Sander operation was excellent but the exhaust needs to be modified to easily fit a vacuum hose

Very productive sander. Love it, does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Reduced my sanding time in half.

It’s a little small. It starts slow then takes about 2 seconds to get to full speed. I was wanting full speed from the first start, but overall a good sander.

This was a surprise gift for my husband from our kitty on Father’s Day! He LOVES it!!! He’s so thrilled to have such a quality sander! I purchased a Ridgid Orbital Sander years ago and he loves that too. Ridgid is the best!

Only thing the dust collecting bag was not in package, but was sent later after I had to make a telephone call.

Great belt sander at a great price. Only reason for 4 stars is that my older Ridgid tools have better extensions on them that came with a lit plug and a Velcro strap for easier cleaner storage. This sander makes quick work of projects and the auto centering works really well. Also the dust collector works extremely well. I was surprised how little fine dust comes off of the belt.
