First Impressions

"You're welcome."

The first one was damaged in a very similar manner. No, I don't use this daily or for commercial/industrial applications. I converted it to 220V operation and it works fine. If you have a use for this substantial and flexible machine, go for it! When I upgraded to a better t/s I used my 1st/old one as a disk sander.

Shop Fox W1730 Final Thoughts

"It still works great."

It was a real pleasure having this beast for contouring and sanding. I returned it all together and bought this edge sander. The colors of the wires differed from the machine and the instructions. If you have a use for this substantial and flexible machine, go for it! First, the stand is too short and lightweight, so I made a new heaver stand.

Overall Score 5.0
