Bucktool Combo 2" x 42" Belt Sander 6" Bench Grinder, Knife Sharpener BG2600

Esra muy bien el producto, funciona bien

I've had a 4x36" sander and a 1x30" sander, and this is a superior tool to both of those. Obviously it isn't competition for the much more costly 2x72" models, because it has only one speed and no ability to change out the tool. You do have the option of flat platen or slack belt. You also have the option to run it horizontally or vertically. I've only been using it for a few days but I already love it. There are two reasons I give it four stars instead of five - both are design issues related to the large worktable attachment. First, the belts are difficult to change if you have the large worktable attached. The belt has to make it around a tight corner to fit in, and removing the worktable is not a quick process either. Second, the large worktable interferes with the screw that allows the flat platen to be pushed back out of the way, so switching to a slack belt means going through the process of removing the table. All of this being said, this is an excellent choice for the price, if you're looking for a belt sander in this price range.

Overall I'm satisfied with this little belt/disc combo grinder, with that said there are a few things that I can see improvement on. Cons. First off the LED lighting is very dim compared to the available options today, the diode is about the brightness you would have in keychain lights back in the mid 2000's and battery powered not internally. The mounting bracket out of the box for the eye shield and light is much to close to the grinding wheel and doesn't allow for placing the lights closer to the work without modification... But hey you have the tool right there right? I just don't care for voiding warranties over poor engineering. The part table and swivel arm bolts are both different sized Allens, I would like a quick bolt or at least the same size so I don't have to fumble around for different wrenches, I'll end up welding levers on down the road more than likely. The quick bolt for tightening the metal table often gets in the way of the pieces I'm working on requiring me to adjust the vertical height along with table angle which again causes me to find that Allen wrench. The belt shroud over the small contact wheel is a single piece from motor to top entirely encasing it so don't expect to use the smaller wheel for light material removal. Pros. The motor is very quiet when compared to the other bench belt Sanders I've used. The provided belts, I believe two 80 grit and one 120 grit are of decent quality, I can't find any makers branding but they work well when hogging off metal and the abrasive stays on. Slack grinding feels as nice as my works several thousand dollar machine but don't expect to do major radials. The power is very nice for being so small, I've bit a few parts in hard and it took it like a champ. It actually feels more like a 3/4 than a 1/3hp which left me impressed. The belt wheels are very well machined and tracking stays right where you put it as long as you're not leaning into it to hard.... It is a quick swap belt you know. Belt changes are nice but a couple of quarter turn locking nuts would make it a breeze. The belt internal back rest is very smooth and about an eighth thick of what looks to be Teflon so that should last a while. I haven't cracked into the guts of it yet, but I really feel that this is a good buy. I'm a little irritated that on the website they're sold out and I had to pay an extra $20 for it here but oh well. Feels solid, runs well and looks to be built to last. Take caution though, this is still a home/hobbyist/light work model but well worth the price.

I was expecting cheap, Chinese made junk, about on par with the Harbor Freight sander I've been building knives on for several years. This is not some $2000 2x72 tilting knife grinder, but for the price, compared to what I've been using, this is a Cadillac sander. Instead of spending the money on a flimsy tool stand, they put it into a synthetic backing on the platen. I don't know if it is Turcite or something else, but whatever it is is tough and slick and flat. The belt runs much cooler because of it, and my knife blades aren't overheating. I'm not having to dunk the blades in water every few seconds. This is speeding me up considerably, both because I don't have to stop to dip the blades, and because my high carbon steel blades aren't flash rusting from the water. This sander is also far quieter and has far less run out on every part than the sander I've been using. Tracking the belt is easier, changing the belt is easier, and I don't have a big honking disc sander in my way when I'm sharpening blades. The only place I would fault it is that the table is a bit small to use with a jig, but I think I'll just pick up a piece of steel and make a table top to clamp onto the one provided. For the price, I can make my own tool stand and improve the table.

Bon produit solide et performant pour fabrication de couteaux de temps en temps très satisfait.
