This flimsy locking mechanism should be improved. It has a good solid feel and the weight keeps it running smooth. The dust port was slightly larger than my 2-1/4 inch adapter. I liked the price and sturdiness of this product. It's the attachment of the belt table with the machine.

The Jet 628900 was undoubtedly our favorite 1 HP Motor Sanders. However, there were a handful of other very premium 1 HP Motor Sanders worth showcasing here that barely missed the mark.

Shop Fox is another major maker of Sanders. They make the tool next on our rundown. Shop Fox's Disc & Belt Sanders are great as well. I was excited to try out the model W1676 and I was not disappointed!

The Shop Fox W1676 Disc & Belt Sander, at $730.00 is an especially excellent Sander for the money. If you unsure about our top pick, I'd look into the Shop Fox W1676 next. It's a first class tool at a terrific price.

It arrived in 3 days, well packed and in perfect condition. The disc sander housing was very rough and chipped. I had another model before this and there was no comparison. I liked the price and sturdiness of this product. Very little vibration and it's not really loud.

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.

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.
