Awesome machine! Love it. Is bigger and more substantial than I envisioned it to be. The only thing I could say that needs work would be the drum and tool storage but that is a minor issue in the grand scheme of it. Runs smoothly, table is quite adequate and machine heavy enough to not bother to clamp down if doing smaller jobs. I am completely satisfied with the tool. Would recommend it enthusiastically.

As of 11/2024 you cannot get a replacement spindle for it if metal spindle damaged , spindle uses M-10 nut and I had trouble changing tubes, the upper threads of spindle were worn down , maybe by my technique as I have new visual issues, luckily Tacoma screw could start a new M-10 nut that threaded better . Beware Knockoff suppliers of parts I was told by customer service. Better get warrantee extender. Oh, It can connect to my 2.5 shop vac dust collector. !!

Makes short work of shape sanding , easy to change tubes. Plenty of power . Only downside side is storage of disk and tools . I have it I. A file cabinet so I store them in a drawer, which works well for me. The cylinders store on side and easy to reach.

First, the good. It has a large, square, solid work surface that's smooth allowing material to glide over it. The front of the table is adjustable for sanding at an angle. The dust collection is quite good. The sanding drums change out easily and there are storage areas for both the sanding drums and table inserts making for organized storage, something I find particularly important.Now the bad: It is very VERY noisy, more than any other machine in my shop. The spindle has a wobble which is quite noticeable with the largest drum, creating a vibration which makes working difficult. After I had worn out the sanding sleeves I ordered replacements from WEN only to find they are one inch shorter than the drums.I use this to profile knife handles and it performs this adequately but due to the noise factor I have increasingly resorted to using files and rasps instead of using it. I still use it because it's there and I spent hard earned money on it but had I known then what I know now, I would not have bought it.

The tilt table and easy to change sanding rounds are perfect for multiple art and home repair projects!

I've barely used this piece of equipment and already parts have broken on it. First, I found the insulation around an internal wire missing (so, there was an exposed wire inside the unit). And now the drive belt disintegrated after less than a few hours of use. Unfortunately for me, I can't return it for a full refund. So I will wait for the belt to be shipped to me and then I will sell the unit. I will never buy another Wen product ever.

This was my second purchase of the same model - somewhat against my better judgment - but Wen seemed to own the market in this price range. My first unit lasted about 4 years with only occasional use. This unit died right out of the box.Amazon took it right back and gave me a refund, but the effort of repacking and lugging the thing to UPS was a pain. I can't understand how Wen can sustain the high Amazon star ratings.Update!! It appears there was an element of stupidity involved in above review. I discovered today that the breaker had tripped on outlet tied to spindle sander :( Upon trying another outlet I discovered that the unit is working fine. So I'' give it the benefit of the doubt and see how long it lasts.

Aunque se compran aparte los juegos de lija, podrÃan venir incluido de diferentes granos.

As soon as I first turned it on it was very noisy but seemed to work but within 30 seconds the oscillation stopped working. The noise was a high pitch screech that just wouldn't stop. I checked to see if there was anything out of alignement but couldn't see anything wrong. That was my first Wen product and I was really hopeful after all the reviews I read and videos I watched online. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to its reputation. I packed it and sent it back within 30 minutes of receiving it.

Really disappointed, this sander work only for 2 days (5 hours total) and the belts for the oscillation broke. I don’t recommend buying this.
