: Thanks to everyone for the input. Loud doesn't bother me what
: bothers me is when I am using an orbital and start to push on
: the sander and the pad "stalls" is my term for it and
: with no exp. with electrics I was curious to know how this
: dewalt d26456/porter cable 390k model does under load as the
: write up claims it has some kind of a Electronic Load control
: that keeps the sander moving at a constant speed as you apply
: more or less pressure, as per...

: Damian any more info on the way this model handles? Does the sander
: keep going under pressure? Does it sand quickly and consistant
: or is it kinda like " man I wish this thing would just go
: already?" Finally is 3.5 amp good or should I be looking
: for more power?

The electric orbital sanders have different gearing from a pneumatic sander, they don't stall.

Shouldn't be pushing on them anyway, should let the weight of the sander do the work.
