A hot deal and a great tandem for woodworkers, this combo delivers DeWalt's DW682K plate joiner kit and the DW421 random-orbit sander. The plate joiner features a stout, dual-rack-and-pinion fence that operates with striking smoothness, locks tightly in place, and ensures that the joiner's blade and fence are always parallel--which means accurate joints every time. It's also the only plate joiner on the market with a fully adjustable tilt fence: the face plate tilts 0 to 90 degrees, so you can join work at whatever angle the job requires. Cabinetmakers will appreciate the convenience of being able to make flush cuts at 0 degrees without having to remove the fence. The 6-1/2 amp motor spins the tool's carbide blade at 10,000 rpm, making remarkably quick, clean cuts. DeWalt's 5-inch random-orbit sander has a 2 amp motor that provides 12,000 orbits per minute, with a 3/32 orbit diameter, and its finishing system maintains consistent control over the pad speed, minimizing gouging at startup. The dual-plane counterbalanced fan helps minimize vibration, and the dust canister uses a simple and effective twist-lock mechanism to prevent air pressure from popping the canister off. The package includes the plate joiner with a 6-tooth carbide blade, dust bag, dust deflector, vacuum adapter, Torx screwdriver, wrench, and carrying case, and the 5-inch random-orbit sander with a dust collector, vacuum attachment, and carrying case. --Jon Groebner
