## Description

Voltage: 110V

Review: Best Belt Sander I've ever owned. - WOW, great machine. I read a lot of reviews on many similar type belt sanders and I am glad I went with this one. Some of the reviews I read talked about what motor came on the machine. Mine came with a Baldor motor and was Very Pleased when I saw that. Machine was packaged very well and was delivered very promptly. Only thing that would have been nicer would have been if they could have put notches on the machine and the working platform which if to much pressure is applied it causes the working platform to drop from what ever degree you have it set at. As far as tracking. This is the first belt sander I have that tracks great with no constant fiddling or adjusting. And for the size of the motor and belt the machine runs along quieter than I expected. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How loud is this sander on a scale of 1-10?**
A: On a scale of 1-10, I would put it's loudness at about a 4 or 5. It's not exactly 'quiet,' but I can play music on my shop speaker at a reasonable volume, and still be able to hear it while sanding/grinding.On a related note - this is an AMAZING sander! It's a little on the pricey side, but worth every penny. I've done precision work on it with everything from hardwood to bone/antler, to high-carbon steel (scale and all)

**Q: Is this machine good to use for grinding knife bevels? If it is, is it good for long term grinding**
A: It will sand bevels, it won't do hollow grinds because the large drive wheel is blocked by the motor. And yes it will sand/grind for long periods.

**Q: are you able to tilt the sanding assembly to be flat, or close to it?**
A: Yes, you can tilt it completely horizontal or vertical, or anything in between.

**Q: Can you sharpen lawnmower blades**
A: Yes, absolutely. You have to have some idea of the correct angle to sharpen blades at, but this is what I use to sharpen pretty much everything!(hint: 22* for fine-edged knives, 28* for utility blades)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful with a great motor
*by F***2 on May 3, 2019*

Machine has plenty of power and I love the motor. I nee d to spend some time working with the machine to see if I can move the platten. The problem I am having is that the belt doesn't ride far enough to the edge of the platten without adjusting it quite a way to one side of the tension/adjustment wheel. I may be a little too picky and will probably work this one out. The other issue has to do with dust collection. It seems to me if they had enclosed the bottom of the belt guard and put a dust port in the housing, so you could hook up a vacuum hose it would awesome. I made my own dust catcher using a small plastic container placed under the bottom pulley. I drilled a hole in the side of the container and placed a 1-1/4" fitting in the hole to which I attached a hose from my shop-vac. This works out fairly well. Overall, a good sturdy machine.
