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

I needed a combo sander for a specific wood project. I bought the 8" because there was a coupon at the time that made it a touch more expensive than the 6" model. It was well packaged and easy to assemble. But the tables aren't even close. The table for the belt is bent by several degrees down when looking at the belt in its vertical position. The table was adjusted so it was perpendicular to the belt face. This doesn't obviously affect function but it looks bad. The table for the disc has a gap that varies in distance from the disc across the 8". For my use, this wasn't a problem. I was able to complete the job how I wanted and the results were as expected. The tables could probably be fixed with shims and modifications. But out of the box they aren't right. My disc appears to run true with no wobble, but I haven't put an indicator on it to check runout.The dust port size was an interesting choice. Even with the included adapter I can't connect a dust extractor to it. I rigged something up to get through the job, but it will require a different approach next time. They should have made this with a bigger port to achieve the proper cfm needed to pull out the fine dust.If you're looking for a cheap combo sander to do basic tasks, I'd recommend this one if you can live with some quirks.
