You will have to help it along a little with your other hand while you turn the knob. I bought this to take to work as the one there is available to any. If I blow it it's impossible to remove just one room and have it perfect. I'm building the historic wooden ship model. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice addition to their shop.

For small projects and working with small parts, this is the sander to get. The wheel does not have any wobble to it and is very flat. I'm comparing it to a Jet Sander of the same size that I owned a few years ago. The motor is a monster and gets this thing to speed in no time. Really nice quality and super quiet operation.

The rest is heavy cast iron and a very solid piece of equipment. I bought this to take to work as the one there is available to any. Needed to tighten a few screws, bolts, that should have been done at the factory. Quick delivery and works great Excellent disc sander, plenty of power. The table is a little stiff when your trying to adjust it up and down.

For small projects and working with small parts, this is the sander to get. The wheel does not have any wobble to it and is very flat. There priced between $25k to $125k, and I only make 1 a year. The power switch also has a tab lock that works fine. The motor spools up like some I've heard in big factories & runs very smooth.
