These work great. Again I replaced our sander that we have had for a few years.
Yes I would recommend this to a friend. The Porter-Cable 6 inch variable speed random orbit sander has performed outstanding as both a sander and buffer.
this is a well balanced, relatively vibration free tool. i have the smaller porter cable RO sander but find myself using this one more. for you car nuts, it comes with a buffing attachment so you can use it in that capacity too this is a very nice tool. it removes stock quickly yet no swirls are apparent.
I have had problems with the switch. They appear easy to replace.
btw, I have large hands and don't grip the tool too tightly - no problem with my wrists.This is a follow up. Last note: a 5" disk is only 70% of the size of a 6" disk, so you have a lot less abrasive on the work surface.
I have had the 7336 for 10-13 years and I too have stopped using my belt sander. I think I'll buy a couple of switches.
The problem was caused by worn out brushes-blush-not the switch. It removes stock rapidly, yet is easy to control which is great when being used by unskilled employees.
I think it gets fouled with the dust as I "fixed" it one time just by blowing the switch with compressed air for 30 seconds.
It is easy to handle, easy to change discs, and if you need it in a tight spot, the handle comes off in seconds.

Just as I expected, it works great.
