5 stars Price: $247; Metabo Test results: Left a first-class, no-swirl finish with all grits on
all three woods. 80 dB. Dust collection: excellent. My two cents: "This is the quietest sander, with no excessive vibration. It has two sanding modes: one with a ¼-inch orbit pattern for rough work, and another with ⅛-inch orbits for finish sanding. A 'turbo' option boosts sanding speed even higher." Tool stats: 4.9 pounds, variable speeds, 13,100 max rpm, 8-foot cord.
