Quality sanders

Got Rigid, Porter Cable and Bosch all doing a good job.

Festool 5” ROS, rock solid and well built, I love mine and I’ll bet you won’t find better dust extraction either!
The disks are cheaper than most other (if you buy by 25’s) and last longer

I have been torturing a Porter Cable 5” for about 10 years.

I second Mark’s comment; Just got a Festool 6” for fathers day and was wondering were it’s been all my life. :)

They are not cheap; however neither is replacing equipment on a regular basis.

Take a look at the different reviews, here is the one I did: http://lumberjocks.com/reviews/377

festool’s nice! i saw that no one mentioned dewalt though, don’t forget about that.

I have a dewalt 5” ROS and have great results with it.

-- Steve-o

is it possible that you are leaning on the sanders?

That ruins them.

I just posted a review of the Festool 6” ROS, check it out. I am glad I bought it and expect it to by my last.

I beat the crap out of a DeWalt for a decade, only having to replace the pad assembly once. I just got a Bosch to replace it (got it on deep sale for 34 bucks!). Fine Woodworking gave the Bosch a great review for the most consistent scratch pattern.
