Don't remember the number but I have the BOSCH 6" random orbital. Great
but unsure it was worth the amount i paid for it. The barrel handle is a
tad too big to comfortably hold and the dust collector works ok. The two
operating modes (direct and slip drive) are nice but i usually only use
it in direct drive for grit 80, 150, 220 and then go to a scrapper.
The best feature is the cling on sanding pads, which once you've tried
it, you'll never want to go back to PSA. Only problem is that few places
sell 6in disks, THE SANDING CATALOG being the best.
Which ever you choose, they are way better than the old style sanders
of yesteryear.
By the way, Fine Woodworking and a review of randon orbital sanders
earlier this year.
