Selected User Reviews For MILWAUKEE'S Electric Tools 2648-20 M18 Random Orbit Sander
This version has been revised 11 times This year Afterward, I got another one from a local big box to test, and it spins slower, which led me to believe it's how it works and not how my circular sander does. It was sanded with a surfboard and is perfect. Having a nice weight makes the tool apply pressure well. Its specs go up from 7K to 12K. I had to dial it up to get the same slow RPM's, but the noise was off-putting when it was working. Does it seem that I got a lemon or is this the way it is supposed to be? As you can see, the large variable sander goes from really slow to really fast. I will send it back. Even though at setting 6, there was a powerful sound produced. It is impressive, but the RPMs fail to.
Since never having corded orbital sanders, I haven't had any problems. When using my older dewalt, the blade would stop spinning when I pressed it against a surface. In some cases, it happened, and in others it did A few months ago, I bought an orbital corded Bosch because I was tired of it. Yet there are times when I just need to pull out the sander and use it right away. This sander fitted the bill because I own a lot of Milwaukee cordless products. I've never had an orbital that was as good as this one. It's hard for me to get used to the ergonomics, but I know it's something I'll have to get used to. You are likely not to like this if you are used to the old design. I tried it the other day, but the next day I did not want to stop. There is nothing I love more than this. It is waiting for the time to be able to be hooked up to my large dust collector.
We will not be able to provide the set We've got a bag, battery, and charger!.
Milwaukee tools are my favorite and I have a lot of them. Despite the fact that this sander works great, I find it to be extremely awkward to hold. And I'm 6'2" with XL gloves on my I'm keeping the cordless DeWalt, but I still use my old corded DeWalt for bigger projects. It's just a poor design that makes it difficult to handle for any length of time.
There is something wrong with the balance of this sander when the M18 battery is In a similar vein, another buyer noted that the grip was too thick for grasping, which contributes to its feeling of unbalance. Further, the on/off switch should be on the front and not the side of the grip. It is a bit tricky to slide the two fingers or thumbs between each other, so just use both As a Milwaukee design engineer, I expect everything to be top-notch. However, the tool I saw fell far short of my.
As good as it feels in the hand and suckes dust like a fiend, it's great. I currently have a number of Milwaukee M18 and M12 tools and do not have any complaints about any of them except for one, for which Milwaukee repacked it without question. Using an M18 5 amp hour battery, I can run the unit for about an hour. The battery in my DS is more than 5 amp hours, so I can use it all day if I have to. As I write this, my DeWalt ROS is sitting in its It looks like I'll sell it instead. Although I've had my DeWalt for many years, this one is more reliable. I like the top because it fits my hand better and probably due to the battery weight it vibrates much less, plus it sucked up dust a lot In addition, this tool comes with a vacuum attachment, something the DeWalt does not have. Additionally, I don't want to deal with cords anymore. I was disappointed that it did not come with a tool holder and that it is taller than the DeWalt box, so I would not be able to reuse it. My purchase did not include a charger or battery, although I am not sure if the ones that come with a battery or charger come with a bag. The money is well spent.
Since we already have several Milwakee batteries and chose not to order another, we opted to order the products without an additional I was able to use each battery for about an hour and a half. The sandpaper provided a very comfortable grip, and it did a great job on sanding a table with biscuit joints made of 4x4s.
Since I have been in collision repair for over 20 years, I have used a variety While a little heavy due to the larger battery, much larger than what I am used to, it performs better than any air D/A I have tried. If you have a tight garage and need a lot of space, this is no slouch in handling even rust on 70 year old Chevys! Yes, I know it's BS. You can judge it for yourself once I post a couple of photos to this after the weekend. I am very happy with this purchase.
