This grinder works great. I ordered a whole set of sanding discs for my old sander, but I have found that my old sander doesn't accept velcro (velcro) like most modern sanders do. Since all I can easily find is a Velcro design, I've decided to buy a new grinder. I don't use my grinder very often, but when I do I want to make sure it lasts and works well. Black and Decker is a cheaper name but still famous so I bought it. I can safely say I'm satisfied, especially for this price. I like that there is no off switch. The entire top is a switch! This makes it easier to turn on and off as well as lock. This is an 8 hole grinder and most grinders and discs have 8 holes anyway. The only downside I see, and it's not that big of a deal, but emptying the dust box completely is a headache. I shook this thing out forever, and the dust still came out. I ended up using my air compressor to clean it out and it seemed to work fine. I've used this on some boards that I glued together and it worked fine. I've sanded for about half an hour each time I've worked on my project and I have no complaints. This is a very simple and affordable grinder that I would definitely recommend to any handyman.
