I have a lot of vintage and antique pieces that need work, but the thought of struggling to strip away old layers of dirt/varnish/paint just stopped me in my tracks. After staring at a cedar chest I purchased 20+ years ago, I figured it was finally time. I did a little bit of research and settled on a weapon, the Skil Belt Sander. I was comfortable tackling the project with a sander, because cedar isn't precious enough for me to do any real damage, and besides the sander was a joy to use.Once I removed all the copper hardware from the chest, the sander made quick work of wiping the slate clean. I felt like I was doing a giant scratch-off to reveal a prize! I hadn't expected to enjoy myself so much! The neighbors certainly were curious too, if not impressed, to see what I was working with. If I hadn't had so many folks stop to take a look and chat, this little sander might've finished the job before it started to rain.All around, it's a handy little tool that made quick work of a big project. I'm very with my purchase.

Great sander. Well known and respected brand. Exceptionally good price. Used it sand a slab of incense cedar that was cut with an Alaska Mill, Removed the chainsaw gouges quickly and produced a very smooth and flat surface.

Does the job well, without leaving scuff or burn marks (when operated correctly, of course!). I used a very light touch (always had a green light on the Pressure Indicator), and, it practically did the job on its own! Despite the manual claiming that the belts can be "easily" put on and off, I found it difficult to do so; there just wasn't enough slack. The sander's dust filter attachment seemed to work, though there was so little debris that I couldn't tell one way or the other (i.e., was anything vac'd or did most fall on the floor?). I wanted to attach my own vacuum cleaner to the dust port, which claimed to be a "standard 1-1/4 (inch) vacuum hose," but it wouldn't fit any of my multiple portable, stand-up, or shop vac, hoses! I made do by wrapping duct tape around the openning of a smaller vac's hose, then squeezing it into the Skil sander; a tapering dust port fitting would have been nice to fit more than just the stated size's vac hoses, "standard" or not. It's also heavier than I would have liked, and, most of the time, I was forced to use it with one hand, and found it difficult to use, even with two hands (the oddly-named "auxiliary handle" (there is no other!) is not situated well (needs to be extended a bit) and is too bulbous for me (not easy to hold). It doesn't lend itself to being used upside-down or upright, and the manual expressly warns against it, but, at one point, I was forced to do use it upside-down, and, though it was a bit of a struggle to keep it upright (I have no way to clamp/vise it down), it worked (I used my vac hose, not the filter attachment, to avoid breaking the latter). I purchased multiple grit belts from a third party, and they worked quite well. Despite my criticisms, it did the job, and it was well-priced, so, I am satisfied, and can recommend it.

I bought this because it was recommended as an easy to use, lightweight, basic, belt sander for simple projects - and for a good price. Our Craftsman Belt Sander from the 1980's had died and just using a palm sander to try to strip peeling paint did not work. This stripped the peeling paint off our shed trim very well. Be sure to use the correct sandpaper for your job! I am a 76 year old woman and found it easy to use and very happy.

Estaba también dudoso por algunos comentarios. Pero para trabajos en casa está bien. En mi caso compré un par de lijas de la marca diablo y valla que hizo la diferencia, he lijado varios trozos de madera. La dejaba enfriar x lapsos de tiempo y me di cuenta que regularmente hay que vaciar el contenedor de polvo incluso lo sopleteaba porque al no pasar el aire provoca que se sobrecaliente.

Overpressure switch comes on even with little or no pressure applied. Othewise works good. The only other problem is plastic container doesn't seem to come apart which makes cleaning of this item very difficult. It looks like the black plastic end should come apart but doesn't seem to ( didn't want to force it in case it broke ). If there is a trick on how to open the plastic case up and clean inside of all the dust, I would really like to know if it does come apart. Otherwise seems to work good.

I bought this sander halfway through a carpentry project when my eight times as costly Makita sander decided it was time for the motor to burn out. In my experience, this is not something unusual for Makita, their alleged robustness notwithstanding. This Skil had some good reviews so I ordered. At that price, what was there to lose? It arrived the next morning and was able to finish my project with almost no interruption. Operation is flawless, the belt stays in position and the transparent dust catcher makes sense. The 18 inch belt is a size down from the Makita but didn't notice any difference in use. Some posters have remarked the unit gets hot. I didn't find that to be the case at all but with power tools I am always mindful of duty cycle so never push these units to the limit. Show some mercy and let it cool down once in awhile and I think you will be just fine. Maintain some perspective. If your intention is to sand a ballroom floor or a roller-derby track, rent a drum sander or hire a guy who has one. This Skil is priced and built for the handyman, furniture maker, stairs and railings builder etc. - not the sort of industrial user who needs to grind down 2 x 4's into toothpicks all day.Surprisingly light with a nice feel to it. Mine came with a medium grit belt installed - just right for many projects. As with most power tools, be sure to use hearing and eye protection and keep your fingers clear of the business end. Bottom line: "Skil" name and quality for the handyman/homeowner/craftsman at a great price.

Pequeña y ligera pero muy eficiente, el sistema que trae para que la banda no se salga de su lugar es excelente ya que esto te permite trabajar en diferentes ángulos sin que se esté saliendo y se estén rompiendo las bandas. Hago pequeños proyectos de carpintería y es ideal para estos, en ocasiones me gustaría tener una más grande con mayor fuerza así que, si la vas a utilizar en proyectos caseros o pequeños como yo te va a ser muy útil pero si tienes un taller más grande te va a ser falta mayor fuerza y superficie de banda para lijar. La relación precio-calidad es Excelente ya que está bien construida y con buenos materiales, además de que cuenta con el control de presión, recolector de polvo rígido y sistema de control de banda. La compre con descuento a un súper precio $1500 con gastos de importancion ya incluidos y aún así mucho más barata que en otros lados por lo que te recomiendo aprovechar una de estas ofertas.
