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 our favorite Benchtop Disc Sanders. Having said that, there were a handful of other really high quality Benchtop Disc Sanders worth showcasing here that barely fell short.

Shop Fox is yet another top manufacturer of Disc Sanders. They build the tool next on our lineup. Shop Fox's Disc Sanders are one of their leading products. I was ready to try the model W1828 and I was not let down!

This Disc Sander is merely $314.99. That is a great deal for a superior Disc Sander like the W1828 by Shop Fox. If you not sure about our top pick, I'd consider the Shop Fox W1828 next. It's a premium quality tool at a good price.

Apart from the tools we researched above, I would have a look at the 37060 by Proxxon and the G7297 by Grizzly. Both these tool manufactures are thought to be a couple of the premier makers of premium Disc Sanders. both of these distinct tools received great customer reviews as well. Customers awarded the Proxxon an average score of 4.4/5 stars. Contrast that to the G7297 which boasts an average rating of 3.7/5 stars.

The Proxxon 37060 comes with a few features you might not get on competing Disc Sanders. For example 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 Grizzly G7297 by comparison, 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.

Each of these couple tools make a fantastic decision for someone whose in the market for Benchtop Disc Sanders

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.

You will have to help it along a little with your other hand while you turn the knob. It's a very heavy duty sander and its plenty powerful for my sanding needs. 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.
