well i got to take test drive last night,, as you folks have heard i had a death in my shop and have another on the last leg,,, it sputtering and wandering al over the work surface.. and once and awhile it coughs up some real fine black dust... on the back side of the disk... yup the pc333's are givin up the ghost... so i went tot he local woodcraft store last night and discussed witha very pleasent gentlman abotu a couple other issues i had and during the course of out discussion i he tlaked me into a test drive of a festool 125 sander,,,,, well it has absolutly no comparriosn to a pc333.. not even in the same race folks.. they had the sander and the vac going and the combined noise was less than half of what the pc have alone without the my vac noise...as for sanding job again i was impressed i generally use norton 3x or mirka paper frm klingspor i think. and this sander took a rough sawn surface to a smooth surface in way less time than my pc did when new,, and it done it with 120 grit???? so to say the least i was one very impressed guy with festools 125 sander... are there any others that have had the same observations!!! or am i just easily impressed???? or are the pc333 that bad???
