I usually do my research before purchasing tools, but I neglected to so this time and thought, "Hey, with DeWalt you can't go wrong." I was wrong. The power isn't there and the dust collection bag, which was a selling point for me originally, collects very little dust - maybe 20%, if that. What's worse, if you're not careful, the bag will just come right off because it's not securely fastened to the sander.12 of 12 people found the following review helpful.Hard worker at a inexpensive priceBy Ernest BullockI am a handyman/contractor. I own several of these units, and basically I find them "just fine". First off, they are inexpensive enough that I don't fear loaning or losing them on the job.They perform radically better than the Mikata orbital sanders I bought 5 years ago (to be fair, new Makitas probably do better too). Now I wish I hadn't waited so long to replace my older units!Yes they are noisy ... but in my opinion so are all the other units on the market. I wouldn't use ANY palm sander for more than a minute without ear protection, period.Dust pickup is so-so as described, but in the jobs I do it doesn't really matter. I usually don't use the dust bag at all as it takes too much time to punch the paper and empty the bag for the benifit gained. If I need dust containment I do the work outside or use the Zipwall system (which customers really like!). And incidentially, no plam sander picks up enough dust you can safely sand previously painted stock without a respirator to protect you from lead.One of my units had a loose fit between the dust bag and the sander. I roughened the plastic up a bit and that, more or less, stopped the problem.What really counts, in my opinion, is it sands VERY well and quite fast. And with fresh paper you can easily get within 1/4" of a 90 degree corner, which isn't bad for a sander which uses generic (ie non-glued) sandpaper.All in all, I like the DW411 alot.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful.Wish I had my old one...By Peter BushmanThis is my second DW411 sander. After 10 years of regular use the bearings wore out in my first one and I decided to replace it with a new one. I was pleased to see on the new one that the heavy wire clamp handles had been recessed better over the pad which eliminated the problem of the handles hitting the wood in corners. I was also pleased to see that the pad was beefier than the old one. Then I turned it on. I couldn't believe how loud it was. I thought it was new and would quiet down after a little break in. I've used it now for over 4 months and it's still so loud you MUST use ear protection. I'm beginning to think there is something wrong with it it is so loud. It works great, but is so loud I don't want to use it. Time to get something else...See all 8 customer reviews...
