Using a vacuum with it is highly recommended. It runs smooth and the fit and finish is very good. For an around the shop grinder for a hobbyist metal worker. The disc has no visible run out on my unit and sands smoothly. Very little vibration and it's not really loud.

The WEN 6515T was really our number one 1 x 30 Inch Belt Sanders. That being said, there were a handful of other truly premium quality 1 x 30 Inch Belt Sanders we wanted to showcase here that only just fell short.

Next up is built by Grizzly which is a very respectable tool brand. Grizzly's Disc & Belt Sanders are one of their leading products. I was ready to try out the model H6070 and I was not let down!

The model H6070 Disc & Belt Sander by Grizzly, at $156.95 is a particularly great Sander for the price. The Grizzly H6070 is definitely a solid alternative. Of you are not sure about our top selection, I'd suggest you go with this Sander.

In addition to the selections we already covered, I would definitely have a look at the 50-151 by Rikon and the BD1500 by POWERTEC. Both these tool manufactures are thought to be a couple of the leading makers of quality Sanders. both of these distinct options enjoy exceptional end user reviews as well. Real customers gave the Rikon an score on average of 4.2/5 stars. Contrast that to the POWERTEC BD1500 which boasts an average rating of 3.2/5 stars.

The Rikon 50-151 has a couple of features you wont experience on competing Disc & Belt Sanders. One example is Belt Table Tilts from -0Degree- 45Degree. The POWERTEC BD1500 although, is very competitive offering Includes: heavy duty belt and disc sander combination flaunts a 1”x30” sanding belt, 5” sanding disc, 2 work tables with 0° - 45° tilt, heavy duty miter gauge, and 2 Dust ports and even Features: 2 cast aluminum tables provide exceptional work support and tilts up to 45 degrees, precision tracking system; Steel base prevent vibrations during operation.

I can easily endorse both of these 1 x 30 Inch Belt Sanders

Tonight the Idler Roller started making noise. After setting tracking, it remained where initially set. I didn't time how long, but the heat might be an issue. The disc has no visible run out on my unit and sands smoothly. sander is doing fine, lot power sands well on metal and wood.

It's a nice machine and I wish I could have kept it. The rotating plate is basically useless to me. After returning the first one I received I got a decent sander. The fit and weight of this machine are excellent. There is one on each side and they do a lot to reduce noise.

There are just two mounting holes in the base of the sander. I did something stupid and needed support help. You will not be disappointed in this unit is my best guess. I am very pleased with the performance of this sander. Not as heavily made as my old one, but is worth the money.

Tonight the Idler Roller started making noise. After setting tracking, it remained where initially set. Everything I hated was now different and excellent. I am very pleased with the performance of this sander. It's the attachment of the belt table with the machine.

The second problem is the belt tracking adjustment. I don't use this for wood use, I use it to sand plastic. I had another model before this and there was no comparison. The fit and weight of this machine are excellent. sander is doing fine, lot power sands well on metal and wood.

And it is very hard to stop the belt with a large wood block. The rotating plate is basically useless to me. Everything I hated was now different and excellent. I'm very satisfied with the way this Rikon sander runs. Machine speed is 1725 RPM and this works very well.
