 What a time saver! July 22, 2008
I worked for over an hour hand-sanding a coffee table I built for our deck out of some pretty rough lumber, and was getting nowhere fast. This great little random orbital sander arrived in the nick of time, and I finished the whole table in about 15 minutes, with much better looking results. It will get a lot of use around here. As a female woodworker, I sometimes have trouble using tools that are too big for my hands. This one fits fine and was very easy to control. Love the easy clean-out feature,too. Highly recommended, and couldn't beat the price. I also ordered the multi-pack of sanding disks, and they work great.
Very happy with this product July 16, 2008
After shopping for some time for the perfect sander to fit my needs, I can truly say that the Porter Cable 343K has not dissappointed me. It's tough, quiet, easy to use, small-hand friendly, and it has made work fun! I was very impressed with it's power and handling. It made quick work of the job at hand and I look forward to using it in many more projects!
Very Pleased July 14, 2008
This sander works quite well. I have a Ryobi that I had been using, and this sander causes less numbness in my hand and might be more controllable. I would give another star, but the case bugs me. The pad holding slot only has room for one stack of pads when it could have room for two stacks. Also, it does not close very well and leaves a gap. RGGGH. So simple.
Works fine, but June 11, 2008

This sander requires 8 hole hook and loop, the old model 333 that I replaced with this took 5 hole hook and loop. They are NOT interchangeble. Fortunately the 5 hole pad from my 333 fits this, because I have about $80 worth of 5 hole sand paper and I sure didn't want to mess with trying to sell it and buy more. Also, the screws that hold the pad in place are Torx lock heads and the screw thread itself is not machined type threads (more like a sheet metal or wood screw), and they are a pain to remove. It takes about 5 times as long to remove the pad (which you have to do to replace the rubber band contraption that makes it random orbit). The good about it is that it's not nearly as loud and is much easier on your hands (less vibration) than the 333 model. The dust collector fits my shop vac better than the old 333 as well.
excellent product May 31, 2008
WELL BUILT WITH PLENTY OF POWER. I USED THIS SANDER TO FINISH A DECK AND IT WORKED VERY WELL. IT DID THE JOB IN A FLASH. THE DUST CATCHER PERFORMED WELL ALSO. WOULD RECOMMEND.
