That's all I can ask at this price point. Did not power on when it arrived. Sand here, sand there, sand everywhere. Dust collection is very effective. I am just making knife handles now.

That's all I can ask at this price point. It is a compact unit with BIG features. It is my go-to sander for jobs both big and small. If you have the time, works on large jobs. Wish I would have bought this long ago.

No damage, packaging can improve. It's a nice sander for the small shop. With a coat of paste wax, it's smooth. Dust collection is very effective. Like one other reviewer mine was packed upside down.

I bought this and the Grizzly 9 inch band saw. It's a nice sander for the small shop. I removed the link to help reduce confusion. Great customer service from Grizzly. Had to go out and purchase a 30 MM and a 1 1/4 wrench.
