Hi all, I have been reading a LOT of reviews on these 2 sanders: Dewalt & Makita. They both have variable speed features which I understand is needed for fret work mainly due to the ability to slow the sanding speed down. I have never had an orbital sander. Would you please give me a little advice so I don't buy something I get stuck with? I figure If I have not needed an orbital sander before, I don't see myself getting any more powerful sanders than these. Reviews for the Dewalt are great except most of the reviewers didn't like the fact that Dewalt's vac connection is proprietary and a regular vac hose did not fit. Reviews for the Makita are even better except almost all reviewers complained about the dust bag blowing off by itself and making a mess. Here are 2 links to the 2 sanders I am considering: Sorry for the long explanation. I appreciate your comments if you have any of these. Thank you all DEWALT at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWE6423K-Variable-Random-Sander/dp/B00ZTPCLZ8 MAKITA at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Makita-BO5031K-5-Inch-Random-Sander/dp/B002FJYE0G/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1485832704&sr=1-1&keywords=BO5031K Sam
