I recently used a 5" Dewalt ROS. The one I usually use (mine) is a variable speed Dewalt. It seemed to me that the single speed which was borrowed had noticeably more power than mine. In fact it seemed that you couldn't want anymore power than it had. Was it more powerful or was it my imagination. That's always the question? I say it was more powerful.
I also own a Porter Cable low profile sander, I think a 390. I first tried it in the Spring and was so disgusted with it, I didn't touch it again until recently. And my second trial bore out my first assessment. It was not only weak, but it seemed to be not working right. It would stop spinning. I'm going to take it to a repair shop and have it checked. But it definitely is no good as it is.
What do you think?
