A P-C belt sander, 690 router, Rockwell (became P-C) router,P-C RO sander and a P-C 12 volt cordless drill. Check your new sander against my 20 year old like I did the 2HP router I bought and returned. The casting is a cheap POS and look at your platen, it's a thin POS. Now take a really accurate Starrett square to the frame the platen rides on, You'll have to spend an hour truing it!
MWAHAHA!
You won't have bar top sander races with this generation of sanders. The motors look like they came from Suzuki windshield wipers.
And the bearing in the latest production routers? Forget it.
The drill is 2 years old the plastic housing is cheap and something already is rattling around in there.
I bought nothing but P-C for over 30 years because it was the best. Now it's krap made by the People's Liberation Army Workshops.No mo' Porter Cable for me.
