Great value, with some caveats.
1 of 1 found this helpful The belt is very stable and steady. For my knife making use it's saved me dozens of hours in just one weekend! It's even better than the higher end sanding belt at the forge I go to, for everything except heavy duty stock removal. Very good for shaping.
There's 2 caveats:
1) Replacing the belt or the disk sander requires a screwdriver to remove all the safety plates. Fortunately they're not really necessary (at least not the ones on the belt, I haven't tried the disk yet), so if you leave them off it doesn't hurt anything. That said, the large plate in front of the belt sander does get in the way. There's a smaller one that isn't shown in the picture that also works and doesn't get in the way.
2) The platen is a bit oversized and has rounded edges. That's fine for flat surfaces but if you want to work on a corner or plunge that's a no-go. I've been told by several people that you can simply epoxy a metal plate to the platen to get nice right angles out of it and it works fine. I haven't tried yet but it's on my todo list.
It is a bit loud, and of course throws dust all over, but that's what you'd expect from a belt sander. Overall, very happy with this purchase (with the caveats above). I expect to use it quite a lot.
