## Description

The DWE6041DS 5 inch VS Disc Sander with Dust Shroud delivers performance in high torque sanding applications with a 6 Amp motor to shorten sanding process. Mid-handle design with soft grip and side handle provides increased balance and relieves user fatigue. Option to connect dust shroud to vacuum collection improves work environment.

Review: A solid tool - This DEWALT sander is a real workhorse. It's got plenty of power to tackle tough jobs, and the variable speed control is a lifesaver. I especially appreciate the dust shroud – it keeps things much cleaner than other sanders I've used. The 5-inch pad size is perfect for most projects. Overall, a solid tool that's built to last.
Review: A Workhorse - This sander is a REAL workhorse. I'm using it to prep my old tongue-and-groove wooden porch floor for re-painting. It has done everything I have expected, and it has performed with consistency. I've never used 40-grit sandpaper before, but it is appropriate for this job; and the DeWalt has handled it without a problem. The variable-speed feature is easy to use. This is my first hook-and-loop sanding tool. I am now a believer. I never thought I'd use the left-hand / right-hand attachment option for the stabilizing handle, but I've run into a couple of situations where this feature has been very useful. Switching from one set-up to the other is quick and easy. For indoor use, I attach my shop vacuum = Very efficient dust removal.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What the 5 is the velcro pad, id like to switch be it with a psa pad. Or, had anybody done this successfully with what pad?**
A: Huh?

**Q: Can this be used as a polisher?**
A: Yes, this sander can be used as a polisher. However, you must be very careful; this tool has tremendous power. Start by doing a polishing test on an item that you don't mind messing-up.

**Q: Is the extra grip detachable?**
A: Yes, the grip simply screws off the body. Also, the body has two threaded holes for attaching the grip: one for right-handed use and the other for left-handed.

**Q: What's the difference between this and the D26451?**
A: This one is not random orbit, like the D26451.  It also has a more powerful motor, but I find the D26456 to be the best sander.  Definitely buy one with a variable speed, like D26453K over the D26451.  I returned this model quickly and rely on D26456 for woodworking and home improvement where I need a nice finish.   This model definitely didn't come close to meeting my needs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't Hesitate! This sander is awesome!
*by A***S on November 12, 2023*

I cannot believe i wasted years with orbital disc sanders. This is a rotary sander which aggressively sands any surface. It is a take down sander and can be used for fine finishing with slow speed and fine grit sand paper. Mostly I would say its a first coat rough sander to get the job done in a 1/4 of the time with a orbital sander. Sad I didn't get this years ago!!! But better late than never! Buy this sander if you are into serious work, you will be well pleased.
