: Was looking into the electric orbital sanders out there and came
: across these to, porter cable 390k and the dewalt D26456. These
: two look and sound the same but different brands. Was wondering
: if anyone has used these sanders and what they thought of them?
: Also what is a good amperage for an electric orb? I am only used
: to air orbs and am trying to get a feel for what there is to
: offer in electric for at home. I like the look and idea of the
: two sanders because I think the general shape of them will be an
: easy transition from air to electric instead of the typically
: taller electrics. Any knowledge on the subject would be great.

I have the dewalt model you mentioned. It's quite loud, but still works well after 4+ years. I'm not sure if Bosch makes sanders, but i'm a huge fan of their products. They make very accurate, very well designed, and very sturdy equipment. Consumer reports always ranks their tools among the top 1-2. All of this means i'll pay a little more if needed to get a Bosch!
