Porter-Cable 390K 5-inch Low Profile Random Orbit Sander Kit with Hook & Loop Pad and Dust Collection customer reviews: Like it a lot I'm a little baffled by the reviewers who said this sander was difficult to use unless you have large hands. I'm a 5'7", 125 pound gal who has what I think are normal size hands for the rest of me, and I have no problem at all using this sander. It's much lighter and less bulky than the machine I've been using (a Bosch). I work on wooden boats, and I think this is a great addition to the tool closet. The dust port is easy to hook into our existing vacuum system. It's one of the better adapters I've come across. I like that the speed adjustment dial is where it is. I hate turning the sander speed down inadvertently, just in the course of using the machine. This happens regularly with my Bosch and it drives me nuts. If I do want to adjust the speed, it's not difficult do so. I love the electric brake; it makes changing sanding discs much quicker. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to have quite the guts of the Bosch. I'll have to do some side-by-side tests when I've got some time to play, but my first impression is that it takes a little longer to do what I normally do. I don't understand how this could be, because the amps are comparable, as are the orbits per minute. It's possible that it's so much lighter and less bulky that I just think it's not as aggressive. I have a normal deficit of patience and I have a hard time making myself turn the Bosch down, even when I know I should. So maybe having a slightly less aggressive machine will save me from myself. I know my shoulders like it better. All-in-all, I think it's a great sander. And I don't think you have to have large hands to use it comfortably. The Best Dust Remover In many of the reviews some say the Dust Vac does not work properly. Well I remove the canister and hoop up the Car cleaning kit Craftsman #16994. The hose is 11 foot long. It works great. Great sander I love this sander. After wearing out two other brands over the years I thought I would research my next sander. Wood Magazine's October 2008 rating as a Top Tool made it an easy choice for me. This sander is easy on the hand as well as the ear. I was very surprised at the quality of the dust collecting sleeve. It's not a fabric pouch like all the other's I've owned. I can sand inside for much longer than I was able to do with other models. Porter-Cable a winner Very little dust, glass smooth surface and it stays cool in your hand. what more can you ask for? Nice Sander I have owned a Porter Cable 333vs random orbital for some years, and enjoyed it, but was taken with the new format of the 390K. I have wanted a second random orbital but did not like the 343 follow-on to my original as it was top-heavy and I didn't like how it felt. So I bought the 390k and am generally happy, especially because it hooks directly to my Fein vacuum without the adapter that the 333 (and my 340 finish sander) requires. It has about the same power as the 340, and the low format enables me to get into some places on furniture where the 333 won't go. About my only (minor, very minor) complaint is that the 390 does spit a bit more dust to the perimeter of the disk than my 333 does, but that's nothing next to the overall quality of all Porter-Cable tools, and my newly acquired convenience of having different grades of sandpaper mounted and ready to go at the switch of the vacuum hose.
