The only problem I have with this machine is the arm that supports the table allows the table to move around. There should be more points to hold this tight. I bought it to suare up ends of pen blanks which I can do you just need to have a soft touch.

    Great tool works well. It's easier to change the belt then several other models that I checked out before selecting the WEN machine. It's very easy to set up and adjust the belt and disk. The belt sander angle is easy to adjust to any position that you need. All and all, I would say this is a very nice machine for the price.

    Decided to return it unopened. Reports from users show that the belt is virtually stopped by pressure on the belt. I need a more robust model and will need to spend more. No problems returning the machine.

    Solid starter piece of equipment. Good value for the money. As long as you're not reefing on it, pushing too hard, or trying to do too much on it, you'll be set.

    Delivery was fast and the sander was easy to assemble. I do like the ability to adjust the belt angle. On the downside to make the adjustments there are 2 hidden bolts that are difficult to see. Already it seams that the moter is struggling and slow to start. I am thinking of returning it.

      So far with only sanding a dozen hardwood pieces it has performed as expected. I as others find that when you press down hard especially on the belt drive that the motor will bog down. I find that with the proper grit sandpaper you need to let the sandpaper do the work without strong pressure. For the cost of this sander it does the job. Spend a lot more money to get a more powerful motor if you want.

      Came early but not all the parts were in the box the rods to install guards were not in the packaging anywhere. Other than that everything else is great.
