Re: dewalt random orbital

the problem with that machine it it has a fixed backing plate so you can only use one
pad size.....no 4" pad, no brushes

but I think it has a little more power than the pc

Re: dewalt random orbital

Yes it could be a negative that it has a fixed backing plate..but..the extra power and speed far outway that one negative.

Re: dewalt random orbital

Definitely,

I found it impossible to use smaller than 6.5 " safely

Cheers
