I just bought a couple of new Milwaukee # 6078, 7" variable speed sander/grinders. $200.00 each. Get the 25' cord. The one it comes with 8' is too short. The cords just plug in with a quick release at the handle. Very nice!

This model is extremly light for 13 amp machines and are variable speed from 0-6,000 rpm. Very much a do it all machine, simply awesome!

These are fairly new models so I don't have a long term experience with them but I have had many Milwaukee's in use for decades, replacing only brushes and triggers till the machines totally died after thousands of boards many years.

I realize that cost is often a huge consideration but if you can scrape it together, Milwaukees are "forever" tools that you will easily get your money back over the long haul.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
