DEWALT Orbital Sander Kit, 5-Inch, Variable Speed (DWE6423K)

Very good function, fits the hand well, just gets hotter than I would like after extended use

The DWE6423K 5-In (127-mm) Corded Electric Variable Speed Random Orbital Sander made my wooden stairs look brand new and ready to paint!

Bought this a few days ago and very disappointed. Nowhere near as stable and as smooth as the same electric sander Dewalt made 12 years ago that still outperforms this new one. The dust collection is nearly non-existent as 90% of the dust is left outside the bag. There’s no comparison when comparing it against the 13-year old model side-by-side. I thought the dust collection was a cordless model issue which I had tried first and subsequently returned for the corded model but now seeing that they are both useless. Regardless of whether sanding on flat or irregular surfaces, it simply doesn’t work. Plus the hooks on the pad seem to “let go” of the loop side far too soon/easily. Generally loyal to Dewalt but am going to have to explore other brands.

We just had the finished removed from our log sided home. As part of refinishing the siding we are sanding the whole house. I bought my third DeWalt sander, so additional family members could sand at the same time. Bought the same sander because of the experience with my other two Dewalt sanders. They just work!

do not buy this sander. the machine if fine but the velrco pad will not last. I have now replaced the pad 3 times because the back of the pad is a thin fiberglass. the 4 attachment screws seat on the fiberglass film that has a very close tolerance to the vent holes. this fiberglass film soon breaks and the pad will come off. Buy again. and again. and again.

I have had this for about a year now. Seems to work really well. I love the H&L and the adjustable speed. The dust collector works great too.

Early days ,but so far very please with the sander

Love how it has 6 speeds and catches most of the dust

I had this a week and I have put it to the test. I am very happy.

So glad I was able to purchase this Dewalt DWE6423 orbit sander despite being “out-of-stock” throughout my QC region... finally located one available across the country (literally in Vancouver, BC). Now, I see why it’s so popular and all sold out everywhere. This is one great orbit sander! It does such a great job with the variable speed capacity and the compact size. The dust bag did a fantastic job collecting the dust!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought mine over 15 years ago and there are other fancy new brands available but this baby still won't die on me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this sander just 1 time but was very impressed with it. Out of the box all you have to do is attach the filter which is very easy to do then put a sanding disk on and you are ready to go. Quality of sander is very good and the variable speed is a plus. Sanding disk stays firmly attached to the pad also. Overall this sander did a great job and made short work of the task.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have owned over a year now. Durability has been proven.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this sander to remove the top layer of old stain on my 16X18 deck. Took me most of a Saturday. The sander worked great, left a nice smooth surface for the new stain.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this orbital sander for a little over a year and have used it several times. Does a great job every time.

I bought this last year and it has died already. Not happy with the last couple of dewalt purchases that I have made...

Just bought one today. Sanding my deck is a dream! Sander is easy to control and not too loud. I love it and can’t wait to find more things to sand.

I found this sander to be affordable, have plenty of power, leave no markings, and have pretty descent dust collection. This checked off all the boxes i was looking for in a sander. Very happy with my purchase.

Does a better job than a certain competitors brand, with less vibration than the competitors sander. That said, I think the vibration problem could still be reduced even more. I have owned this for about 2 wks. now and I find the dust bag already has a hole/worn spot right up next to the knurled plastic that attaches to the sander. I can't imagine why a hole would be there unless its due to the spring in the dust bag wearing a hole thru due to vibration.
