It has been a few years since using a belt sander and I was a bit concerned with the quality of a $100 belt sander… Well, I am happy to report this sander worked perfectly right out of the box. No issues with the belt, it stayed in place, and replacement was a breeze. I am very happy with the purchase. The dust collector worked pretty darn good too… Not as good as having a vacuum hose attached, but I am not complaining in the least. Very happy with the purchase and made my project go smoothly. Hopefully will be using it soon. It is a keeper and great for a homeowner that does not need to use on a daily basis. But I am sure it would hold up well for frequent use if the operator does not abuse it.
