- great tool
- This was a great tool and a good transaction overall. I used this while painting my bathroom and it worked great.

- Haven't used yet, amazon hasn't helped
- I really don't know how many stars to give this sander. I'm sure that it does work awesome. However, when I purchased this item, I was told that the punch plate was included- it wasn't. I have emailed amazon twice about this issue, and have received no reply. So as far as the tool, I don't know. As far as the customer service for Amazon, I give them 0-1 stars.

- Best Orbital Sander I Have Ever Owned
- I actually used this sander extensively last night to sand down some rough wall texture. I didn't have any problems at all with the sander, and am very happy with the purchase.
My sander did come with the punch plate, which is needed to make holes in the sander so that the bag will catch the dust.
I also found that it is the perfect size to get 4 separate pieces of sand paper for use with the sander out of a single large piece of sand paper. - 2007-06-08, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Punch Plate Now Included.
- Perhaps Hitachi listens to its customers, because the Sanding Sheet Punch plate was included with mine, purchased from Amazon in Feb '07.
It is a nice random orbit sander and I like that it takes standard sanding sheets. - 2007-03-31, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Sands fine, but I'm still not happy...
- I bought the Hitachi SV12SG in March 2007. Contrary to the experience of several earlier reviewers, I received a sturdy metal punch plate. The good news: It sands. The bad news: 1/4 of a standard sheet of sandpaper will not quite reach the clamps. So, unless you plan to use adhesive-backed sandpaper, take a pass on this baby. Or, use my plan of using it in tandem with a Porter-Cable sander, which will handle the slightly undersized sheet that will be left after I cut an over-sized one for the Hitachi. Another fix might be to replace the pad with a thinner one, but that's a job for Hitachi, not the purchaser.
Other observations: The dust collection system works well, although the bag is pretty chintzy. The On/Off slide switch is well-positioned--but it doesn't have much of a surface to push on and mine is so stiff that it's difficult to work with the intended finger-flick; I have had to turn the running sander around and push the switch with my free hand. Perhaps the switch will loosen up with more use. - 2007-03-18, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
