Reviews for Milwaukee 6020-21 1/4 Sheet Palm Sander:
Excellent sander,however the paper changes are the poorest I have experienced. Very difficult to open and insert new sheet.
The rear clamp for the sandpaper interfers with the dust collector so that it is very difficult to change the paper. The front clamp is so tight that it takes a good effort to clamp the paper to the pad.
As a professional woodworker& teacher,I was disappointed by the inaccurate description of this tool as a RANDOM ORBITAL sander,which it is not.
I never sanded anything with this sander,because I have already have several orbital pad sanders and a 5" porter Cable Random Orbital sander,and thought this little Milwaukee unit would be a welcome addition to my stable. Wrong!
As always,Amazon was good about paying for the return . . . . But do NOT waste your time on this tool,if you too are considering it on the basis of it being a RANDOM orbital machine!
I bought this sander and read the manual on how to load the sandpaper. It seems that if you remove the plastic off of the sandpaper clamps and then understand that the handles are actually lift bars to open the sandpaper clamps,then you will be able to load the sandpaper easily and you will be very happy with this sander. The documentation must have been written by a technical writer and not someone that actually used the product. Otherwise it seems to be a great sander. Just what the doctor ordered.
I have always been a big fan of Milwaukee tools and own many. I have several palm sanders including DeWalt and Porter Cable. My Porter Cable finally died after a few years of heavy use and I purchased the Milwaukee 6020-21 1/4 sheet sander since I liked the direct vacuum hose attachment.
The design is terrible. It is nearly impossible to get the sandpaper below the clamps,it almost takes two people. The vibration is awful,the unit is noisy and too heavy. I tried it for 5 mins and packed it up to return to Amazon. In the dozens of tools I bought from Amazon,this is my only return.
Frankly,I was shocked at such a failure by one of the finest tool makers on Earth. Nobody is perfect. Better luck next time.
