Overview
Not a random orbit sander, this Porter-Cable is built for polishing, with a motor rated at several amps. The listing gives its speed, weight and dimensions but little else.
Polishing depends on speed and pad, and the listing gives only the speed. Weight is moderate for control. The unit's description is thin throughout.
Who it's for
A hobbyist polishing a vehicle or surface at home gets a corded tool of manageable weight. Those wanting a variable speed range or accessories listed should look for a fuller listing.
Pros and cons
- Pad size not listed
- Included items not listed
- Single speed shown
- Description is thin
Performance notes
Polish quality depends on speed, pad and compound, and only speed is given. Corded power stays steady through a long job. Weight sets how fatiguing long sessions are.
