Review on Upgraded Model BUCKTOOL BD4603 Belt Disc Sander With 4" X 36" Belt, 6" Disc, 3/4HP Direct-Drive Motor, Portable Al Base - 5.0A Power For Optimal Performance by Jabari Campbell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Missing minor part: my feedback

I got this machine to grind metal for modifying knives. Out of the box, it seems to be of much higher quality than the Craftsman machine I have. That would stall with pretty light pressure - this has much better power. I've used it already to grind an edge on a bowie clip with an 80 grit ceramic belt with no problem. One shortcoming of the machine is that I can't use the old HandAmerican slack belt accessory with it to create convex edges like I can with the Craftsman. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the belt backstop was missing from the box. Otherwise, I'm so impressed with this tool that I'm thinking of getting the Bucktool 2x42 sander - I'd order today if it had a 3/4 hp motor instead of the 1/3 hp motor it has.

Pros
  • ‎0.75 hp
Cons
  • Disc sander can be difficult to level
