Product Description

Amazon.com
Built to deliver smooth, clean finishes, the DEWALT 5-Inch Random-Orbit Sander features DEWALT's trademarked Controlled Finishing System along with a 3.0 amp motor and an easy-to-control body with textured grips. A dust bag that helps keep your work space clean, a sealed-switch, and sealed ball bearings round out the sander's durable design.
Controlled Finishing System for Smooth ResultsThis sander's 3.0 amp motor delivers 12,000 opm, a sanding speed that's ideal for creating smooth finishes on a variety of work pieces. Its random-orbit motion and 3/32-inch orbit prevent unsightly swirls while allowing for significant material removal. The DEWALT Controlled Finishing System (CFS) controls pad speed and minimizes gouging during start up, contributing to clean, consistent finished surfaces.
Since achieving a great finish is also about how well you're able to control your sander, this tool features a textured anti-slip top and body grip. This keeps you comfortable during extended periods of use and allows for excellent control--no matter how tough the job at hand is. The sander also features a dual-plane counter-balanced fan that improves handling and works to reduce user fatigue, and it weighs in at an easy-to-maneuver 3.4 pounds.
Durable, Versatile Design and Quick Disk Changes
Sanding produces a lot of dust, which can be hard on electronic and mechanical tool parts over time. This orbital sander's dust-sealed switch and sealed 100 percent ball-bearing construction combine to keep dust and debris away from critical components and ensure a longer tool life.
For added convenience, the sander accepts 5-inch, 8-hole hook and loop abrasive paper. This setup allows sanding disks to be switched back and forth quickly and easily, so you never have to choose between maintaining an efficient workflow and utilizing the perfect grit.
Convenient, Integrated Dust Management
Dust management is critical when performing sanding and stripping tasks, and DEWALT has it covered with a high capacity dust bag. This bag features a built-in vacuum adapter, so you can choose to utilize it with or without a shop vac or an extractor based on where you are and what applications you tackle most.
This 5-Inch Random-Orbit Sander comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money back guarantee.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2011This is a well-designed, well-engineered sander that is easy to use, effective, and relatively clean. For home use, including floors, furniture, cabinetry, decks, etc., this guy will do the job. It's a workhorse, will keep on running after extended heavy use. But the dust bag is the star feature. I wouldn't even think of doing any home sanding without the dust bag attached to the sander. If you run a sander without the dust bag, the resulting wood dust is the mess from hell. A thick layer of wood dust covers EVERYTHING in the area, and I mean everything. And that's just the grosser dust, the super-fine dust is even worse. Not healthy to breathe, and a pain to clean up after. I was surprised how much sanding you can do before the bag fills up. The dust bag is easy to remove and re-attach. As far as the sandpaper itself, you buy the sandpaper pre-cut to fit the sander head, and it just fits right on with no muss or clamps or anything. I've heard people say that an orbital sander obscures the grain of the wood. I didn't find that to be true for this sander, quite the opposite. It paid for itself on my first project, which was sanding off the old finish on my kitchen cabinets. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a good home sander.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2013I have a 25 foot sailboat and needed to sand off at least 1/16 to 1/8 inches of hard bottom paint off the hull.
The total bottom area is about 450 sq. ft. and I had to work twisted over and upside down most of the time. Sanding both convex and concave curves (a sailboat bottom ain't flat!) I went through about 200 sanding disks of varying grits.
Despite all the incredibly fine dust and four six-hour days of work, this Dewalt was a champ. Relatively light and very well-balanced to hold, it made the worst job I ever had to do much easier. I thought the fine dust from the paint would kill the motor, but no problems!
Changing the velcro sanding discs was incredibly easy and fast.
Only two small complaints and a warning:
1- The dust bag is really useless for anything but the smallest jobs. (Just look at the photo: You expected to hear that, right?)
2- The outlet doesn't connect to a standard Shop Vac hose. I had to buy an adapter to connect to the ShopVac hose. No big deal, but still it's not ready to roll out of the box.
The warning:
This thing is very LOUD. Don't even think of using it without some sort of hearing protection.
A serious tool for serious work.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2015Amazing Sander for pretty much everything for the first 18 months. Then it game me a small shock one day. I turned it off, check the plug, etc, and turned it back on. The next shock was NOT small, nearly knocked me off of my feet. There is 3rd prong on this tool, so buyer beware. This item(or at least the one I purchased) is not a long term investment.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2012I had some light sanding I needed to do and this did a great job. Plenty of power and the dust collection bag works well. But there were a few quirks that kept it from getting 5 stars that may or may not bother you ...
* Collection bag is hard to get on and off. It stays on with a tight fit over a rubber gasket. That is going to wear out I think over the years.
* The handle is very big and bulky. It works okay for a guys hands but would probably not do well with smaller hands.
* The bag that it comes with is nice and well made but there is no extra room in it once the sander and collector are in. So if you plan on keeping your sanding discs there (which would be a natural), no room.
Still for the money, plenty of power and well made.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2008The sander works well and has typical DeWalt quality in build. However, the vibration is excessive in my opinion. I've used other oscillating sanders that produce a lot less feedback for the user. This thing creates some serious feedback that gave my friend hives when he used it.
The built in vacuum is my favorite feature, and works really well at picking up debris, even dust-size paint particles. You should still use a face mask if you're sanding anything other than wood, but the vacuum drastically cuts down on air born debris.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2012I have been restoring automobiles for over 25 years. I do a lot of sanding of old, nasty finishes to prepare the car for fresh paint. I use an air sander, powered by a big noisy air compressor. Recently my compressor wore out, and rather than spend $1100 on a new one, I thought to myself, Hmmm...Why not find an electric that would do the same thing! I found this sander, and installed a PSA pad adapter, "DEWALT DW4385 5-Inch PSA Pad, Medium (Fits the DW422)" and picked up right where I left off! I completed my first job with it, a repaint on a 1995 S-10 pickup, and this little guy preformed flawlessly! It allowed me to use the paper that normally goes on my air sander, and I don't miss a beat now. I would recommend this sander to anyone serious about refinishing wood, or metal, using PSA paper. PSA paper is less expensive than the velcro-backed stuff. It is available where auto body supplies are sold. Check your yellow pages under auto body supplies for the PSA 5" paper. This works great!
