Review of 1" X 30" BELT SANDER 1/3 HP

I bought this for rough shaping of carved spoon bowls and their handles. At the level I am using it the performance has been satisfactory. This is not a precision machine and for the price you can't expect it to be. The cover plate for the belt (made of plastic) has jammed the belt causing it to stop running. It is an easy fix but could be annoying if you use the machine on a regular basis. For the money I got what I needed.Only time will tell how long the motor lasts.

Review of Porter Cable 5" Quicksand Random Orbit with H&L Pad

This sander is such an improvement over my old palm sander.It is light, easy to use (so easy to change sanding pads), and does a good job capturing most of the sawdust put off.It sands clean, even, and quickly. Don't know how I did without it.

Review of Porter-Cable 362VS 4-Inch x 24-Inch Variable Speed Sander

Tough choice this - the Porter Cable 362VS or the Bosch 1276DVS.Both are powerful machines that demand some practice and your undivided attention as they sand so quickly.Deciding factor for me was that the variable speedadjusting wheel on the PC had detents (click stops) while the Bosch justfelt like the adjustment could move on it's own accord. Minor differnce forsure as either tool is up to any sanding job.

Review of Factory-Reconditioned Porter-Cable 362R 12 Amp 4-Inch by 24-Inch Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag

I have had no problems with any reconditioned products from Amizon.com in the past.I love my drill press and nail gun.My sander came in just as the previous review.It was covered in sawdust and had some rust.Amizon sent me another one overnight and it was in better shape.I kept it and know that Amizon will take care of me.The return sticker took a while to recieve, after the new one came, but I had no problems sending it back,I guess I need to trust the customers reviews.
