Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Simply the best in its class The Porter-Cable 333VS Quicksand random orbital sander is simply the best 5" random orbital sander on the market. The tool is very solidly built, with superb fit and finish. The excellent ergonomic design allows the tool to be held very comfortably with a variety of hand positions. The hook-and-loop pad holds sandpaper firmly, without any slippage. The dust collection system is very efficient, and the rigid collection canister holds up much better (and is easier to empty) than a flimsy bag. Although I usually use mine hooked up to a vacuum system, I have used it with the canister on a number of occasions and have never had the canister fall off. The Porter-Cable 333VS random orbital sander has more than enough power for any sanding task you would use it for, and it runs very smoothly. There is also no question about the durability of this line of sanders. I also have a Porter-Cable 333 fixed-speed sander, which I once knocked off of my work bench accidentally. Absolutely no damage was done, and the sander still works beautifully. You wouldn't go wrong with a Makita, Bosch, or DeWalt, but if you want the best get the best--the Porter-Cable 333VS. Rating: - Great Sander I like everything about this sander - quickly removes material, extremely quiet, very little hand-numbing vibration, dust canister really works, velcro pad swapping quick/easy, variable speed useful when sanding delicate areas or higher control is needed. Can't say I tried any others, but it's hard to believe they could be much better than this one. If you own a old palm sander and are wondering if it is worth upgrading to RO, the answer is yes. Rating: - Great toy -- but for serious work! Christmas day was spent with a huge grin on my face since I unwrapped my 333VS RO sander and a 9444VS detail sander -- and why not? Porter Cable tools never fail to satisfy, and this was no different. Though a bit more expensive as one reviewer noted, the hook and loop pads stick more consistently in dusty situations than the adhesive pads. If you are debating spending the extra $$ for the VS versus single speed, get the VS as you will appreciate the added control. At lower speeds with very fine paper you get a mirror-like finish. At higher speeds with heavier grits this thing can accomplish some pretty aggressive stock removal. While sanding some joint compound, I also noticed the lower speed still removed the excess, but kept the dust cloud to a bare minimum. Another excellent PC tool that will definitely see lots more use than my palm sander.
