Got this on a great sale from Revain. The performance is excellent and it is very quiet. I have a Shop Fox oscillating spindle sander that is very noisy, but not this one. It actually has a deep, soothing sound that is soothing when sanded. The HP is durable enough and the sanding surface is sufficient for most projects. It's a little more expensive than some of the other disc mills but it's worth it and if you can get the deal even better!
