I would have given 5 stars except for its exuaust pipe design and that the dust bag leaks so I "hooked" my vacuum cleaner directly to the pipe, with the bag removed. This sander is what you want if your goal is to get the job done "today". This unit has plenty of power and won't bog down even when rough sanding.
but. I read the bad review about this sander but somehow i wanted to try it for myself, maybe the expectation of the cliche. to those who want to buy this item don't be a mirror for some one elses thoughts and experiences, you may not feel the same when you use the item yourself later folks. to down rate a product because of your inability to understand the mechanism, is a little bias anyhow. design flaw got me curious.The truth is common sense, is most uncommon. this clamping system isn't hard to use, maybe a little effort to raise it the clamps are needed.
This was pointed out in other reviews which I read, but disregarded, probably because of my 45 year history with Milwaukee tools. It really takes "three-hands" to install a new sheet. Nice unit, except for the hard to use sandpaper clamps. This flawed design, while not typical of a Milwaukee products, makes it somewhat of a disappointment.
It never said if it came with a case, as Milwaukee tools usually do, but it did. The product met my expectations.
All three sanders do an outstaning job in rapid removal of material and leaves an extraordinary finish using 220 grit paper. The Milwaukee 6020-21 sander has lived up to the name. I had an orbital sander of another name brand that had frequent breakdowns that I replaced with Milwaukee brand sanders.If you make a decision to purchase this sander you will be very happy with the performance. Paper change is easy and convienent. I also have a 1/2 sheet Milwaukee that is 15 years old and still an outstanding tool. I have also recentely purchased a Milwaukee 5" orbital sander that is excellent.
