Very good product but with caveats

Firstly the overall design of the product is very well thought out overall with storage for pretty much everything. It does what the manufacturer says. A few tweaks would make it even better: 1) The locking knob on top of the driveshaft only works for the belt, not the spindle - they give you a standard threaded nut and flat washer to 'squash' enough on the rubber to get. Spindles to expand and grab the inside of the spindle bushings - pretty stupid and probably an afterthought. 2) the belt…

Ok two small design and quality control issues

Overall seems to work well and hard to beat, two in one. QC Issue - I was given a bit of a spindle tension that didn't match the amount of thread (too few threads per inch). I'm 100% sure of that, having checked the thread count with other nuts/bolts I have. Easy enough to replace, but annoying. The first design issue - be careful - the belt tension spring sometimes tends to slip sideways and push the belt out of plane, this not only rubs the belt but also pushes the belt towards the table…

  • Power tools

  • No instructions

no fit and finish

is not a premium car. the spindles and belt are perpendicular to the fixed base, but it is very difficult to position an actual working base, which can be tilted, perpendicular to the belt. The biggest problem is that the belt sanding plate isn't flat, it's curved in several directions, so it can never be truly perpendicular to the table. The finish on the table isn't the best, but it doesn't affect performance. Spindles are fairly well polished. The part that transfers torque from the motor to
