(More customer reviews)I owned a Black and Decker finish sander that I always used to sand from 80 grit to 220.I noticed that it was taking so long, and then finally I broke my sander.So I bought a Makita BO3700 finish sander (excellent finish sander!!!), but it is a finish sander, not a tool mark remover.So for the last few projects, I've been scraping, then hand sanding until I was ready for 180-220 grit final sanding.Normally this used to take me hours.So much so that I started regretting woodworking (GOD forbid!!!).So after reading some reviews of this, and may other random orbit sanders, I decided to take a chance, and buy one.
Well, after many reviews, I opted for the Porter Cable 343K.I also bought some Norton paper, in 60/100/150 grit.After tapering some table legs, I loaded it with 60 grit, and started sanding.I was amazed how fast the burn marks (cherry), and saw marks sanded out, with no swirl marks!!After going through all the grits to 150, I decided to grab my Makita, and finish it out.All the tool marks were gone, all the scratches were gone, and I finished my legs, and aprons (4each) in 1 hour!!I'm currently gluing up the frame, and will final sand again in 220, then apply my finish.I can't believe go fast, and how thorough this P/C sander works, but then again, it's a Porter Cable.I think I'm going to order some of the Mirka paper on Amazon.In a previous career, I used to sell Mirka, and all the body shops always told me how great the Mirka paper was.Looks like I'm gonna find out on my next project!!!Don't hesitate to order one of these, it is a great sander!!!
