I refinish furniture. I have about 10 sanders that I use to strip and refurbish old pieces of furniture. This sander is my favorite of them all. It gets into places other sanders never dreamed of. The sandpaper rolls that fit the profiles doesn't last long but the heavy duty pre-cut profile sanding sheets do last long. This sander eliminates tons of extra work for the furniture refinisher.

Dear Fellow woodworkers:I just purchased a Porter Cable 9444vs detail sander. I was hesitant to buy it because of all the poor reviews. I decided to borrow one before I bought one of my own. I am restoring an oldcape cod & need to do alot of sanding on doors & windows that I have either stripped or burned to remove paint. This tool is perfect for this job. I can get into tight corners. I can slow it down with the variable speed & it is easy to control and does not gouge the work. I must suggest that the other reviewers are not giving this tool a fair chance. It works quite well on my oldfireplace mantel and inside corners on the old baseboard. It doesa fine job on old exterior window sills where they meet the jambs. Overall I am very happy with this tool, I would recommendit to anyone, but you must remember to take your time and let the tool do the work. By the way, you can run it for hours and itdoes not heat up. Nice job, Porter Cable

bought this unit from a local home improvement center. I took advantage of the 30 day satisfaction guaranty and returned it.The hook and loop pad came apart after one hour. The sand paper for the profile parts would only last a minute before it wore out. After that it left black rubber marks on my work. It was very uncomfortable to hold. It has a variable speed control on it. I would suggest using Slow! This model does not come with the vacuum hose attachment adapter. I can't believe it is a Porter Cable.I am going to try a B&D Mouse instead.
Needs improvement!
