Skil belt sander worked pretty good for what I needed it for. Used it to sand a solid hickory bar top and matching floating shelves. Started with 40 grit, then 60, then 80, then 120. Each time I used it I got the same results. The 120 grit belt worked the best. With the 120 it actually sanded more off in less time than any of the 40, 60, or 80. The attached filter captured a lot of dust, but its a belt sander so there was also a lot that didn't make it into filter cannister. It was definitely worth the price I paid for it.

Does the job well, without leaving scuff or burn marks (when operated correctly, of course!). I used a very light touch (always had a green light on the Pressure Indicator), and, it practically did the job on its own! Despite the manual claiming that the belts can be "easily" put on and off, I found it difficult to do so; there just wasn't enough slack. The sander's dust filter attachment seemed to work, though there was so little debris that I couldn't tell one way or the other (i.e., was anything vac'd or did most fall on the floor?). I wanted to attach my own vacuum cleaner to the dust port, which claimed to be a "standard 1-1/4 (inch) vacuum hose," but it wouldn't fit any of my multiple portable, stand-up, or shop vac, hoses! I made do by wrapping duct tape around the openning of a smaller vac's hose, then squeezing it into the Skil sander; a tapering dust port fitting would have been nice to fit more than just the stated size's vac hoses, "standard" or not. It's also heavier than I would have liked, and, most of the time, I was forced to use it with one hand, and found it difficult to use, even with two hands (the oddly-named "auxiliary handle" (there is no other!) is not situated well (needs to be extended a bit) and is too bulbous for me (not easy to hold). It doesn't lend itself to being used upside-down or upright, and the manual expressly warns against it, but, at one point, I was forced to do use it upside-down, and, though it was a bit of a struggle to keep it upright (I have no way to clamp/vise it down), it worked (I used my vac hose, not the filter attachment, to avoid breaking the latter). I purchased multiple grit belts from a third party, and they worked quite well. Despite my criticisms, it did the job, and it was well-priced, so, I am satisfied, and can recommend it.

I bought this because it was recommended as an easy to use, lightweight, basic, belt sander for simple projects - and for a good price. Our Craftsman Belt Sander from the 1980's had died and just using a palm sander to try to strip peeling paint did not work. This stripped the peeling paint off our shed trim very well. Be sure to use the correct sandpaper for your job! I am a 76 year old woman and found it easy to use and very happy.

Le doy 5 estrellas por la relación cálidad-precio. Es potente, la banda no se dejausta y es cómoda. Es una herramienta que se calienta muy rápido pero te funciona para proyectos caseros o de bricolaje siempre y cuando se le de su tiempo de descanso, el indicador de presión te funciona muy bien ya que ah este tipo de herramientas no se les debe de ejercer presión, el trabajo lo hacen con el propio peso de la herramienta y lo hace muy bien simplemente hay tener un poco de paciencia. Si ejerces precion de más acortas el tiempo de vida de la herramienta. En general es buena pero es de uso casero, yo la encontré en oferta y me salió en $800 pesos mexicanos.

Estaba también dudoso por algunos comentarios. Pero para trabajos en casa está bien. En mi caso compré un par de lijas de la marca diablo y valla que hizo la diferencia, he lijado varios trozos de madera. La dejaba enfriar x lapsos de tiempo y me di cuenta que regularmente hay que vaciar el contenedor de polvo incluso lo sopleteaba porque al no pasar el aire provoca que se sobrecaliente.

I bought this sander halfway through a carpentry project when my eight times as costly Makita sander decided it was time for the motor to burn out. In my experience, this is not something unusual for Makita, their alleged robustness notwithstanding. This Skil had some good reviews so I ordered. At that price, what was there to lose? It arrived the next morning and was able to finish my project with almost no interruption. Operation is flawless, the belt stays in position and the transparent dust catcher makes sense. The 18 inch belt is a size down from the Makita but didn't notice any difference in use. Some posters have remarked the unit gets hot. I didn't find that to be the case at all but with power tools I am always mindful of duty cycle so never push these units to the limit. Show some mercy and let it cool down once in awhile and I think you will be just fine. Maintain some perspective. If your intention is to sand a ballroom floor or a roller-derby track, rent a drum sander or hire a guy who has one. This Skil is priced and built for the handyman, furniture maker, stairs and railings builder etc. - not the sort of industrial user who needs to grind down 2 x 4's into toothpicks all day.Surprisingly light with a nice feel to it. Mine came with a medium grit belt installed - just right for many projects. As with most power tools, be sure to use hearing and eye protection and keep your fingers clear of the business end. Bottom line: "Skil" name and quality for the handyman/homeowner/craftsman at a great price.

Herramienta de buena calidad. Viene con una lija de grano grueso, por lo cual es necesario comprar un paquete de lijas con granos de distintos grosores. Primeramente la utilicé para lijar unas tablas de madera de pino y el resultado fue muy bueno. El contenedor del polvo de madera es muy bueno y práctico para quitar, limpiar y poner. Este es un producto recomendable y a un buen precio.

Pequeña y ligera pero muy eficiente, el sistema que trae para que la banda no se salga de su lugar es excelente ya que esto te permite trabajar en diferentes ángulos sin que se esté saliendo y se estén rompiendo las bandas. Hago pequeños proyectos de carpintería y es ideal para estos, en ocasiones me gustaría tener una más grande con mayor fuerza así que, si la vas a utilizar en proyectos caseros o pequeños como yo te va a ser muy útil pero si tienes un taller más grande te va a ser falta mayor fuerza y superficie de banda para lijar. La relación precio-calidad es Excelente ya que está bien construida y con buenos materiales, además de que cuenta con el control de presión, recolector de polvo rígido y sistema de control de banda. La compre con descuento a un súper precio $1500 con gastos de importancion ya incluidos y aún así mucho más barata que en otros lados por lo que te recomiendo aprovechar una de estas ofertas.

Overpressure switch comes on even with little or no pressure applied. Othewise works good. The only other problem is plastic container doesn't seem to come apart which makes cleaning of this item very difficult. It looks like the black plastic end should come apart but doesn't seem to ( didn't want to force it in case it broke ). If there is a trick on how to open the plastic case up and clean inside of all the dust, I would really like to know if it does come apart. Otherwise seems to work good.
