Dewalt VS Milwaukee - which orbital sander is BEST?

[@dekoeneridder2452]

Got the corded DeWalt and its a beast. Sanding pattern is wonderfull, great results and the dust collection via a shop vac is top notch!

[@hammerandhome]

Definitely! I have a few different corded versions. All good sanders

​@@hammerandhomehappy Thanksgiving bro

[@rickyperkins232]

All the good Sanders and all the really really great Sanders are plug ins

[@hammerandhome]

@@rickyperkins232 totally agree, love my festool sanders.

[@hammerandhome]

@@rickyperkins232 thx! Happy thanksgiving to you as well.

Love my Dewalt orbital sander for home DIY

[@ken7808]

Nice tip on the interface pad- I had no idea such a thing existed for orbital sanders.

[@MilitantMountaineer]

Dewalt is at home depot right now 10/30 for 79 down from 169, can't beat it for 80bucks.

For dust collection on the DeWalt: Cut off the cloth bag keeping the connector. Wrap the connecting end of that hose in masking tape - sticky side outside, smooth side down around the connector so it can slide off. Hold hose with masking tape next to connector and proceed to hot glue gun it in place. Go slow as the glue will just run off if you use to much too quick. Use enough to make a robust fitting. A good 10 sticks worth. You now have a connector that the hose can slide in and out of and it can connect and disconnect from the tool. If your hose slips out of your new connector during use, you never used enough glue sticks - keep adding more and making it thicker and stiffer until it doesn't fall out anymore. You can paint the glue black to make it look pro.

That M18 dust collection lid loves to pop-off during use. Very annoying.

[@fishies9804]

It's odd Milwakee has not released a brushless sander..

[@hammerandhome]

Yeah I find it strange as well. I actually really dislike the dust collection on this. It never stays shut.

[@TheBonbenk]

I have corded and cordless Dewalt orbital sander. I don't know if my cordless dewalt sander is faulty, but I hate it's vibration so it's harder to control. My corded sander is way more comfortable to use.

[@hammerandhome]

Interesting, I find the vibration on the cordless pretty good. But nothing compares to my festool. But it’s corded so I tend to grab the dewalt more often.

[@TheBonbenk]

@@hammerandhome I see, thanks. If it's still usable for you than mine's is faulty since It's unbearable to use. Gonna open it up, I hope I can assemble it perfectly later. Lol.

[@hammerandhome]

@@TheBonbenk lol good luck, take a video so you know how it goes back together

[@toolsdealsautomobiles6980]

I just wanted to jump on and tell you to try a Bosch 18v sander or even the 12v. Both are the only ones i found cordless to compare to my air or electric sanders 💯 check out the Bosch and you will be blown away

[@hammerandhome]

@@toolsdealsautomobiles6980 I totally agree. I have the Bosch as well, amazing sander! Have you seen the videos of the new Milwaukee? Looks even better, the vibration on it is practically zero

[@MikeKaufman-u2q]

What is the throw on these?

[@charizzkalum9137]

Ill loose all those bits for the Milwaukee in 5 minutes on site

[@hammerandhome]

lol I know, that’s why we need an individual pack out for every tool 😉

[@ModernDayTech]

Milwaukee Power Washer yet???

[@hammerandhome]

🤣

[@Scott-fy7fm]

Yup, spray a hose into the air input of their blower.

[@martingo2680]

I'm a return I'm Milwaukee... Seriously, I can't stand Milwaukee's ergonomics. Powerful tool but just doesn't feel good on the hand. The battery is way too close to my palm and I can't get a good grip.. Even worse, there's no good place to rest. Your fingers on.. it's really not even shaped for you to grab from the side

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍Thank you

[@hammerandhome]

You’re welcome 👍

[@tedmcdonald3377]

😎⚒️😎⚒️😎

[@patbird9694]

Both of those orbital random sanders suck. Just buy an Makita.

[@hammerandhome]

I haven’t tried the makita. For corded I go with festool all day long. 👊

[@thomasrankin8506]

@hammerandhome is milkaukee best to buy

[@patbird9694]

No. Makita random orbital sander has better design and much easier to use. Been using my over 10 years now hasn’t failed me yet.

[@patbird9694]

Or go for the bosch blue .
