I would not hesitate to recommend this sander. Does a great job, heavy with lots of get up and go, a very nice product. Very much worth the extra price as it's obvious this unit will last years and years. This sander has more than enough power for any material from soft wood to hard steel. I'm very impressed with this little machine.

The Delta 31-140 was definitely our favorite Benchtop Disc Sanders. Even so, there were a few other really premium Benchtop Disc Sanders we wanted to show you here that just barely missed first place.

The next in our tool break down is built by Shop Fox which is a very highly regarded tool supplier. Shop Fox's Disc Sanders are among their premier products. I was eager to try out the model W1828 and I was not disappointed!

The Shop Fox W1828 Disc Sander, at $314.99 is a particularly great Disc Sander for the money. The Shop Fox W1828 is definitely a sound alternative. Of you are uncertain about our top choice, I would pick this Disc Sander.

Aside from the tools we already covered, I would have a look at the 37060 by Proxxon and the Grizzly G7297. Both Proxxon and Grizzly are known for their premium Disc Sanders. Both these tools are highly rated also. Users gave the Proxxon an rating on average of 4.4/5 stars. You can compare that to the Grizzly G7297 which holds an average score of 3.7/5 stars.

The Proxxon 37060 has several features you wont experience on other similar Disc Sanders. One example is Table can be adjusted to incline 50 degrees downward and 10 degrees upward, with miter gage and c-clamp for horizontal and vertical clamping. The G7297 by Grizzly although, is very competitive featuring 110V 1 H.P. 10 Amp TEFC motor; Accepts 12-Inch PSA discs; Large 17-1/4-Inch x 8-1/4-Inch aluminum table; Miter gauge; Table tilts from 0 - 45-Degree plus Accepts 12-Inch PSA discs.

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.

Installing the break was simple and stopped the unit in a matter of a few seconds. This sander has more than enough power for any material from soft wood to hard steel. The platform adjusts easily and doesn't slip when I'm using the sander.

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.
