sander advice??

[kerneltugboat]

I just bought the Porter cable 7336SP on e-bay for about 90 bucks. I bought the dust collection kit for about 30 bucks on amazon.com. There is a model 97336 that comes with the dust collection kit for about 160 on e-bay with a case. See If the 97336 comes with the hook and loop pad (The 7336 comes with the stick-on pad, so that was another 20 bucks for the hook and loop. You can also buy a 6" hook and loop backing pad to use for polishing pads and bonnets (18002) is the number, the 6 inch hook and loop sanding pad is (18001). The sander works great, not as powerful as my Pneumatic DA, but I don't have to wait for the compressor. I use the Air DA to take of bottom paint, and the porter cable to smooth things out.
