How about this to use for hobby projects around the house works excellent for metal and wood and just about anything else you want to throw at it. It is a small machine doesn't take much space for storage. I bought the ceramic sanding belts much better than aluminum oxide.

Can't adjust speed, need to simplify belt changing too many steps involved.

I have been extremely impressed with the woodworking products I have purchased that are by WEN. This item has a quiet, vibration free motor, a dust shield over the switch, a vacuum adapter, 2 vacuum ports, permanently sealed bearings, great fit and finish, and a very well-written user manual with an “exploded view” of each part. I highly recommend this item.

I bought this to replace my ancient Delta 31-080, which finally died in a shower of sparks, smoke, and nearly flame. Delivery was fast - 3 days via USPS.The Wen is much lighter, and has rubber suction feet to hold it in place. It was easy to set up.Squaring the belt table required adjusting a set hex screw set in the table - easy access until it fills up with debris. in theory, it should be a one time set up, so i guess (or hope) it won’t present a issue in the future. the locking mechanism is a set screw in a lever assembly - it just requires about 45 degrees to lock. HOWEVER, when the table is lowered, from 90 degrees to about 135 degrees, the lever extends above the table when locked.The disc sander requires screwing on the dust collection port frame/plate, which slides onto the rear of the disc sander frame from the side, and secures with three phillips screws. The table locks with two set screw handles.It includes a small mitre gauge; i don’t know how accurate the scales on the table and mitre are - if you really need precision, it’s probably best to make a jig.i gave it a quick test run, shaping the end of a ʻoʻo (digging stick). it handled the job fine - the belt tracked perfectly with no adjustment, and the platen is firm and steady. The dust port did not seem to do much independently - there was dust all over - so i guess it really needs a collection system connected to it with adequate suction. The motor and belt were nice and quiet, and there was no wobbling or excessive vibration.as noted in other reviews, plastic parts (table set screw handles/levers, belt shield, disc dust collection plate) do seem less than ideal, but adequate for the light hobby work which i am using it for.For the price, i am very happy. if anything changes, i will update my review.

Un aparato sólido y ligero que facilita su potabilidad. Llegó antes de la fecha programada y efectivo al debastar y pulir. Afila muy bien los cuchillos y el grano de la lija permite buen acabado. Excelente relación precio-calidad.

Wen sigue dándome buenas herramientas ya con esta es una más de la familia wen con buen funcionamiento y rendimiento así como una inmejorable relación costo beneficio. Es ideal para piezas de pequeñas a medianas, su potencia es más que suficiente ya que sino tienes cuidado puedes devastar de mas, por su tamaño la puedes acomodar en cualquier parte de tu taller, es versátil ya que con ella puedo afilar desde los cuchillos de la cocina hasta los formones y otras herramientas de mi taller. Su bandas de 1x30 son Económicas y fáciles de conseguir. Definitivamente es la herramienta complementaria que me hacía falta en mi taller.El único detalle es la instalación de la base de metal en la parte de la lija de Banda donde si se complicó su instalación hasta que vi un video en YouTube de cómo ponérsela.Gran compra 👍

The first one that I order arrived damaged and I sent it back.Amazon.ca sent me a replacement one, and I was very happy with it. As with all the tools that I have I do a tune up on them first before I put them to work, eg: I made sure that all the wheels / guide for the 1 inch belt were round and smooth (which they were not done right from the factory) I made sure that the back bracket for the sanding belt was 90 deg's to the table top and that the angle indacator is correct on 0 and 45 deg mark. The machine is very quiet and smooth running now (no vibrations) and it works like a charm, for me it was worth the money and time.

Product was simple to assemble and seems to be good quality. The fit/finish was not the highest, but for the price it's not bad either. I had to really make sure the surfaces were level (at first install they were not) so had to do some tweaking but they are prefect now. I would check after build to insure your surfaces are level, again they were very close, but when I'm doing woodwork, I want them prefect and after using a level I got them there. Overall the product works great and again for the $$ it is a great value. Pleased with purchase. recommended...
