Fein MOL1200E 10.2 Amp 8-Inch Random Orbit Sander with Vacuum Adaptor

Gets the job done in half the time. Covers 78% more surface area than a standard six-inch sander. End up with a smoother, better finish. This variable speed sander has an instantaneous electronic feedback system. This advanced electronic circuitry maintains constant RPM. No matter how much pressure you apply, you won't stall this tool. When you use the Fein sander with a Fein dust extractor, you capture 98% of the airborne dust created from sanding. Dust-free sanding provides a better finish. The sandpaper stays cooler and won't load with particulate or broken abrasive. And, sandpaper life is increased as much as 10 times.
Customer Review: Amazing
I purchased this sander because I was restoring a 150-yr-old pine floor and didn't want to remove 150 yrs of patina (just the paint and rough surfaces). Plus I wanted to hook the sander up to a HEPA vacuum to collect the lead paint dust. The sander is powerful and is aggressive. On softwoods it can't pick up all the dust, but it would have been much worse without this setup. I never would have bought this for my woodworking shop, but for large flat surfaces nothing beats this for doing an excellent job quickly. On hardwoods there is practically no dust. I love this machine for smoothing large flat surfaces. One reviewer noted that the on/off switch is placed in a poor location and can be accidentally shut off. I would agree, but you can get used to it. I own Dewalt and Bosch 6" sanders and they don't hold a candle to the Fein on large flat surfaces. You can buy sandpaper for this machine from Klingspor much cheaper.
Customer Review: Pass on this tool
I have been a carpenter and cabinet maker for over 30 years and have used many tools. For the money, this tool rates at the bottom. It has enormous vibration that will fatigue the user quickly and the on/off switch is put in the worst possible location. It is impossible to use this tool without inadvertently turning it off. It is one of the most annoying tools I have ever used. It does, however, do a decent job of dustless sanding, but at a stiff price both in money and comfort. Do yourself a huge favor and buy the Bosch 6 inch random orbit sander model 1250 DEVS. I bought the Bosch at the same time and use it over the Fein 9 times out of 10. And the Bosch is $500.00 cheaper. The Bosch has much less vibration and has a non orbit mode that takes material off fast and is much less fatiguing than the Fein.
