: Ace hardware just had a sale on the Dewalt. Check it out - it was
: cheap. I don't have the flyer any more. I have a Dewalt and no
: problems ever. Occasionally you will have to replace the hook
: and loop pad but that's with all of them. Mine is not the
: variable speed one but I don't think you need that. Any of the
: major brands will be good. I would stay with 5" 8 hole or 5
: hole because the disc will be easier to get locally rather than
: 4" discs.

Whatever you purchase be sure to get the dust pick-up attachment and the flexible hose to attach it to your shop vac. This will keep a 1" layer of dust off of everything in your shop every time you use it and it is an easy way to collect fine dust to thicken epoxy for filling purposes. I have two ROS's, a 3.5 amp 5" and 6.5 amp 6" Bosh hook and loop, variable speed, with soft, flexible pads, both are excellent.
