Porter-Cable 121 6 Amp Hand Held Oscillating Spindle Sander 
2006-11-10
This is an outstanding tool for the shop. I find myself using it more and more. I have just purchased the #698 table to extend the use of this tool.
The dust collection feature is one you will more than appreciate.
Overall this tool is worth the money.
Good sander 
2006-05-01
The is a well built sander. The portability makes it easy to use on large pieces. The one thing that I would recommend is to have a handle. This sander is somewhat bulky and a handle would make it more ergonomic. If a handle were to be added, I would rate it five stars.
Porter Cable has done it again 2005-11-30
I bought this about 8 months ago from amazon.com and so far I really enjoy the product. I expected nothing less from Porter Cable. The 121 is very well built and feels very sturdy. It is heavy which to me shows good quality. I have a table top spindle sander and I couldn't see being without a portable one now. Good buy and a great tool.

Works as advertised. Is indespensible for a small woodworking shop.
good tool 2005-08-14
tool feels a bit heavy as you unpack it. however in use you quickly find that the weight is an asset as it helps with control.
draw backs:
not offered as a kit. with case and different size spindles.
if it had been i would have bought it and given it a five star rateing.
as i said good tool. it does just what it was desined to do, help you sand curved edges, and keep them square to the face

Great sander 2008-01-12
This is a great idea for anyone with limited space or not.
I rate the tool as sold. Yes it should have a case and yes it should come with all the different drums. Get over it because they are not included.
The tool is very easy to use and the vacuum attachment works great.
One thing I would like to see porter cable make the router table plates for other router table tops.
Update: Benchdog did carry a router table plate so I could mount the sander in my router table. I also found it is much easier and cheaper to buy the 9" sanding tubes and cut them in half.
Comes with one spindle 2007-12-11
Delta 31-781 Sanding Spindle Set for 31-780 B.O.S.S. Spindle Sander
This sander comes with one 2" diameter spindle. If you need other sizes you must buy them (follow link above) . This spindle set is for the Delta BOSS but it fits the PC sander as well .The set includes some some table inserts and a couple of plastic parts holders. $65 is too much for the 5 sections of rubber tube (spindles) that should be included with the machine.
The machine is great for sanding large irregular sheets of plywood in preparation for edge tape. You can maintain a square edge (90 deg.to the face )
Get 50 or 80 grit for plywood edges,150 and 120 grit are too slow.
The dust pick is built into the base. It captures maybe 70% of the dust generated when connected to a dust collector or vacuum. The 1" vacuum hose is not included either.
I prefer this to a benchtop or cabinet spindle sander 2007-10-29
If you want to use it like a benchtop spindle sander for small pieces, turn it upside down and clamp it to a couple of sawhorses.
Porter cable 121 Hand Held Oscillating Spindle Sander 2007-10-01
This was my first time using this sander and I must say I was very happy with its performance. The sander was easy to control and had pleanty of power. If you have edge sanding to do, and you can't bring the project to the sander because of it's size, this sander is the ticket. I couldn't have finished my project with out it.
Great Sander, needs a case 2007-01-22
This is a very good sander, and I would expect that from Porter Cable, however, to get five stars from me, they better make a case, I will keep it in the PC box that it came in, but that won't last long because it is cardboard.
Very well made machine, works great!!
