Like it but. good for me

I am SO glad I skipped the HF models. However, there's just a few concerns about this model. I couldn't afford the $1K model I drooled over so this was my choice. I was able to get the tables leveled but it REALLY bugs me that the opposite side does not have a rest but instead just sits out there in mid air. The tracking can be dialed in but there is still room for it to get off track while working. There are times I am accidentally hitting the little wall on the right and it will cause a significant groove in the wood, but it can be sanded out. And lastly, I had 7 square box shelves to sand. It took about 15 minutes total and the housing was extremely hot-wishing it had a cast iron housing since aluminum can and will warp. But this will do me just fine until I can afford something higher quality. After looking at many of the models in this price range, I am happy I chose this one over them.

Pros
  • Combination Disc & Belt Sanders
Cons
  • Assembly instructions are unclear
