First, and most important, dust collection is excellent when connected to a shop vac. Weight is sufficient to work without pressing down, which is a no no anyway. Ergonomics are superb, obviously a two handed operation. Stays in place when using stationary on it’s back. Surprisingly, it also works at a perfect 90 degrees on its side - a feature I’ve already used. Whoever designed this thing really put some thought into the engineering. Makes the heavier version (And the Porter Cable) seem clunky and Old fashioned.
So far I’ve worked with various grits, ranging from Klingspore’s 36 planer belt to regular 120. All worked well and tracked straight. I did bog down once with a low grit belt on low speed, indicating power is also reduced as speed goes down. Returning to normal solved the problem. No bogging at low speed with normal belts.
By the way, my first project was flattening a new 90” x 34” white oak table top. Got the job done quickly and professionally, even though some of the boards had to come down a 16th of an inch.
All in all, this is a fine tool at a reasonable price. I would buy it again.
I originally bought it to sand a floor. The floor dated to the 1930s and looked like it could be a nice floor, but part of it was covered with some kind of lacquer and part of it was faded thanks to 90-odd years of sunlight. The lacquer gummed up the sanding belts alarmingly fast but after scraping the worst of it away with a hand scraper the belt sander came into its own. Although the floorboards weren't quite level the sander did a fine job of stripping away the stain and the faded exterior of the wood, revealing a glorious golden color underneath.
It's a bit tricky to get right into the corners but for my purposes that wasn't an issue because I was sanding the floor before putting baseboards into place. I'd be a little cautious getting right into the corners if those corners were finished baseboards.
The next major thing I did with it was to strip and refinish a couple of cabinets. The first was a small bedside unit, the second was a large unit that I salvaged and that had been in a shed for decades. The bedside unit was pretty easy, it was just about stripping badly scratched finishes back to the bare wood so I could restain and lacquer it. The large unit took a while, as with the floor the paint gummed up the belts, but once the sander got going it ripped through the job easily.
If you take the bag off the back you can attach a shop vac hose in its place, which means you get less sawdust around whatever you're doing. Just be aware of the total current - I used sockets on different circuits to make sure I didn't overload anything.
Changing belts is about as easy as you could ask for. Emptying the sawdust bag is easy. The thing is reasonably quiet but if you're using it for any length of time, especially if you're running it with a shop vac, you'll want earplugs.
The weight distribution is good - I've found I can operate it one-handed and it shows no sign of trying to tip one way or the other. Before choosing this product I looked at a few others that didn't feel well balanced at all. You can also turn it upside down and use it as a static sander, moving a smaller workpiece over the belt. It's surprisingly stable.
It looks like replacing the brushes in the motor should be pretty easy. I haven't needed to do it yet but it seems like it's been designed to be easy to work with.
It does get warm if you run it for an extended period. I guess most things with motors do that.
