Navigating the world of sanding just got easier with the DeWalt DWE6423. This remarkable five-inch random orbit variable speed sander kit comes with a hook & loop pad and a powerful 3-amp motor. It operates at a speed ranging from 8,000 to 12,000 orbits per minute (OPM), offering great versatility for different sanding tasks. The sander features a separate counterweight design that significantly reduces vibration. Paired with its rubber overmold grip, it provides a comfortable and fatigue-free sanding experience. Its shorter design allows you to get closer to the work surface, enabling more precise sanding. The one-handed locking dust bag attaches firmly to the sander, helping with efficient dust collection. Alternatively, you can connect the sander directly to the DWV010 or DWV012 dust collectors. What's in the kit? You'll get one DWE6423 variable-speed random orbit sander and one dust bag. Key features include a 3-amp motor that spins the pad at 8,000 - 12,000 OPM, a counterweight that cuts down on vibration for better comfort, and an improved dust-sealed switch that protects against dust ingestion, ensuring a longer switch life. Here are the specs: it's 10.25 inches long, 5.437 inches wide, 6.375 inches high, and has a volume of 0.2 cubic units.
Using the DeWalt DWE6423 is a breeze. First, attach the hook & loop sandpaper to the pad. Then, you can turn on the sander and adjust the speed according to your sanding needs. Hold the sander firmly with the rubber overmold grip and start sanding the surface. Keep the sander moving in a random pattern to avoid leaving marks. When it comes to dust collection, you can either use the one-handed locking dust bag or connect the sander directly to the DWV010 or DWV012 dust collectors. For maintenance, make sure to clean the sander regularly. After each use, remove the dust bag and empty it. Wipe down the sander with a clean cloth. Also, check the dust-sealed switch periodically to ensure it's free from dust. If you notice any issues with the motor or other parts, it's best to have it checked by a professional. And always remember to unplug the sander when not in use to ensure safety.
