DEWALT DWE6411K 1/4 Sheet sander
Whether we are working on cutting boards or bar tops we always end up reaching for a palm sander at some point. There are many different types of sanders out there (random orbital, quarter sheet, etc) but this DeWalt 1/4 sheet sander is our go-to workhorse. We have run this little sander for 3+ hours straight on multiple occasions and it has never given even the slightest bit of trouble.
It’s a fantastic tool to help you with any project. Refinishing some furniture? Yep. Need to repaint the porch? Absolutely. Considering making your own cutting boards? Good to go. If you or someone you know is just starting out in woodworking (or maybe just buying their first house) this is a great gift idea. It’s incredibly versatile and is worth its weight in gold. The retail price for this sander is right around $50.00 but can be found a little cheaper on sale. If ours ever does break you can be assured I will be replacing it with the exact model within hours.

The DEWALT DWE6411K 1/4 Sheet sander combines many end-user driven features and benefits. We have reduced the overall height of the unit, while keeping a powerful motor. We have also been able to reduce the vibration and wobble for improved comfort when sanding. The new paper clamp system was created after feedback and frustration that users had with the current wire form system. The new system works with a front button and a paper tension system with the back paper clamps.
