Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porter-Cable 362V 4-Inch by 24-Inch Variable Speed Belt SanderCustomer Review: Port-Cable 362V Summary: 5 Stars
I used this sander to refinish the pine floor in our cabin followed by a Waterlox finish. It is beautiful. This sander has good weight (for doing a floor) and seems quite well built. No downward pressure is required, just hold onto it so it doesn't go off to the races. With a floor, I would look at this as the minimum sander required. A dedicated floor sander that costs thousands of dollars would be better. The realty is that because of the weight, this may be the only time I use the sander. (I still saved a lot of money by doing it myself.) I doubt many other sanders of this type would do as well. I found 120 Grit sandpaper to be the best on my application. In places I started with 80 Grit, but it just meant more work re-sanding later with the 120. I rigged a hose to my shop vac and that really helped (it has a bag). You have to unclog the channel that takes up the sawdust from time to time, mainly because there's a lot of sawdust.
