Summary: 5 Stars
This sander is clearly a design cross between a WW-I tank and The Little Engine That Could. It is not a DIYer's everyday sander, I'd say more along the lines of a wood grinder of sorts. It is big and heavy for a hand tool and I do believe the guy who said he let it pull him from room to room. So, lift it up, turn it on, and hang on as you lower it onto your pet project. Tilt it a little and there goes the neighbor-wood.
Being new to belt sanders I needed the low speeds to get a handle on this monster. I first saw mine on a discount table at Home Depot, it having been removed from the display shelf. Having no price on it had me asking a clerk if it might be possible to have it priced for me. "Maybe." was the answer and ten minutes later up comes Big Don. "What is the price on this?" I asked. "I don't even know what it is!" mumbled Big Don. "It's a belt sander." I explain. "I KNOW THAT!!" Big Don yells, "I mean I don't know the PRICE!" "I know THAT." I say, trying to stay cool. Big Don goes to look for the display model that I have in my hand and not seeing it he notes the price of the 3"x21". "I can give you 15% off of the $165 price." Big Don says. "What? With no case or dust bag you can't give me 20%?, I plead. "No I can't, if you want more off you will have to talk to the Manager" "Well, OK, 15% off is better than talking to someone smarter than you." I almost say.
That was my reason for choosing this sander, but I am very glad it happened, as I am well pleased with it. It is very easy to use (though it takes practice to use it right) and very, very well built. I expect to have it until way after Big Don quits Home Depot and goes to work for McDonalds.
