this sander replace a crappy DeWalt that last for 2 seconds . and all I can say be : AWESOME ! the only thing I can think of that would prevent I give it 5 star be that it do not come with a case . for my first project , I make the beginner error by not secure the object that be go to be sand to the table . I think that since the bin be pretty big and heavy it would be fine but this sander shot the potato\/onion bin accross the workshop , so it do have more then enough power . after the Dewalt debacle , I will not buy anything else but Makita anymore . I have quite a few Makita tool for some year now and never ever have a problem with any of they .
