its a good sander if you want something heavy duty to like sand bondo but if you need something like a palm sander to d/a burs off sheet metal parts this wont really do it , the campbell hausfield always starts in a sanding mode without really working like a smooth d/a sander , so bottom line get the sander for your needs a heavy duty one like this wont work as a fine d/a even if you try to back off the air pressure dial on the handle
This has been a good addition to my woodworking tool collection. I have bought the hook and loop pad to go with it because I don't always like the adhesive back sanding discs. It is easy to use and faster than my electric sander.
