DeWalt Reviews

I've spent many hours doing Fret work. To my surprise, these blades leave such a smooth edge that there is little or no sanding and smoothing to do. "A GREAT PRODUCT"

For the price of this stand it is one of the most helpful inexpensive ways to get a stand alone sanding unit. Now I'll amdit to being a big DeWalt fan, even so I must still comment on the ability to make easy and precise adjustments. This unit is easier to set up and put away than any bench top units available, so if bench space is a concern this is for you(and me). Love it

In the course of repainting a room we determined that our wood floor needed to be refinished. My 1910 home has oak flooring around the room perimeter, but fir in the middle, because the rooms were typically designed for Persian-type rugs. Belt sanders will easily gouge and remove the fir versus the oak, so I was worried about getting a smooth and flat floor. Several of my do-it-yourselfer friends have done their floors, one floor looks like a sand dune with wind-swept ripples (belt sander gouging without a frame), the other has circular scratches but is flat (large circular floor sander). I have the DeWalt Belt Sander and found this frame to be the answer. I can sand with the grain of the floor and can eliminate the gouging. I started with a coarse grit to remove the wax and varnish and this frame permitted easy worry-free "floating." Now I'm going over the floor again with finer grits and the floor looks great!

The catalog description is inadequate and doesn't do the accessory justice. This piece is well engineered and a "snap" to install. Featured is a phenolic resin plate on the stiff aluminum base for smooth sailing. The forward mounting arm was easy to install on the belt sander and was designed to leave it on without getting in the way of other routine belt sanding. The frame snaps on and off. The height adjustment is exceptional and accurate. Well done, DeWalt engineers!

I have three of these sanders. I bought the first one about 8 years ago. I bought another 2 of them about six years ago. All three of them are still with me and are going strong. I wouldn't even want to venture a guess at how many hours they have on them. If you want a quarter sheet sander these are the ticket. I have never spent a dime on them other than replacing the pad on the first one I bought last year.

For a little background on myself, I am a fulltime maker log log furniture so my tools get used a bunch!

The DeWalt 120 grit paper is the best for interior (finish) carpentry. It holds up well under high usage and leaves a beautiful smooth soft finish - perfect as is, or ready for the next step paint or stain.

It is a wonderful tool and very useful at the house and garage

Not cheap, but lasts a long time. DeWalt makes a cheaper black diamond blade that only lasts they say 30X. I've also used one of those blades. In comparison, it was not as bad as I thought, and if you only expect to do a little cutting, the thinner kerf and lower price may be for you.

You have to have this flange to safely use a diamond blade or cut of wheel. I can't believe that DeWalt doesn't include this part with their grinders.

I dont use this blade evey day but it is worth it for the jobs i do use it for, it cuts quickly and smoothly, unlike abrasiveand does not wear out the saw. It is a pretty good blade for the money and cuts nice.

What a fantastic tile saw blade. My $200 made in China, tile saw with its cheap blade was trash until I borrowed my brother's blade from his $1,100 Dewalt tile saw. Wow!! what a difference. This balde makes the cheap saw do wonders. I bought 1 for myself and 2 for friends that saw the difference. The cheap saw still falls short of the Dewalt in features and convience, but you can't tell the difference in the cut.
