It is amazing how much metal gets attached to them. It runs smooth and the fit and finish is very good. For an around the shop grinder for a hobbyist metal worker. For some, this cannot work and must be pointed out. Not as heavily made as my old one, but is worth the money.

The PORTER-CABLE PCB420SA was undoubtedly our favorite 3/4 HP Motor Sanders. That being said, there were a range of other truly high quality 3/4 HP Motor Sanders worth showcasing here that just barely missed first place.

Jet is yet another major maker of Sanders. They produce the tool that is next on our list. Jet's Disc & Belt Sanders are among their leading products. It was fantastic to check out the J-41002. I was very satisfied using this tool!

The model J-41002 Disc & Belt Sander by Jet, at $499.00 is an especially exceptional Sander for the price. The Jet J-41002 is really a solid option. Of you are uncertain about our top selection, I'd advise to opt for this Sander.

Apart from the selections we reviewed already, I would evaluate the 50-120 by Rikon and the 708596K by Jet. Both Rikon and Jet are well known for their premium quality Sanders. Both tools are rated highly as well. Customers gave the Rikon an score on average of 3.3/5 stars. You can compare that to the 708596K that holds an average rating of 3.6/5 stars.

The 50-120 by Rikon gives several really premium features such as Solid steel and cast iron construction. The Jet 708596K however, is very competitive offering Combination belt/disc sander with 3/4 horsepower motor plus Convenient tracking adjustment knob features a quick lock handle to keep the belt from drifting; belt speed of 2258; disc speed of 1725; 4-Inch dust port on the back.

I can easily suggest either of these 3/4 HP Motor Sanders

This means that they did not correctly prep the metal. 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. While the product was what I expected for the price. Belts are easy to come by, plenty of power.

The second problem is the belt tracking adjustment. I havent had any issues whatsoever about the power of the Jet. You will not be disappointed in this unit is my best guess. Only one belt speed and that speed is rather slow. Belts are easy to come by, plenty of power.

The second problem is the belt tracking adjustment. I did something stupid and needed support help. And have removed the unnecessary right side belt guard. I received my Jet sander after waiting! There is one on each side and they do a lot to reduce noise.

It is a sturdy machine and it works perfectly. I havent had any issues whatsoever about the power of the Grizzly. But the sander is cheap, so I didn't expect much. While the product was what I expected for the price. sander is doing fine, lot power sands well on metal and wood.

It is a sturdy machine and it works perfectly. The rotating plate is basically useless to me. For an around the shop grinder for a hobbyist metal worker. I had this item shipped directly to my shop from the distributor. The e-stop is in a weird location so just be aware of that.

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.
