 Much less expensive at........ October 12, 2009
K. Wiggins (Garden Grove, CA)
IF you are ANYWHERE NEAR a Home Depot, buy this sander there.
This very same one is 69.00 + tax AND you get a very rugged
carrying case with it!!! It pays to shop around!
Great Sander! September 13, 2009
D. Crawford
I have had this about 2 weeks and it works great. Plenty of power, comfortable and smooth action. I had a two handed sander for several years and thought I could never use a one-hander - boy, was I ever wrong. Now I can hold my coffee cup! 12 foot cord - very handy. I just like everything about this sander. Don't settle for a cheap sander! Get a good one - like the Milwaukee 6021.
Impressed September 2, 2009

I bought this sander to do some finishing on a toybox and some built-ins. I am finding that I am buying more and more Milwaukee tools because I am impressed with their quality of build and performance. This sander met and exceeded my expectations. The dust collection is quite good, even using the little bag that is included. I used the hook and loop discs and found they lasted a long time without any uneven wear. Ergonomics were decent. I'm pretty excited to use it again. Watch the price on it, as there is some decent fluctuation.
Sands fast with good sandpaper, has good dust collection August 12, 2009

It's no surprise to anyone who has used sanders, but it is often overlooked; good sandpaper makes a huge difference. The two best sanders I have tried this year are the Bosch and this Milwaukee. I bought this one because it was on sale and the price was so attractive. Glad I did!
It works very smoothly, with little vibration. Even after marathon sanding sessions, I can still feel my fingers well enough to play some piano or guitar. The dust collection is great for a passive system; even better when attached to a shop-vac.
Tip: ANYTIME you sand painted or finished projects, use the vacuum. Finishes are full of stuff you definitely DO NOT want to breathe. The same tip applies to any project assembled with urea formaldehyde resin glues. That stuff can put you in the hospital. Formaldehyde is only safe for people who are already dead. ;-)
This sander is lightweight, starts smoothly and is easy to control. You can press a little without damaging a surface. Like all orbital sanders this one works better when you let the weight of the tool do the work. It is easy to "land" ( like an airplane ) so that you don't get divots. It is easy to to "take-off" without gouging your work-surface.
My wife appreciates how quiet it is, especially since I often work in the garage under our bedroom. The hook-&-loop sandpaper disks change quickly and easily. The bag is a trifle hard to evacuate. Here again, your shop-vac is your friend. Even when I sand outside, I still use the shop vac to remove as much dust as possible from the bag. That makes a BIG difference in dust-collection performance. That's true for any sander, but is especially so with passive collection systems.
I've only had this sander for a few months, but it shows the famous Milwaukee durability. So far, I've used it to complete nine fences, one custom cabinet, three pairs of speaker-cabs, refinished two garden benches, a pair of big game-boards and an antique piano bench. No problems so far. This machine works as advertised and is almost as smooth-quiet-fast as the Bosch for less money. I am very pleased with the performance at any price, and at the price I paid (fifty bucks), consider it a great value.
 Decent but honestly not the most ergonomic model May 31, 2009

Functionally thing thing works fantastically. My hands just don't seem to like it, though. I have slightly larger hands and find them getting tired and sore after using it for just a short period of time. I'm still in my 20s so I doubt it's arthritis already.
