DEWALTDWE6411-GB 240 V 1/4 Sheet Orbital Sander - Yellow/Black

Delivered quickly with no problems. Really good sander and great value.

I bought this to sand off chapel pews. It has been used for 140 hours over the last 4 weeks.I made a modification though. I took off the dust collection bag (removed the spring and cloth from the piece that joins to the sander) bought a straight adaptor for a Dyson for about £3 heated one end over the stove and widened it out so it fitted firmly into the piece that joins to the sander, pushed it in and used a glue gun to secure it. I then used a Dyson DC24 as a dust extractor, clipping the end of the Dyson hose to the adaptor.It removes the dust so well, there is little left... Really good testimony to the Dyson too, but you could fit an adaptor for any vacuum, not just a Dyson.With this modification the sander worked really well. It looks and feels a professional machine. For the price very good value. Highly recommend.I have not tried just using the supplied bag, so cannot comment on that for dust collection.

Love the paper clamps, far better than I have ever used before. A long mains lead, although rubber, it is quite stiff but appears to be very hard wearing. Quiet for a sander with little vibration to the hand. The dust collection bag is formed around a metal spring which, compared to plastic frames, is unbreakable. Plenty of dust was collected during the sanding of four doors although a fine layer of dust was still left on all other surfaces, as you would expect. Very solid, a nice weight and a pleasure to use, I get the impression it will last a long time. The switch can be a little fiddly due to the dust cover and the plastic paper punch is a pig to find being made of black plastic. You would think that DeWalt would have made the paper punch a nice bright yellow. Not bothered with the velcro part of it, quite happy with paper from the roll and the superb clamps. I'm actually looking forward to my next sanding job, can you believe that?

Well made and powerful and a good shape I used mine for sanding down doors and window sill .

I really rate DeWalt products and this did not disappoint it is brilliant just what I expected, it is more expensive than other brands but it does what it is supposed to do sand with little vibration, my old one was a hand numbing experience. It is easy to change sandpaper sheets and the strong clips keeps them very secure whilst doing the job in hand. Would NOT recommend any other brand.

Being a tradesman I like solid robust reliable well made tools, this sander does Not disapoint , I'd recommend this to anyone.

After many years of constant heavy use, my old Dewalt Palm sander gave up the ghost. Time for a new one. After my usual internet brows, I spotted this Dewalt sander at a good price. Arrived fairly quickly. Well packaged. This sander works as expected, very well indeed. Good sander at a good price. I have no doubt this sander will last a good many years of heavy use. Recommended.

Light, easy to use one handed, and effective. Vibration is very low and it is very cheap to run using roll sandpaper. The dust collection is OK, certainly better than a sander that doesn’t have one. Pity the hose connection doesn’t fit a domestic vacuum though.
