20V MAX Orbital Sander, Tool Only (DCW210B)

Nice little sander

This is what you are looking for guys. This is not a scam, It even arrived well ahead of the scheduled delivery date and is exactly as described. Insane value compared to the local DIY stores. We know why, but that's not a question we need to ask, right? Enjoy the value and an almost half price DEWALT Orbital Brushless. Crazy. Very happy that this completed my cordless collection. Edit: the warranty is void on these due to the question we don’t need to ask. But it’s the gamble you take if you want this thing half price. If you’re really…reeeeallly unlucky and somehow you break it. You’re gonna need to open this bad boy up and see what happened. Or sell it for parts. Your call. But it didn’t phase me

Top stuff

Fairly long lasting, reasonable price. Effective sanding.

Great sander that is holding up well after a few years of use. 7 speed settings and easy to change discs. The only issue with extended periods of use is vibration - but that's the same for any power tool.

I believe this is worth the money but it does seem like the motor needs to be a bit more powerful. Dust collection isn't the best but it's still very effective, fits in hand nicely and easy to us. Dewalt being one of the leading brands I was expecting more power if im honest hence the 4 stars.

Random Orbital Sander that works with the 18v XR system. (the US description of 20V Max is the same thing but different laws allow it to be described differently) Much cheaper than the UK version. will only have a 12 month Amazon guarantee not the three year dewalt one. BUT miles cheaper.

Thrilled with my new sander. My technology has moved on. Love the power, efficiency and portability (no mains lead to battle/entangle with). Just love the velcro technology on the sanding discs too. So easy to change papers and grades. Very happy with it.

all good

I love this sander. I wish I had seen the 'Project Farm" video first, but I read a ton of Amazon reviewd and took a shot with the Dewalt. I knew chances were high I would go with the Dewalt, as they got their hooks into me with some of their other cordless power tools. I paired this sander up with some 6Ah off-brand batteries I found on Amazon. Fantastic! I bought 2 for approximately $75. They come with a built in LED display and are 100% compatible with Dewalt tools and 20V chargers. Will they last as long sanding compared to using the Dewalt cells? I doubt it, but the savings allowed me to have 2 packs rotating so I was never stalled waiting for a fresh charge. I did try this sander with my old Dewalt 20V 2Ah battery packs and they did not give me any useful duration to sand the counters. I resurfaced a huge amount of butcher block counter tops that are on all sides of the kitchen. I could have use 40-60 grit sanding pads to remove the heavy coat of marine varnish, but the pads load up quickly and the varnish glazes over to form a air gap between the pad and the surface. I found a utility one-sided razor blade, scraped across the surface peals the old varnish with minimal effort. Two other tips: 1) buy the vacuum adapter to manage the dust, and 2) buy a big box of mixed grit sanding pads on Amazon so you can afford to keep a fresh pad with the right amount of teeth to do the job. I worn pad extends the time and drains the battery with no surface preparation (sanding) in exchange. The dust extractor when coupled to a vacuum is awesome. Very little dust covering the kitchen wares. I tried the included dust bag attachment without a vacuum and it works fairly well, better than other sanders I own. If you have a shop vac, buy the $11 adapter, you will be glad you did. Speaking of cost, this sander is on the high end of the price range. As demonstrated on Project Farm, this sander ranked close to or at the top of all of the brands tested. Easy to move around without getting tired. Controls are convenient and easy to adjust. Low vibration, no heat generated, noise was OK even when sanding inside. If you want a random orbital cordless hand sander and you can afford this model; if you follow the 2 tips, you will be very pleased with the decision and the results. There was some beautiful old butcher block underneath the varnish. Take your time and progress from 40-60 grit, to 80, 100,120 180, etc., through 400 minimum. You may not think the grit gradations are too small, but there is a visible difference in surface finish if the steps are large. I used 400 & 800 grit pads in between coats of urethane. I have received lots of compliments on the finished project. This sander earned a big portion of the praise.

This is actually my first random orbital sander. I have been doing woodworking for many many years but never got around to buying one. I do have a belt sander, detail sander and sheet sander which have been great to work with. After using this sander for a while now I can say I wished I had bought one earlier. I cannot believe the power that comes out of this cordless sander. Really surprised me. I find I get around 9-10 minutes per amp which is I find pretty good. I was also surprised that a 4 or 5amp battery doesn't put it off balance. Really stable. I never thought I would ever use the variable speed feature but now I like the feature. I really liked it while sanding paint off a veneer. Love it. The dust bag works quite well. Better than any other sander I presently have right now anyway. The main thing I like about the sander is "no cords!". Dewalt cordless tools are awesome. Love the cordless mitre saw tool. One negative about the sander is the size of the top. Built for guys with really big hands I would say. Not that bad but I tried out the Dewalt corded version and like the feel of that one much better. I'll see how goes for the next few months and if things change I'll come back here and let you know.

Excellent little machine, powerful, dust capture is very good, and a very solid machine. Well made, great quality. Highly recommended for the price. Thank You DeWalt

Es increíble lo bien que funciona aún en la velocidad número uno. La lijadora se encarga de hacer el trabajo sin que sea necesario aplicar fuerza sobre ella. Dependiendo el grano de las lijas, puede dejar las superficies tan lisas como un cristal. Ha sido mi primera lijadora Roto Orbital y son muy superiores a las orbitales. La excelente capacidad para aspirar el polvo me encantó, calculo que el polvo que atrapa está entre un 85 y 95% de lo que genera, no requiere demasiada limpieza posterior. En cuanto al peso; definitivamente es mucho más cómodo usarla con baterías de 2Ah aunque las vacía rápido y va disminuyendo su potencia sin que sea perceptible pero no deja de trabajar. Ya con baterías de 4Ah sí hay una considerable diferencia del peso de la lijadora, de hecho, una batería de 4 sirve de base para dejar la lijadora en posición vertical ya que sí le gana el peso. Con las PowerStack de 5Ah se me hizo incómodo usarla. Hasta el momento he podido lijar madera sólida, triplay, lámina de acero, pintura y barniz y, la única dificultad, ha sido con el barniz y la pintura, el grano se puede tapar rápido. Me parece que con esta lijadora y una de banda, se cubren todas las necesidades de lijado. Feliz con esta adquisición. :))
