Customer Review: Will Change the Way You Work.
Summary: 5 Stars
I do a lot of work with curves on 3/4" birch plywood that I later edge-band. I have a stationary spindle sander that I used to use to clean up the edges left by the jigsaw. I received my Porter Cable 121 midstream on cleaning up some of these curved pieces, so I opened it like a kid at Christmas and plugged it up to finish the job. Here's what I found:
First of all, the tool is quieter than I thought it would be. It's balanced well and easy to handle, and the variable speed makes it easy to get the results you want.
Secondly, it's 1" dust port does an excellent job when connected to a shop vac. There's a little dust on the floor, but less so than with my stationary spindle sander (which is connected to a central dust collection system).
But Finally, the edges that I get with this unit are less "wavy" than with the stationary unit. It's hard to control a big piece of ply while trying to get precise edges on a stationary sander, but with the PC, I just clamp the ply to the benchtop and get precisely the edge job I'm looking for. When the banding goes on later, you can definitely tell a difference in the way it adheres to the ply that's been edged with the Porter Cable unit.
In the last couple of years, several manufacturers have introduced hand-held tools that have taken over many of the jobs previously done on my stationary tools. Rail-guided saws and routers are some examples I can cite (without giving name brands). This Porter Cable Oscillating Spindle Sander is yet another tool that will change the work flow in your shop, and will yield better results on large pieces (countertops, etc.) than any stationary unit could provide.
I highly recommend this tool!
