re: Porter Cable 5" Random Orbit Sander

Keith,

I just purchased the PC ROS Model 382 last week at Menard’s while it was on sale for $39.97. I wasn’t entirely excited about the dust configuration since it won’t be easily adapted to a shop vac connection. How is the dust collection working for you? It felt like I might be able to handle it with my small hands when I looked it over in the store. My $9.99 off-brand ROS that I bought 3 years ago from Menard’s is sounding like it could quit soon, but for the price maybe 3 years isn’t too bad.

I’ve been too busy working on 75th wedding anniversary invitations to put the Porter Cable to use yet . . . and, no, I haven’t been married for 75 years yet, but my parents have!
