I own this sander and it is a beast! I am so happy I bought it. It makes short work of sanding! It is the best hand sander I have ever bought. It's powerful and I use it lightly tilted just as he says. That's all you need to get the job done. This one, the DWS535B worm drive saw, and the DWS779 12" double bevel miter are the best in my view. They give me the power to do jobs quickly with ease. I like to work smart not hard 👍👍

Thanks for commenting TJ. I don't own the DWS535B saw or the DWS779 12" miter saw, but I have lots of other DeWalt tools. Every single one is worth the price paid!! Good luck and thanks again!!

Thanks for specifying the details on the sander particularly that it is Not a random orbital. For years I have used a similar Makita 5" sander polisher and fitted it with a better pad set up for fairing and shaping. Saw the DeWalt and noticed the better pad and decided to check it out. Your review answered my key questions and I have happily ordered the tool as one of those key elements in my shop Thanks much!

Hi Pops, was thinking of getting this but have a couple of questions if thats ok, Is this just to hog rough wood to a state whereby you can then use say a random orbital sander to finish? because im thinking if you're using it on its edge then would it not create uneven areas and slight divots/waves, plus because you're only using an edge would it take longer? gr8 video thank you

Great question! When you first start using the disc sander, YES, you will not have the smooth flat surface you can achieve with the random orbital sander. But with practice you will learn how to have better control and have flatter boards. It does not eliminate the need for the ROS.....but once you learn how to use the disc sander, your sanding times can be shorter. In this video I talked about the time difference I had going from the belt sander to the disc sander. I no longer have a belt sander....nor do I need one. I prefer this disc sander and cannot recommend it strongly enough. If you have a lot of sanding to get done, get you one!

There are screws holding the pad onto the sander. Remove them and replace the pad. Then, use the same screws to attach the new pad.

Heath, the key to using this sander is the "LIGHT" touch. On a large piece that you need to be perfectly flat, you will most likely NOT achieve that with the disc sander alone. You will need the ROS to help flatten things out more. As for scratches, you are using the exact same sanding discs as on the ROS. The main key here is, once again, the light touch. Working your way up the grits from 80 to 220 without skipping a grit will give you the best results. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Mondo, while using a 13mm wrench to hold the shaft in place with one hand, unscrew the base with your other hand. It should not be that tight. It doesn't need to be extremely tight on the shaft. Reverse the procedure to install the new pad.

@@PopsCustomSignsLLC I have this sander + a Dewalt DVW012 HEPA dust extractor (with the larger universal connector on it). The sander dust port is approx 1" while the universal port on the dust extractor is like 1.75" ID. I've had no luck finding an adaptor to connect the sander to the dust extractor and customer support at Dewalt has been zero help. Can you let me know what you use re dust extraction and if you have run into this problem?
