I feel that for a few dollars more, its well worth the price.

Bigger disk and a real named belt and disc sander harbor freight line not some Harbor Freight tit or miss crap.

Along with both Hitachi's and Lowes reputation. This was new in the box and it was perfect. No Flyers and lowe's is everwhere. Originally posted by Bruce Cohen View Post. Well, yes, but the quality is suspect; too many 'plastic' parts. Have it, like it. Last edited by herb fellows ;PM.

You don't need a parachute to skydive, you only need a parachute to skydive twice. I have that HF model. Bought it about 8 months ago. Only used it a couple of times and worked fine for what I wanted to use it for. I would say overall the fit and finish are not super, but it works fine. I guess it would depend on how much I planned to use it. Joe "All things are difficult before they are easy". Originally posted by phrog View Post. They're selling breasts belt and disc sander harbor freight line HF now?

Happiness is sort of like wetting your pants I'm not saying that the HF has problems, BUT Belt and disc sander harbor freight line will say you can go wrong with this type of product, it's not a slam dunk. It worked OK for some time but then developed a nasty habit - the belt would wander when it warmed up belt and disc sander harbor freight line bit. So depending upon whether Harbor Freight Belt And Disc Sander Coupon Line you belt and disc sander harbor freight line the tracking for just on, or for running for about 30 seconds or more, belt and disc sander harbor freight line would run the belt off to the right or to th e left, so I ended up with ragged edged belts and was constantly fiddling with belt and disc sander harbor freight line tracking.

Worse, it would tear up the belts even when trying to use the disk sander portion because of course the belt ran all the time. I never did figure out what was worn in the tracking mechanism but I knew I had to adjust it one way as soon as i turned it on and then do gradual adjustments the other way from about 15 seconds to seconds.

You couldn't use it during this time since it required continuous adjustment; if you tried to do a quickie it would tear up the edges of the belts as it ran off the rollers. Turn it off, then back on a bit later and you repeat the whole process. So it became the most annoying piece of crap in my shop until I replaced it with the Ryobi model. Other things that can go wrong with this tool: the adjustment of the table - it must be able to be adjusted to 90 degrees of the disk and also if it has a miter slot it has to be able to make the sot parallel to the disk.

If the mounting, usually one screw knob, is not solid or not adjustable, it becomes difficult to put perpendicular and square faces on your projects. I have this sander. I used it to finish out my stations for my canoe. It does not get heavy use because I don't do any woodworking but small stuff and canoes but it seems to work fine.

It is heavy and seems like it is durable and it is adjustable. I cut my stations as close to the fairing lines as I could with a jigsaw and use it to sand right to the marking lines 14 stations and two jigs and it did the job just fine. I only used the disc for stations and I have used the belt a few times. Last edited by dvan ;AM. I have the same model, had it for over a year - same price.

Had no problems with it, works good - light to medium work. The finish will not win any beauty prises. No belt wandering and easy to change disks and belts. The miter gage leaves a lot to be desired though. I have my miter locked at 90 degrees. While it can be adjusted, if I need a special angle, I cut a scrap on the table saw and Harbor Freight Belt And Disc Sander Review Ze use both together.

Can't go wrong with this one. I have one. William's Law-- There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance. First project completed - shotgun butt pad A buddy wanted to mount a shock absorbing butt pad to a shotgun he picked up.

Perfect first job for this unit. Mostly just tightened the main drive belt and aligned things, as well as opened up the vacuum slot. He thought we needed some serious floor mounted tools and when I pulled this off of the shelf, he was pleasantly surprised. I placed this under the belt surface as I noticed the belt just ran on the painted metal surface and there was already wear during my break in tests. I also think this will improve the life of cheap belts as the weak point is often the joint and I wanted to avoid anything catching on the edge of the surface.

I think it helped improve the unit. Check one out next time it goes on sale. Last edited by lrr ;PM. AdSense Footer. All rights reserved.
