Talking about good orbital sanders, there happens to be a wide array of options. However, apart from being expensive, they also happen to be pretty noisy. People don’t like noise, so they switched to this version.
The manufacturers know for a fact that nobody likes slow performance. So, they made sure that their products, most especially this one, are made for speed. This is one of the many reasons why people are practically obsessed with it.
Comfort and Ease of Handling
Ask anyone about the SKIL 7490-01, and they will all tell you the same thing about it: that it is full of hard work. The manufacturers managed to eradicate this problem with the integration of an ergonomic technology which will enable you to handle and work the sander more comfortably and easily.

Speed dials are one of the most important components of the SKIL 7490-01. If you are unlucky enough to come across one that is of poor quality, then you are a goner. No need to worry about that here since the speed dials are pre-selected so that you won’t have any problem working the machine.
Efficient Dust Collection System
Dust is one of the many things that can cause a machine to stop operating. The manufacturers thought of this beforehand, which is why they did not release this product without integrating dust suctions and dust filter systems to keep the dust where it won’t bother the machine and its operation.
Apart from the facts stated above, the SKIL 7490-01 Orbital Sander Model is also pretty lightweight. With that, you will have no problem carrying it with you wherever you go.
