Anybody got one of these? You can get the same sander from Grizzly, HF, and several others.

Reviews are all over the place. Some tout is as a great little sander, others call it a cheap piece of shit. Just curious if any of you guys have this style.

 

I don’t use one all the time. It’ll be mostly for sharpening and shaping stuff where I need a little flexibility that my 4″ Belt/5″ disc combo doesn’t have. Most run around $75, so not a huge gamble.

I have the rikon version, not a bad unit tracking isn’t the greatest but not bad in the belt, HD stocks diablo 1×30 belts

To small to be of much value. I have a Jet that is a bench top model and its a couple sizes larger and its borderline too small.

 

The disc portion needs to be about 12″ or larger in my opinion.

Hard to tell from the pic, but this is actually the model without the disc.

I’m generally not a fan of diablo sanding abrasives but their belts are pretty decent quality, 1×30 are pretty slim pickings in store
