It arrived in 3 days, well packed and in perfect condition. It runs smooth and the fit and finish is very good. But the sander is cheap, so I didn't expect much. Only one belt speed and that speed is rather slow. This table too has no positive stops for 90 degree adjustment.

Removed milk paint from filling of an old door. One interesting observation is the disc spins clockwise. I had another model before this and there was no comparison. For some, this cannot work and must be pointed out. The tables are nice and large being made from cast iron.

It's a nice machine and I wish I could have kept it. I would assuredly buy it again if I had the need. Everything I hated was now different and excellent. It's heavy and heavy duty and has plenty of power for me. I plugged in my shop vac to the port which fit nicely.

Tonight the Idler Roller started making noise. One interesting observation is the disc spins clockwise. I had another model before this and there was no comparison. While the product was what I expected for the price. There is one on each side and they do a lot to reduce noise.
