Delta Reviews

This attachment is of the finest quality and will last a life time.It is a sturdy product that is easy to use and accurate. You cannot find a better product for the money.

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.

These fit perfectly and work great too.

The finer grit like this is better for small spaces, then you don't have to worry as much about taking too much off.

And for thin pieces you can flip them over to use more of the sand paper.

I like using 80 grit to trim near my pattern mark, and then switch to a finer grit to polish it smooth.

With thin pieces you can flip these over to keep from wasting part of the sleeve. And they are tall enough to stack several items together if you are making more than one part.

These sleeves fit perfectly and work great. The 80 grit paper will really take off the wood.

The large diameter is great for big curves, straight sections and convex curves.

I like using the finer grits to smooth the edges around the pattern marks. And the large diameters are great for gentle curves.

I used these on a drawer divider project. I stacked up to four curved dividers together at one time to get the same shape on each of them.

Drum sanders are notorious for leaving "stripes" in the wood at the rougher grits. Get a finer grit like this to smooth the wood more before going to your ROS.

And the bulk quantity is a much better deal than the pre-cut versions. Just cut on the lines and you are ready to install it.

Used one extensively at a past jobsite. Very well made and reliable.

I just finished a large timber framing project and this saw mad it soo much easier, you can cut thru any wood, the 7.5 is way more power than you will ever need, but i like it.the 18 inch blades are very hard to come by and pricy. I ran it with 230 on the job site but now it is in my shop on 460, not a hard conversion the hardest part is getting a electrican to rewire every thing (not many houses have 460 running to there house). This saw will cut thru any wood as if you just were pulling the arm,and for 7500 it isnt your average siding cutting, dado choping kindeling cutting radial arm saw.
