-inch orbit and 12,000 orbits per minute speed, give an exceptionally smooth finish. The five-inch pad accepts adhesive-backed abrasives. The palm-grip design is comfortable for all day use. With 100-percent ball bearing construction, this unit is built for reliability. The sander comes included with 150 grit sanding disc, and operator's manual.

The Porter Cable 332PC5" random orbital sander is an execellent buy.I have worked with these for the past several years and have allways been satsified with their durability and their performance.I work in the artmarket furniture business and put these sanders to the test every day.They are simple and sturdy in design and have an excellent feel in your hand.You don't have to look any farther for a great sander.

5.0 out of 5 stars CAN'T BE BEAT!!!!, September 9, 2001

This review is from: Porter-Cable 0332 5-Inch Non-Dustless Sander with Adhesive Pad (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have used the Porta-Cable 332 for approximately 20 years and have just ordered my 3rd one. The first one I sold (it's still in use, the 2nd is used every day on the job. This sander is light weight and gets into some very tight places. My wife and I buid cabinets and trim houses, so this sander it used constantly.The reason for the 2nd sander?---she's getting tired of doing all the sanding. The best feature is no dust bag that comes off or limits the places you can get into. Again an excellent pice of equipment!!

I have used this sander for almost 10 years and it does an excellent job - swirl-free consistent finish if used correctly. I wouldn't use it for aggressive stock removal, that's not its strength. The dust-collection feature on other models doesn't really do much for me, I've found it cumbersome and ineffective. One caution - it has some kind of balance mechanism, so if you drop it, it's trash. If you don't drop it, however, it will last a long time.
