## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Economical Sander
*by B***. on February 3, 2010*

I was looking for a edge sander and a spindle sander,and this did both. It was hard looking at the product description,and guessing about things, so I took a chance and bought it. I figured that I would have to rework some things (and I did), but for the price I didn't mind.I didn't use it straight "out of the box", because I knew that I would have been disappointed. It seems like an excellent little sander for what it does. It is only for a hobby woodworker,nothing production.First, the stand is too short and lightweight,, so I made a new heaver stand. Also the tables are too light weight and flimsy. I made a one piece adjustable table,,soo much nicer. The dust cover and angle gauge are junk,so you can throw them away. But the body of the unit is heavy steel, and the tracking adjustment works good.I was going to buy a 6x48 sander, but this 4x36 seems to fit the bill. (along with the cost savings) I was also concerned about only a 1/3 hp motor, but I use mostly 3/4 stock, and it seems to purr right through it.Although I have only had this unit for a week now,I really like it. So if you don't mind spending a few hours "fine tuning" things, I believe this is a nice little sander for the money.

### ⭐ Disapointed in quality of product
*by R***H on May 1, 2012*

First off, when the box was delivered it appeared to have been opened and reclosed more than once. The box was in bad shape and I am hopeful it can hold the item for one more trip back to Amazon!All the parts were there and as quickly as I unpacked the sander I repacked it. I believe you get what you pay for but I was hoping this would be an exception to the rule, however, it was not. The sander is cheaply made with plastic components for guards and the metal square sanding bracket (made of cash iron) is way off "square". The bracket when tightened into place rubs on the sanding belt and if set in a position that will not rub on the sanding belt it will have no purpose. No amount of adjustment will make this sander work efficiently.

### ⭐⭐⭐ What is an Edge sander?
*by B***O on February 2, 2019*

I needed a good edge sander or as good as I could afford. Since the tariff war between China & the US, all tools have a bigger price tag. So I looked for used or what ever I could find, which amounted to nothing. I did buy one from a box store, but I couldn't keep the table level with the belt. I make cutting boards, one of the desgins I do is called a sun burst.The edges have to be perfectly square so there are no gaps or seams that become too noticeable. My son suggested a Shop Fox. I looked on line & sure enough here was one the correct size & price. Delivered in 2 or 3 days easy to set up, good table to belt adjustments, able to keep square. I did fine the motor under powered tho & would opt for more sanding area as this modle can handle about 9", 10"would have been better. Another thing besides the HP that I didn't like was if you took off the end cap, then there is nothing to hook your vac too. The end cap was the part where there is an extra table so one could do some contour sanding. Those are the reasons for a 3 rating.
