Good quality parts with a pretty solid construction at this price point. Naturally, I’m sure there is better out there at higher price points, but for an entry-level machine, this thing is a beast
With the belt sander and the drum sander together in one machine it’s a real space saver, which is nice for my little workshop as every bit of space is important.
Pros:
*Compact design safe space.
*Dust removal port works brilliantly
*After many hours of use it has performed reliably, and appears to be pretty rugged.
*Great value and better than expected quality for this price point
*Built-in storage for accessories is extremely helpful.
Cons:
*Sometimes difficult to get the correct angle (I carve guitar necks and sometimes I need to get extreme angles to sand, and while the table tilts down it still gets in the way. I’m not sure if this is unique to my needs, but I thought it was worth mentioning)
* Easy to lose the little washers that secure the sanding drums.
*The unit will sometimes slide when I am applying pressure to the word piece against the sanding belt (the feet could be stickier, but I will probably put a rubber mat underneath it, and that should fix the problem).
The pros far outweigh the cons and I realize I’m being pretty nitpicky with those cons but I felt like I had to put something in there to balance it out, I have a fairly well stocked home shop and have been building guitars for several years, semi professionally out of all my tools, there are a handful of machines that are instrumental to building everything from Guitars to furniture to whatever assorted projects I come up with and this is definitely one of them.
10/10 would recommend! If you have any questions, I’ll do my best to answer them and I have an unboxing in video on Rumble. I tried to post it here, but it appears it was too large.
I hope this was helpful and leave a thumbs up if you found this review useful! Cheers and best of luck to you and your future projects!
