Review: DeWalt Orbital Sander - Has the quality you'd expect from DeWalt....very solid...sands well and easy to use. Review: Worked great for me. - I used the sander to refinish a maple table. I found the sander easy to use and effective. The dust collection is just okay. It will collect a good deal of dust, however there will still be dust everywhere. I used this inside of an apartment and my partner nicknamed me "little Chernobyl", after basically coating our apartment in dust. I don't think you can really avoid that though. Dust is small and is hard to contain. if you must work in an apartment like me, I suggest to do it in a small room and close all the doors. That will make clean up easier and contain the mess. You should also wear a face mask. It is especially bad to breathe in dust from sanding away wood coatings like poly. These can be very toxic. I wore gloves because the sander does make a bit of noise and feels scarily powerful in your hands. It helped buffer against the vibrations. I found that when I used the sander for a long time, my hands got really tingly. But most of the time this didn't happen. It only happened when I used it for a long time on the highest setting. The sander was very easy for me to use. Basically you have an on-off switch, a little dial which increases the strength of your sanding, and a removable bag that you twist off that collects the sawdust. I periodically dumped the bag out often, based on reviews here. Someone suggested to not let the dust accumulate too long because the bag could catch on fire. I assume this is from sanding a flammable coating. I did not experience any burning or burnt odors myself. I found that if you want to eat away at some wood in a concentrated area, you can slightly tip the sander on its side and it will dig into the wood pretty well. Not sure if this could be bad for your sander, but I did that and it worked for me when I wanted to remove the burnt area of the wood that went down fairly deep. I do not recommend buying the pads that come with the product. The reason I say this is because they are only one grit, and it is the lightest grit of sandpaper. This would be fine if you are only doing some light sanding. However, for most projects you will want a heavier grit too. So I suggest instead to get a wider range of grits. I purchased a set of sandpaper rounds ranging from 80(coarse) to 220(fine). I bought Mestool brand 125 mm 8 holes paper P-58 gold sandpaper Velcro. Overall, the sander worked really well. It nicely finished my table and I was really pleased with the results. ## Features - 3.0-amp motor of the orbital sander spins the pad at 8,000 - 12,000 OPM - Shorter height of the hand sander allows the user to get closer to work piece - Separate counterweight design reduces vibration for improved comfort of the electric sander - Rubber over-mold in all of the critical areas of the sander - Improved dust-sealed switch to protect against dust ingestion for longer switch life - Improved dust collection and one-handed locking dust bag - Dust port is designed to fit directly to the DWV010 or DWV012 dust collectors - To attach dust port to other vacuum systems with 1-1/4-inch hoses, use DWV9000 Universal Quick Connector ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | AC Adapter Current | 3 Amps | | ASIN | B00ZTPCLZ8 | | Amperage Capacity | 3 Amps | | Battery Description | Corded Electric | | Best Sellers Rank | #60,961 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #41 in Power Random Orbit Sanders | | Brand | DEWALT | | Brand Name | DEWALT | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,287 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885911350037 | | Grit Number | 1 | | Grit Type | Coarse | | Included Components | (1) Sander, Dust Bag, Owners Card, Carrying Case (bag) | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 10.38"L x 7.25"W x 6.2"H | | Item Type Name | 5IN VS RANDOM ORBIT H&L SANDER BAG | | Manufacturer | DEWALT | | Manufacturer Part Number | DWE6423K | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3 year limited warranty | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 12000 RPM | | Model Number | DWE6423K | | Power Source | Corded | | Product Dimensions | 10.38"L x 7.25"W x 6.2"H | | Shape | Rectangular | | UPC | 885911350037 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DEWALT - **Grit Type:** Coarse - **Power Source:** Corded - **Product Dimensions:** 10.38"L x 7.25"W x 6.2"H - **Voltage:** 120 Volts ## Images ![Orbital Sander Kit, 5-Inch, Variable Speed (DWE6423K) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7100SHWImzL.jpg) ![Orbital Sander Kit, 5-Inch, Variable Speed (DWE6423K) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IBBk69jQL.jpg) ![Orbital Sander Kit, 5-Inch, Variable Speed (DWE6423K) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QTMltBoCL.jpg) ![Orbital Sander Kit, 5-Inch, Variable Speed (DWE6423K) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wDxzx-ESL.jpg) ![Orbital Sander Kit, 5-Inch, Variable Speed (DWE6423K) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61At-cS+qxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: There are three different sanders, all seem the same but the prices are different - what am I missing?** A: The difference between this 6423 and the 6421 is this is variable speed, the 6421 is not. **Q: Has anyone had their new sander make a metal ringing noise when they first started using it? Sounds like the cooling fan rubbing on something.** A: check to see if sanding head screws are loose. One of my screws came out and it started making that noise. Do not run it, it destroys that piece between head and blade. **Q: Does this sander use hook and loop or adhesive disks?** A: 8 hole hook and loop sanding disks **Q: Does this have an 8 hole face?** A: Yes it has 8 holes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DeWalt Orbital Sander *by M***K on April 27, 2026* Has the quality you'd expect from DeWalt....very solid...sands well and easy to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great for me. *by K***T on August 15, 2019* I used the sander to refinish a maple table.

Especially when they're leaving a bad review. For me, I'm using this to sand wood surfaces in preparation for finishing/painting. I'm not shaping the wood with this at all. I'm removing tool marks and going through the grits to bring it up to a perfectly level and smooth surface. I also let the tool do the work for me. I guide it, I don't force it into my project with "elbow grease". For that purpose this has worked great. It is easy to control. If being super picky, when using grits below 180 this sander does grab the wood a bit more and it takes more effort to control, but I wouldn't say it is hard to do so. Above 180 it is beyond easy to control, taking two fingers to guide it effortlessly. The Hook and Loop works well for me and my sandpaper. It stays put, period. The dust collection works well but not fantastic. The bag comes off and goes back on super easy. The only thing I don't like is this sander doesn't have a "soft start", it just fires up full blast right away. Not a deal breaker for me, especially with it being balanced and light weight. But it would be super nice. The only other thing I wish was a wider RPM range. 4,000-12,000rpm would be fantastic to have rather than its 8,000 to 12,000rpm. But oh well. I'm happy with my purchase! ## Frequently Bought Together - DEWALT Orbital Sander Kit, 5-Inch, Variable Speed (DWE6423K) - WORKPRO 150-piece Sanding Discs Set - 5-Inch 8-Hole Sandpaper 10 Grades Include 60, 80, 100, 120, 150,180, 240, 320, 400, 600 Grits for Random Orbital Sander(Not for Oscillating Tools or Mouse Sander) - DWV9000 universal Quick Multi-Function Connector Fits Dust Extractors，vacuum hose, various DW tools & shrouds.
