I found the 7335 to produce a swirl free finish and not to bog down. It also was very easy to change the self stick sanding disks instead of the hook and loop headache system. The power is a good length. The variable speed control was easy to adjust and I found the sander to be well balanced. It is definitely a pleasure to work with. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good finish on their projects. As long as Porter Cable continues in the tradition of producing great tools I will keep investing in them. This is one awesome sander.

good, high quality product

I am a professional cabinet maker, we have had a two of these sanders in use in my shop for several years now. Always reliable, with the exception of brushes wearing out about once a year or so. Fast stock removal, with a good overall finish quality. We use the Stickit style self-adhesive sanding discs, after a few thousand discs, the extra cost of hook/loop discs adds up. Stay with the hook/loop for small jobs though, once you take a self-stick paper off, it won't really stick right again. Highly recommended.

this sander may not be for everyone as you can take alot of material of very quickly...but thats why i love it. it dosnt leave you with a bunch of scratches either... turn down the speed and you can do some finish sanding as well. enjoy

My Porter Cable 7335 finally gave out. I've been a serious wood working hobbist for many years and this was one of the first tools I ever purchased. As I was taking this sander in for repair, I couldn't help but think just how hard this tool has worked for me over the last 16 years. I've probably used this tool more than any other tool in my shop over those years. It's been a real work horse! It's always been there to do the job, whether it be fast stock removal or fine finishing, without leaving unsightly swirl marks. Hurray for good old American quality built tools!

Excellent tool

I have owned this sander for over ten years now. It has seen countless hours of use on a variety of jobs, mostly auto body. Not all of those uses really what it was designed to do. After about 7 years of use and misuse the pad finally wore out and I upgraded the unit to 6 inch because the discs are easier to purchase in bulk that way. Still runs just like a top. Absolutely the best electric dual action sander for your money. Recently purchased the buffer/polisher for it so it looks like the unit will start getting used even more.

The only sander you will ever need

I have two of these great sanders. One is 10 years old and about worn out after thousands of hours of grinding with 24 grit ect., kept on board a boat for several years, dropped and beaten up ect. ect. It is still working without a hitch. All I can say is; what a work horse, I bought a new one just in case.
br /This machine only gets meaner when you push it into the work, and leaves only the very- very faintest of tiny swirl marks,conversely it can sand super smooth and can polish, a real work saver and a tough machine
