It is amazing how much metal gets attached to them. It runs smooth and the fit and finish is very good. For an around the shop grinder for a hobbyist metal worker. For some, this cannot work and must be pointed out. Not as heavily made as my old one, but is worth the money.

The PORTER-CABLE PCB420SA was really our preferred 3/4 HP Motor Disc & Belt Sanders. Even so, there were a few other really premium 3/4 HP Motor Disc & Belt Sanders we wanted to show you here that only just missed first place.

Jet is another leading producer of Disc & Belt Sanders. They build the tool next on our list. Jet's Disc & Belt Sanders are no exception. I was ready to have a go at the model J-41002 and I was not let down!

This Disc & Belt Sander is just $499.00. That is a terrific deal for a high quality Disc & Belt Sander like the J-41002 by Jet. If you not sure about our number one choice, I'd look into the Jet J-41002 next. It's a premium quality tool at a terrific price.

This means that they did not correctly prep the metal. I don't use this for wood use, I use it to sand plastic. I had another model before this and there was no comparison. While the product was what I expected for the price. Belts are easy to come by, plenty of power.

The second problem is the belt tracking adjustment. I havent had any issues whatsoever about the power of the Jet. You will not be disappointed in this unit is my best guess. Only one belt speed and that speed is rather slow. Belts are easy to come by, plenty of power.

The second problem is the belt tracking adjustment. I did something stupid and needed support help. And have removed the unnecessary right side belt guard. I received my Jet sander after waiting! There is one on each side and they do a lot to reduce noise.

It is a sturdy machine and it works perfectly. The rotating plate is basically useless to me. For an around the shop grinder for a hobbyist metal worker. I had this item shipped directly to my shop from the distributor. The e-stop is in a weird location so just be aware of that.

And it is very hard to stop the belt with a large wood block. The rotating plate is basically useless to me. Everything I hated was now different and excellent. I'm very satisfied with the way this Rikon sander runs. Machine speed is 1725 RPM and this works very well.
