The Porter Cable 121 Six Amp Oscillating Spindle Sander allows you to sand aggressively without burning your materials. This lightweight, ergonomic, handheld sander features variable speeds between 2,400 and 3,600 RPM and 38-60 oscillations per minute. Its adjustable edge guide allows for easy pre-set removal of stock, and the one-inch vacuum port takes care of the dust and debris. The 121-spindle sander from Porter Cable is compatible with paper sizes from 1/2-inch to two-inches in size.

Great sander
»
This is a great idea for anyone with limited space or not.
I rate the tool as sold. Yes it should have a case and yes it should come with all the different drums. Get over it because they are not included.
The tool is very easy to use and the vacuum attachment works great.
One thing I would like to see porter cable make the router table plates for other router table tops.
Update: Benchdog did carry a router table plate so I could mount the sander in my router table. I also found it is much easier and cheaper to buy the 9" sanding tubes and cut them in half.

Delta 31-781 Sanding Spindle Set for 31-780 B.O.S.S. Spindle Sander
This sander comes with one 2" diameter spindle. If you need other sizes you must buy them (follow link above) . This spindle set is for the Delta BOSS but it fits the PC sander as well .The set includes some some table inserts and a couple of plastic parts holders. $65 is too much for the 5 sections of rubber tube (spindles) that should be included with the machine.
The machine is great for sanding large irregular sheets of plywood in preparation for edge tape. You can maintain a square edge (90 deg.to the face )
Get 50 or 80 grit for plywood edges,150 and 120 grit are too slow.
The dust pick is built into the base. It captures maybe 70% of the dust generated when connected to a dust collector or vacuum. The 1" vacuum hose is not included either.

I prefer this to a benchtop or cabinet spindle sander
»
If you want to use it like a benchtop spindle sander for small pieces, turn it upside down and clamp it to a couple of sawhorses.

Porter cable 121 Hand Held Oscillating Spindle Sander
»
This was my first time using this sander and I must say I was very happy with its performance. The sander was easy to control and had pleanty of power. If you have edge sanding to do, and you can't bring the project to the sander because of it's size, this sander is the ticket. I couldn't have finished my project with out it.

Great Sander, needs a case
»
This is a very good sander, and I would expect that from Porter Cable, however, to get five stars from me, they better make a case, I will keep it in the PC box that it came in, but that won't last long because it is cardboard.
Very well made machine, works great!!
