From the Manufacturer
Throughout our orbital and random orbit line, the emphasis is on almost vibration-free performance. Tools are designed for toughness, rigidity and light weight, using magnesium, engineered plastics and other materials. Orbit mechanisms are engineered with ball and roller bearings to remove the maximum amount of stock while producing minimum vibration. Our SXE 450 is the world's first dual orbit, random orbit sander, with alternative settings for very high stock removal, and fine finishing. Many models have integrated dust collection systems. These tools use dust collection bags and punched sandpaper. Random orbit and dual random orbit models also have infinitely variable speed controls. And a complete line of Metabo abrasives is available to fit all of our sanders. Whichever sander you choose, you'll get the legendary Metabo advantages of power, longevity and balance. After all, we've been building tools since 1924. And for over 80 years, we've helped customers all over the world complete better quality jobs, with a lot more satisfaction. And a lot less down time.

UPDATE: 12-2019 Just received another replacement. 3 notable changes:1> BIG price drop from 220 ish to 174.00. Always makes me happy, especially considering no change in quality2> Changed pad to universal multi hole pattern, as shown in current images= more choices for paper3> Changed dust collection "filter" to a bag. Worth noting, the rubber insert for attachment is much easier to work with vs old clip/lock to handle apparatus. Moreover, that rubber collar is a dead match for the F@s tool vacuum hose connection, which I've been using for close to a decade with these sanders. So if you're still on the fence, price just got much nicer, and I would conclude the changes have made the device better than ever!Original review from 2018I'm getting ready to buy a 3rd one, as I've worn out my original one of 5+ years in my professional cabinet/furniture shop. Have a second on hand for backup and use in the field. Replaced brushes, pads in regular intervals, as expected. This one finally became unreliable in the orbit selection setting, thanks to multiple drops off the bench and sheer volume of running hours. I have bought the "other" green stuff, only to find their sanders are really good at generating swirls.Previously enjoyed the 5" Bosch R/O sanders, but wanted to reduce sanding time, as a 6" like this will do. This is the only one I found that performed as smoothly, leaving NO swirls, yet giving me the speed of a 6" sander. So:Longevity = very, very good.Performance = wonderful finishesComfort of use = Acceptable - reasonably smooth, moderate vibration I hope they keep making this model, as after this many years, I do not want to have to find another machine.Buy with confidence - Best bang for your buck, easy to maintain and will run comfortably all day.Enjoy!

I have been using this for a while so I guess its time for a review.Pros:PowerfulLittle VibrationLong CordTrigger LockDust collection from vacuumNoiseSpeed controlControl / BalanceCons:A little heavy for anything but flat workDust Collection from filter boxOrbit selector a little cumbersomeHard to know what circular pattern you are inSo with that being noted, there are lots of good things about this sander. The cons I listed are minor gripes, I contemplated giving this sander a 4.5, but in all honestly I cant so 5 it is. Its good and it works great.The sander has good power and it will take a LOT to stall it. It has great leveling power and leaves a very good finish. Let the grit do the sanding and just push this baby across the surface. Recommended for mid to larger jobs...you might want to have a 5" around for tighter, smaller places or vertical surfaces.I listed dust collection as a pro and con. The filter box left a little to be desired. I give it mix reviews...with some personal mods I was able to make it work better than the factory but I am still getting occasional blow by. For quick jobs I throw it on, but for any large work its vacuum only. Which does a fantastic job at collection.All in all, it came down to this or a Festool. I chose this to test out before buying the Festool and kept it. I have been rewarded with a great product at a very competitive price point. IMHO This is the 6" sander to beat on the market right now.

This sander is well balanced and one of the quietest I’ve used. There is actually four modes. There’s narrow oscillation and larger oscillation, and two speed modes, normal and aggressive. It’s still variable speed, so the normal and aggressive operate in any speed. The vacuum bag actually works and is easily emptied. But can be hooked up to a 1-1/8†shop vac hose pretty easily. It’s well built and the body doesn’t have any loose rattles, feels solid.

Very disappointed with this sander, it’s very underpowered even when you boost with turbo, been a woodworker for over 25 years and that’s the only sander I regretfully bought, it’s a expensive machine for don’t come with hard case. Pros: nice looking sander and feels really nice on hands and almost no vibration when working.Cons: underpowered, no hard casing, the two click on sander pad for fast removal is worthless.

I can say that it's not a Festool but for the money and what I am using this for it's great. I do only a few Corian seems a month. It has great balence and very easy to use. The dust bag work great. This sander would be a great choice for wood panel sanding and frames.
