Stop Whining

I saw this sander in the display at my local Lowe's and just had to have it. I've been a carpenter for over 25 years and know a good tool when I see one. Of course it's going to get hot your hands on top of the sander as apposed to in front of or behind the motor and heat rises. I don't have girly man hands so this is not uncomfortable. As far as the thickness of the top grip go's if it's to big for your little hands this might not be the sander for you. I took it out of the box as soon as I got home and put it to use. I'm glad I paid the $100.00 I did for it. It will pay for itself tomarrow then after that it's all profit. I recommend this sander for the proffesional carpenter that knows what he's doing just because of it's size it may not be suitable for first time users or unskilled home owners this is a pro grade tool and should be handled as such.

This sander arrived on my doorstep just hours before I started a project re-laminating a vanity counter top. I opened the box, switched belts and was sanding in under a minute. The flush side of the sander allowed me to sand right up to the backsplash and remove the old glue from the top.

The next job had me sanding the bottom rail of an above the fridge cabinet that the home owner wanted modified without taking it off the wall. With a larger sander, this would have been a real task. Holding the sander upside down at eye level, removing 1/2" from an oak rail was a breeze with this sander.

This is the perfect jobsite/small shop sander that payed for itself with two jobs and the included case is great for hauling the sander and extra belts.

Great tool

I purchased the sander on a whim. This is a great sander for certain jobs. The sander is small, has a narrower belt than other sanders, and can be controlled with one hand making this a great sander for delicate jobs that might require controlled material removal. I recently used it to sand flush 1/8" plywood glued as a back to a cabinent. I've used it to sand end grain boards that stuck out a little farther than desired. I did notice it becoming hot quick but my belt ran true once adjusted. If you have large panels to sand, buy a 3" or 4" belt sander. This won't replace your random orbit sanders either, but it has proven a very useful tool for certain jobs that other sanders can't perform.

Belt Sander

This is nice little sander for those occasions when you need something with lots of power in a one handed package. This sander is designed to be used when a palm sander isn't quite enough and a full size sander is overkill. It is still hard to find belts for it at this point and in fact hard to find the sander at all at most retail outlets. I ordered it through Amazon and am very happy with it
