Sander?

[FL Guy]

Been eyeballing this sander and looking for real world reviews.
Any other recommendations?

Jeez, for over $500? There are many that are well under $200. What am I missing? My old Craftsman is something like the Wen here but it has a 6in wide belt and 9in disc.

Trick Tools is not a name I would choose but from the pic it looks at least one step over the ones linked by CraigStu especially if that really comes with a 1hp motor.

Besides that it offers also 8” grinding stone.

Would be interesting if someone has this machine and can share some insight.

What do you want to do with it? Personally, I like belt grinders to have a flat table to hold the work that is perpendicular to a flat sanding belt.

Don't have one, but yes, I think these multi,-tool grinders are considered good step, maybe 2 steps over the little craftsman, Wen, harbor freight sanders.

I have one of those on my Dewalt grinder. It’s kinda okay, removes a fair amount material but needs some sort of support if you plan on grinding against the platen.
