Review on Exploring the Versatile Shop Fox W1855 Horizontal Vertical Machine by Draven Invert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good buy! fits power tools

Came by hand from USPS and I used it on day one. Super easy setup. Much easier than from port freight. In my opinion, this option is much better and cheaper. It came with an 80 grit belt and 6 inch 80 grit disc and I tested it. It will get stuck if there is too much pressure on the strap, but I had to push it hard before it started to slow down. Nothing compares to a cargo platform in a port, where even the slightest pressure can bring it to a standstill. The 6-inch disc platform is made of aluminum and is relatively durable. (relative to the heights as that was the unit I replaced) It's almost 90 degrees from the disc but you have to check if you want a full 90 degrees. The angle sensor is made of plastic and the measurement marks are on the sticker. . It's fine, but I really don't intend to use an angle gauge for any finishing touches. I don't use the dust box on the back, but it's a nice feature for anyone who wants to install a vacuum system. I recommend buying this machine for little hobbyists like me when you may need long, medium sanding, but if you really need a powerful machine that does heavy sanding, this isn't the machine for you.

Pros
  • Table size: 6-1/4" x 9"
Cons
  • Available in black only
