Electric Random Orbital Sander, PioneerWorks Brushless Motor Palm Sander

This sander totally impressed me. I was looking for something quieter than our air-powered sander, and this one delivered. The brushless motor runs smooth and quiet, which makes a big difference in the shop. It’s powerful, low-vibration, and super easy to control. The grip is comfortable, even during longer sanding sessions, and it feels solid in hand. Great for sanding, polishing, and especially DIY prep before paint projects. For the price, it’s a fantastic value, compact, efficient, and way less noise. Definitely a great addition to any tool kit!

I never write reviews but I wanted to write one for this. I do a lot of body work and now I am doing body work in my garage and not my shop. I always had an issue using my DA with the air compressor because my 60 gallon would run non stop and is loud. Wasn’t an issue at my shop, but when I’m sanding at midnight, my wife wakes up and so does my daughter. I bought this to reduce noise and wow, world of a difference. I hooked it up the vacuum the other day and yes, it doesn’t suck up all the filler dust but it does stop if from spreading airborne. You will never stop bondo dust from spreading but the fact I didn’t need a mask and it kept it from going airborne was remarkable. I use a battery powered Makita vacuum and works great. The only downfall I saw is that you have to by the slotted discs which isn’t a big deal but I just bought non slotted a month before lol. But I highly recommend.

This is an excellent sander once the underlying horrific issue is addressed and fixed. I had to take the sanding wheel off with the provided tool and reglue the flimsy paper thin plastic backing plate back onto the sander once it flew off and was crumpled between the sanding disc wheel and the sander. The first time this happened the poor paper thin backing plate that seals up the well ventilated sanding disc, the plastic was chewed up too much and although I told Amazon about this dysfunctional defect, they sent out another unit where the glue that holds the sanding disc backing plate was apparently old or otherwise insufficient and did not hold the plastic back on. But the second time I was ready and after 10 or 15 minutes of sanding when the same issue occurred and it threw off the plastic paper back from the wheel, I was able to stop before too much damage occurred and I glued it back on with some quick drying Titebond glue. Since then, this sander has been a real pleasure to use and is much better and more efficient to use then any of my 5 inch random orbital sanders. The large 6 inch disc is much bigger and when using the net style sanding discs the work surface is so much more clean, finished and pretty at the end of each stage of grit used. As long as you don’t mind fixing this horrid flaw that shouldn’t exist, this is a fine and awesome professional random orbital sander at less than a third the price of a Mirka, 3M, or Festool, and your work (as well as the finished product) will improve just as much. Despite the hassle, this variable speed 6 inch 5 mm random orbital sander does great work once fixed.

Pioneer Works Has set up a delivery of a replacement sander for my sander that was not preforming as it should. I had a few issues, but they are willing to correct the problem. Makes me feel much better about the 18-month warranty that it comes with. The item started to fail 3 days of use I replaced the Foam / Pad head because the foam rubber fell apart. Next the Bearings in the head became loose after 10 hours of use and i desired to get help because it has 18-month Warranty. The phone number for the company listed on Amazon is for an art Gallery in Brookline NY and the website is the same. So, no one to help with Warranty and Amazon is not being any help but did offer a refund. Honestly, I need the sander. I have been disconnected 4 times now talking to Amazon customer support and tech support. The seller of the product (pioneer works) reached out to me and resolved my issues. THANK YOU, PIONEER WORKS, I like the sander I and have a boat to finish.

I'm disappointed in this sander. The good: low profile, manageable vibration, decent cord length, good ergos. The bad: dust extraction is non-existent, dust port too close to body for good hose attachment. This sander could be much better if they fixed the dust extraction. I read other reviews about this problem but thought I could deal with it. Ive been sanding above my head and I have to fully suit up including goggles and respirator and I'm still filthy. If I knew it would be this bad I would have passed.

After spending weeks researching differences and benefits of various random orbital sanders, I was all but convinced it was going to take a substantial investment to step up to a 6 inch sander to replace my noisy, difficult to hold cordless Ryobi sander. I stumbled across a review of this sander on YouTube and figured hey, it’s less than half of the cost of the Bosch random orbital sander I had my sights on, what’s the worst that could happen? This has been an absolute dream of a sander to use coming from a 5 inch cordless sander. I did immediately design and print an adapter to convert the dust collection adapter to my 1.5” rigid shop vac hose, because the hose that comes with this unit makes the most horrendous scream under the pressure of my 6HP shop vac dust collection setup. All in all, I would absolutely recommend giving this sander a shot before throwing down the money for a Mirka or Festool, as it’s quickly become my favorite sander to use for rough sanding to finish sanding and everything in between.

Got this last year but only used it for maybe a total of three months. Last when I used it, it's center of gravity was gone. I tried to tighten anything that maybe loose and it became very hard to handle, would not spin on the highest setting so I threw it out. Save your money buy a belt sander (corded) and a good 6 inch orbital sander Dewalt, Bosch, Milwaukee, to get a good finish. This thing is crap, I knew it would be, but I gave it a try anyway.

I’ve been doing body repair for over 50 years. Decided to tackle stripping a 1974 GrandVille and rather than have the compress running all day I’d try a corded unit. Once you get use to not handling it by the buttons it’s a joy to use. Minimal vibration and easy to maneuver. I use it with 6” PSA pad no vacuum. I just completed the strip and the unit never missed a beat. I’ll buy another if it dies in a year. But I’m not selling the Huthches yet..

Producto de buena calidad, pero le falta rendimiento ya que al usarlo un rato se calienta y falla, bajando su rendimiento. Cumple por el precio
