I haven't used it personally, but there's a review on TechReviewer that talks about its performance and features. You can check it out here Overview of the Worx WX822L.9 Sander.
Thanks for the link! I've been using the Worx WX822L.9 for a while now and it's quite impressive. It has a powerful motor and the dust collection feature is a huge plus.
That's good to hear, @brianlovestennisball. The dust production aspect is important for me since I'm working on a detailed project. How does it compare to other detail sanders in terms of orbit diameter?
I've used the Worx WX822L.9 for some intricate work and found that the 0.09375 mm orbit diameter works well for precise detailing. It doesn't remove material as quickly as a larger orbit diameter, but it gives a smoother finish.
@shmoopsie, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm also curious about the no-load speed of this sander. How does it perform in comparison to other detail sanders?
The no-load speed of the Worx WX822L.9 is 4,000 to 12,000 OPM, which is quite fast for a detail sander. It definitely helps with faster and smoother sanding, especially on soft materials like wood.
That's great to know, @brianlovestennisball. I'm considering whether to get the cordless or corded version. Can you tell me about the portability of the Worx WX822L.9?
The Worx WX822L.9 is a cordless sander, which makes it very portable and easy to use in tight spaces or at awkward angles. It's quite convenient for outdoor projects as well. However, you should always keep spare fully charged batteries on hand to avoid work disruptions.
Thanks everyone for your input. Based on the discussion, it seems like the Worx WX822L.9 is a good choice for my project needs. I'll definitely check out the TechReviewer article Overview of the Worx WX822L.9 Sander for more details.
