If you want to remove a lot of wood without waiting forever like a random orbit sander, look no further. This belt sander from Eastvolt is a pretty good tool, especially at this price point. The cord is long enough so that it doesn't get in your way and doesn't touch the work piece. I haven't tried hooking up my shop vacuum to the side outlet, but the bag picks up enough dust and since the pad doesn't have holes like an orbital sander, the dust inevitably ends up on the rest of the work area - so be careful when you put it in use indoors. It's about as noisy as any other belt sander I've used. I've tried to keep it parallel to the part (as it should be), but somehow I sometimes get a few scratches from the metal next to the "belt" - I ended up putting painter's tape on it to make contact easier in order to. adjacent wood. The belts themselves are ok, but not outstanding. They stick together pretty quickly and don't stay perfectly on the grinder unless you fiddle with the adjustment (this may have more to do with the grinder than the belt itself as I've had this on some Tacklife belts as well) . Sometimes the strap would begin to curl inward and bite the inner plastic lip. Once adjusted this problem is gone, but the straps themselves don't last very long and the transition in the strap where it connects is a little more pronounced than it should be with the straps supplied, making it "bumpy" to use. power. The engine is running. Still, it removed a lot of material quickly, particularly the irritating wood glue residue, but I've only used it on the underside of a large countertop, which I did instead of the top where a finer sanding was needed - that's where I went back to the random orbital. On a rare occasion when I was wrong, he ripped a chunk out of the bottom of the table near the edge. Luckily that was the floor again. It's not a specific problem with that particular tool, but how the belt sander behaves in the first place. I'm sure it will do a great job of sanding large amounts of wood from things less than 3 inches wide such as. B. swollen door edges. and no longer fits. Build quality is quite acceptable for the price, the rubber and plastic grips are good, and the case doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart, even if it's been mocked a bit, even though it's mostly plastic.
