Sanders Reviews

I have used about 20 of these strippers to strip off 30 year old paint on cider block. It works great taking off the paint but I've gone through 3 drills. The dust from them seem to clog up the drills and I'm still not done.

When I purchased this grinder it was $41.99 now it is selling for nearly half that. For the current price it is a fair deal. It is slightly above the Harbor Freight and other ChiCom batch of cheapo grinders but miles from Milwaukee, Metabo and other top shelf tools. This one has been abused more than used and is still functioning as it did when I opened the box. The bearings are still quiet and if it lasts another year before dying I will be happy with the purchase.
Still, I could have bought 3 of the HF units for what this one cost and it isn't 3 times as good.

How does one scrub without water? Darned hard, I say. I use the mouse to scrub a working sink, and while it works well and gets stains out, the rubber plate to which the scrubber attaches continuously comes off the tool when wet. The store graciously replaced the entire unit, but it happened again the next time I scrubbed. A little super-glue was all it took for the pad to stay on. Now...why can't they do that at the manufacturer? Otherwise, a powerful little scrubber, if you're willing to put up with peeling corners and such.

The pad is just fine but our company will NEVER buy anything again from outlet tool supply. If you have a problem and call them (which one of our people did) their response is "what do you want me to do?") in a crass smart-ass tone.

I owned one of these in my old shop that ran great over several years.
So I decided to get another one when I moved. Big mistake

After the minimal required setup, I checked that the spindle was square to the table. It was not.
I called the customer service at Delta and the "phone person" asked a tech who didn't know but thought maybe...?
There is no adjustment to square the tool up!
The one adjustment capability (not for squaring but for up-and-down guide) had plastic machine screws with plastic lock nuts. This had been overtightened at the factory and the screw fell apart in my hand.
I finally got the tool working, but because it isn't square it's a useless tool and I'm sending it back.
I'll try to get a replacement that is square because I really liked my old one. Maybe there's hope.

THIS BLADE IS VERY HANDY FOR FLUSH CUTTING IN SOFT TO SEMISOFT WOOD. DON'T EXPECT BLADE TO LAST VERY LONG. WILL CUT HARD WOOD, BUT WEARS OUT VERY FAST. NO LONGER THAN BLADE LAST WITH USE IT'S VERY PRICY.

I have a small garage shop with very limited room. I have an excellent Jet Belt/Disc sander already, but needed a small 1" belt sander for those small jobs, so I bought this portable unit from Grizzly. Good points: small and light, but the rubber feet hold it firmly on the workbench. Seems powerful enough. The belt tracking adjustment is a little cheesy but seems to work OK. The left side cover is plastic and easily removed to allow access to the belt mechanism. The dust port is also molded into this cover and seems to work OK. Now the not so good: the table tilt adjustment is fairly crude and the adjustment lever is right next to the motor cover making it difficult to turn. It would have made so much more sense to put it on the other side. Worse, the plastic motor cover interferes with the rear of the table, making it impossible to level the table 90 degrees to the belt. Well, the nice thing about this tool is it can modify itself! I removed the table and used the now-tableless sander to grind off about 1/4" of the right rear corner of the table. It now clears the motor cover just fine. Because of these fit and finish issues I give this sander 3 stars. Overall, though, I think it's a good value for the money. It's quite small, relatively quiet and has plenty of power. Time will tell how well it will hold up, but so far it's meet my needs.

The first stand was damaged and motor is and was not right.
A second stand was sent it to was damaged.
A second motor was sent, it doesn't work at all.
Amazon told me to deal with the company, they said after a week that they will take care of the problem I am still waiting to see what is going to happen. Your company needs to deal with your shippers, both UPS and FEDEX were used and all of the damage seems to be a shipping issue.
I will be very carefull on what I order in the future. I have very little confidence in these shipping companies to deliver anything undamaged.

You should include the width of this roll and the over all length in the discription.

Although the Amazon page says that this is for ALL 22 inch Performax sanders, it is not. It is for the ShopPro 25, 22-44 Pro and Pro Max sanders. If you have the popular 22-44 Plus, this will not fit and you will end up returning it as I did. Search Amazon for the 98-2202 Infeed/Outfeed Tables, that is the one you want for the 22-44 Plus series of sanders.
