My DTS 400 arrived last week. I couldn't wait for it's delivery. I affixed the P120 sheet that came with it, hooked up my Midi, turned the suction down, and grabbed the nearest piece of lumber. 1x4 poplar.
I was surprised at how I couldn't control it. I turned the Midi all the way down and.... for me... it still bucked and vibrated far more than I expected for a 2mm stroke with P120 on relatively soft lumber. I turned the speed up and it improved a bit. I was expecting the fine glide that I get from my ETS 150/3. The DTS 400 feels like manual steering vs the power steering of the ETS 150/3. I don't care for the ergonomics either. It's taller than I expected.
I know I'm the only guy on the forum that doesn't like this sander. What am I missing?
