 Best sander ever used December 1, 2008
Ronald D. Pignolet (Foster RI)
I bought this sander based on a review I read in a wood working magazine That i subscribe to . I have had several other sanders ,Porter Cable , Ridge , Makita, and this is by far the best I have ever use. I read a few reviews that said it was to big and bulky to grip , but I don't fell that is an issue at all. The best part is very little dust goes out into the air . I have mine hooked to a craftsman sander vac . It also collects great with it's own dust collection . I have always like Porter Cable products but this is one of their best. One con a little pricey . I did a lot of research and everybody is charging the same . Porter Cable must be controlling the price . If money is not an issue , buy this sander .
Nice Sander November 16, 2008
John Dickinson (San Rafael, CA)
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.

Great sander October 29, 2008

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.

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.
