Sander Accessories Reviews

I teach high school Wood Fabrication and Manufacturing and I have two of the Bosch 3727 Random Orbital Sanders in my shop. I have used other random orbital sanders in the past, like Dewalt and Ryobi, and I found them difficult to hold on too. These sanders are wonderful. They are very smooth, create an excellent finish and are very well balanced and stable. You can easily hold on to them with one hand and keep the sanding pad on the work piece. Definitely the best random orbital sander I've ever used.

I have this sander at home and it does an amazing job. I have a Fein vacuum that, when connected to the sander, makes it pretty much dust free. The sanders own dust bag does a good job too but hooked up to the vacuum you really get spoiled.

If you work in a wood working shop everyday the sanders to get would be the Fein 8", 6" and a pneumatic 5" or 6". The Fein has a lager throw so it sands off more with each pass than the Bosch with the same grit paper.

The Bosch however is easier to control, lighter, very quiet (compared to the Fein), less expensive, and a lot more comfortable to use. I work in a shop making furniture so I do a lot of sanding and I have been very happy with this sander!

I bought this sander to replace my Dewalt palm sander and I love it. Its a little heavy if your sanding walls or a ceiling but if you're on a flat surface its fine. The paper is a snap to change. This is a truly awesome sander.

small lite wieght sander that go and do more than any other sander. Has plenty of power to remove material and help in shaping wood. Just seams to send dust flying everywhere. If it had dust collection it would definetly deserve 5 stars, but then again if it had dust collection it would just get in the way.

I've been using this sander for many many years now. In fact I have 3 of them in my shop. Of course I bought them from Amazon.

Only thing you have to do to maintain this great tool is to change bearing. You can get them from Makita or many other on-line part shop.

I've had one of these little sanders for about 15 years.

It's a very specialized tool, and in my case, there haven't been many uses for it - however, when only a small belt sander will do the trick, this tool has worked well, without any problems.

It's light, safe to use, has plenty of power, changing belts is simple and fast, the handle for your left hand greatly aids in tool control, and overall, is well designed. The only feature mine lacks is variable speed, which the newer sanders have.

Even though the belt is narrow, it can throw off lots of dust, so consider using it outside (if possible), or use a respirator. It isn't a good choice for sanding flat wood much wider than an inch, since it's difficult to not leave groove marks at the belt edges.

I got this tool set for christmas, and haven't stoped using it.
Whether building a shed to doing home repairs this is a great set of tools I would recommend to anyone. 5 stars doesn't begin to discribe it.

If your looking for a go anywhere do anything tool kit, then this is it. The 18V power combined with the balanced, lightweight design makes this 5 tool set a real value. I love the "feel" and versatility this unit provides and the second battery and quick charger keep me right on task with no delays. The sander is especially nice because it can get into the very tightest of corners. I used the grinder to cut off some nails poking out under my deck boards and it made quick work of them. And the saw was up to the task of cutting the hole in the roof I needed for installing a new attic vent. Thank goodness this is a cordless unit with real power. Finally, I didn't think I would ever use the chisel, but yesterday I installed a new oak threshold (the old one had dry rot) and needed to chisel some of the new threshold out to account for some uneveness between the stoop and the brickwork. Overall, this unit works really well and I also like the space saving case. My only reservation is where to get replacement sandpaper with the same holes in it, but I finally found some that fit at a local True Value. Everything I thought it would be and more. Highly recommend!

I've owned the ComboTool 5-n-1 for almost a year now and I absolutely love it. I originally purchased it for (2) reasons, 1)sometimes you just need a reciprocating saw and 2) the cost of a reciprocating saw is nearly as much as the 5-n-1. Therefore, with the extra features/tools included, I saw it as an incredible value.

I just recently completed the installation of a new fireplace and chase(non-masonry chimney). I can say with complete confidence that I could not have done it without the 5-n-1. Oh, sure, I could have gone out and rented/bought the tools that I needed. I could have gone up and down 20 feet of scaffolding to swap tools. But, the time and cost of doing so would have been a real detriment. With this tool I was able to keep everything right by my side and swapping is a matter of seconds. Another huge advantage was the 18V battery pack. If I can help it, I'll never go back to extention cords:-) Because the tool comes with (2) batteries, one is always charging(it only took about 40 minutes) while the other one is in use. Not one time in nearly 3 weeks of this project did I have to stop working to wait on a battery. On top of that, they are amazingly powerful. For instance, I used the recip. saw to cut through 6-8 floor joists in my crawl space and the thing never flinched. Needless to say, I'm a completely satisfied customer. I recommend the 5-n-1 with 5 stars.

Excellent tool. The polisher is easy to control once you get the hang of it. It easily, quickly, and with plenty of power applied the liquid car wax I was using. The tool felt well balanced and well behaved. The speed control is delightful to experience - maintains the same speed under load or no load conditions.

The tool came with two bonnets, one to apply compound and another for final polishiing. The compounding bonnet is the only one I used since I discovered this same bonnet also polishes to a deep luster as the wax you're applying hazes over - the bonnet polishes this haze to nice deep shine. I also used a small spray bottle of water to wet small areas to help spread the wax - it worked great. I am ordering two new compounding bonnets for spares. Suggest you test out the bonnets and find out for yourself before ordering more....

I am really happy with this tool, and I feel it is well worth the money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy a similar tool.

The Makita 9227 buffer is one of the top two if not the best available. It has more than enough power and with the electronic speed control, maintains RPMs even when putting pressure on the tool if used as a sander/grinder. The handle is probably the best feature of this tool, giving you great control when buffing/polishing.

Great polisher,easy to use,plenty of power,I would highly recomend the polisher to anyone.I dont like the polishing pads that came with it(they work good but get fuzz everywhere)I planned on getting foam pads anyway.
Great web site Amazon

This is the perfect tool for anyone that needs to cut fiberglass. It is indespensable and much more managable than a dremmel or other hand grinder. I use this tool almost daily. The only down side is that this blade is a bit fragile and will break if bent even slightly.

I was told about this tool by a freind when I needed to do some work on the inside of my sailboat. The tool works on the same principle as an orbital sander, only with this cutting blade attached, it will cut just about anything very safely. I have used this blade to cut fiberglass tabs away from the hull without danger of cutting throught the hull and with very little dust. I have also cut the 3/8 plywood that was fiberglassed to the bulkhead. I just took my time and the adjustable depth stop and did not cut through any deeper than necessary. I also trimmed the ends of Stainless steel screws off that are through bolted through the cabin top. I now carry this tool with me anywhere I have a job to do for cutting or sanding. Well worth the money.

I know they tell you in the description that it is 3/8" and 3/4" blades but they come in this little tiny pouch. Save these for your super small jobs. Combining the small blades with the Fein Multimasters variable speed, and you have the capability of doing some pretty "fine" work. Great for the boat in a jar project, or anything else in wood or metal, that requires a small cut.

What more do I need to say? This is a fine FEIN accessory. No more needs to be said!

Have one at work, it just takes a beating and keeps on working.

After agonizing over my choices for a finish sander, reading reviews and comparisons, I settled on the Milwaukee 6010-6 and I couldn't be happier. I couldn't believe how smoothly it coasted across the wood. It uses off-the-shelf sandpaper. It felt heavy at first but when in use it seems to just float. One possible negative is that it requires a extra purchase for a dust collection bag, but I've pretty much made up my mind to go for more sophisticated collection system anyhow. I don't have a basis for comparison of how loud it is but that can probably be found in the specifications..

I was completly satisfied with this product, I wish I could buy this in boxes to save some money, because I owned a fiberglass factory, If you used a lot sanding belts or sanding discs I recomend you this product, It really renew the grit GREAT PRODUCT
zorry for my english,
Orlando.

This Product is one of few that really works. I sand plastics, metals, wood, even painted material (you can imagine the mess). I have cleaned up belts discs, sheets, dremel sanding barrels, that I was going to throw out. The belts cleaned up to almost new. You just sand like you would a piece of wood and it cleans up your belt with little mess. You will be suprised with the results.

This product works excallent on wood edges. There is not another product that preforms better, plus you save money by not having to buy another tool. Also, it saves room in the shop.

Let's face it, for under fifty bucks, I wasn't expecting much in a benchtop belt sander, but this little baby filled my needs perfectly. It came out of the box and its styrofoam surround needing only to bolt on the table. The table is attached and adjusted using a nifty heavy duty spring loaded bolt. It came with an allen wrench to adjust the 90 degree stop on the table, but a quick check with my tri square showed no such adjustment was necessary. After fitting the table to the machine, I finished reading the instruction booklet and clicked the switch. It started verrrry slowly but after a minute it fired up to full speed. I turned it on and off and found this was only a one time nuissance, as it roared to life in nano-seconds on the second start. I used it to hone a curved corner on a pair of 8/4 table legs and the 100 grit belt (included) cut through the hard maple like a champ. The 1/5 HP motor is all the power this machine needs. It did make a sort of rat-a-tat-tat sound so I disassembled the side and found that by adjusting the belt tension the noise went away. I ordered four packaged of different grit paper at the same time as the machine, and ... took a couple weeks to stock all the grits before shipping. However, the machine was shipped separately and arrived in a few days.

I see Delta maybe discontinuing this machine in favor of the 1/4HP combination belt/disk sander. I saw that machine at ... for seventy bucks and wasn't impressed by the flimsy appearance.
