This review is from: Milwaukee 6021-21 Random Orbit Palm Sander with dust collection bag
Milwaukee brand attracted me to this Orbit Palm Sander. Good brands of average good quality ... and (5 year warranty). Nice Homes. It is not heavy, but heavy enough. Very well balanced and feels very comfortable in operation. With Shop-Vac enclosed, clean and this is good. Powerful motor with variable speed (a more general maximum speed) is very useful. I like the soft stop and the long cable helps to clear the transaction. Orbit Sander muffler system and minimal vibration. Not for the effort.

I looked everywhere to Home Depot and Lowe and was hit with a number rather than with others. But in the end, comments good review, nice options, good specification and a decent price in favor of Milwaukee. And 'even better transaction. Recommended.

While Milwaukee still makes some great products, not one of them.
Overall feel and use of the machine is of good quality, and port dust collection is probably one of the best for these machines. Unfortunately, no court has the power or sweetness as advertised.
The pad seems to be very careful as to when and how much you want to activate - after using the machine in the last two weeks I seem to guarantee low performance for heavy duty sanding (remove the finish on old furniture). The pad often simply quiver instead of spin or orbit. I think this is a problem with the clutch. Due to the erratic nature to leave a lot of spiral in the piece - I spent almost as much time re-sanding as I did the "power" of sand. For example: cut the milestone a working my way through 80-100-120-150-180-220 trouble with the sander, wet the piece revealed a light texture of lamb's wool, such as vortices alder and oak red. So I'm back to 100 grit hand sanding later.
Porter cable used to make the industry standard RO electric sander, and unfortunately this is a piece of shit now.
In general, if this is common for projects and light are not obsessed with the finale (I'm a furniture maker, I have to be obsessive), this is a decent machine.
For heavy use or professional, it seems that electric sanders are no good until you reach the $ 300 range, at which it is Actually more convenient (and Powerful) to invest in a pneumatic system with a small compressor and less abrasive - parts fail, and a top finish.
