Customer Review: Monster Belt Sander
Summary: 5 Stars
This is hopefully my last belt sander I will need to buy. Over the past 4 years I have burned out 3 belt sanders all Craftsman, however, all these were hand-me downs from my Grandfather and Father that were at least 20 years old. I am not a person who uses a belt sander a lot but I definitely want the tool to do the job when I need it. That is why I decided to invest into this sander.
This is a big sander. I have seen other 4 inch sanders at the chain home centers but this one is big. It is also a little on the heavier side- not terribly heavy but the weight definitely tells the user that this machine is built to last. The weight is an advantage to help the user keep the tool in control.
The first thing I noticed is that the pictures do not show the belt tracking knob on the left side of the sander. Not a lot of difference in size to its competitors but a left side view of the sander would be nice. I have not had any unusual issues with the belt tracking. The tracking needs to be adjusted periodically just like any other belt sander. As one uses the sander - the belt stretches, parts get warmed up, and things are moving - all issues that can change the tracking of the belt. Like another reviewer stated, I could probably drive my full size truck over this sander and it would function without issues. The belt changing lever makes belt changing easy.
The dust collection bag is made of good quality fabric and catches the dust like any other dust bag. It is sometimes a little sticky to get it on and off the sander but I have never had it fall off during use.
Power! This is one powerful sander. I have not been able to make this sander slow down significantly when using it normally. Granted I can put all of my weight onto the sander and make it slow down but that doesn't help the sanders performance in any way.
Overall, this is a great sander. It is a big sander! It is also heavier than the cheaper 3 inch sanders that I used in the past. It is not so heavy that it is not feasible to use - just heavier than than smaller, cheaper, and more popular models. Prior to this I never thought of getting a 4 inch sander but it certainly makes the jobs finish faster and I want tools that I buy only once. Sure it is almost 50%-75% more than the 3 inch ones but I believe this a tool that I will be able to pass down to my grandkids in another 30 years. Even then if the tool breaks down - Milwaukee has plenty of repair centers throughout the country.
The only con I have is that it should come with a carrying case. Something this big (and pricey) should have a carrying case.
