Review on Bucktool BD4801: Power Your Projects With A Bench Belt And Disc Sander by Shane Yay

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent value, upgraded version

I did a ton of research before purchasing. Looking to get into entry level knife making. I had been looking in the wrong place. I was looking for a 2x42 and they are either affordable, but seriously underpowered, or way out of my budget.I just happened to broaden my search when I found this. Much more power then the 1/3hp 2x42 and a large disk. Some reviews said the disk was very bent. I looked into the company and they corrected the issue by adding a steel plate for shipping only. That's awesome for an import.My only complaint so far is that one of the threaded holes for the handles wasn't threaded all they way through. I'll have to run a tap to fix it. Not a deal breaker. So far , I recommend.

Pros
  • Effective dust collection system for a cleaner workspace
Cons
  • The machine can vibrate quite a bit during use, which could be a problem for people with sensitive hands
