Great belt sander at a great price. Only reason for 4 stars is that my older Ridgid tools have better extensions on them that came with a lit plug and a Velcro strap for easier cleaner storage. This sander makes quick work of projects and the auto centering works really well. Also the dust collector works extremely well. I was surprised how little fine dust comes off of the belt.

works good with lite pressure, but somewhat under powered if you are used to other brands.
Leonor Hudson (verified owner) –
Really like the no slip feature on the belt! So far it works great, and I haven’t had to stop to put the belt on at all!
Delpha Rutherford (verified owner) –
Works as expected, dust bag clogged within an hour and is not easy to clean without taking apart sander. Tracking works well.
Icie Howe (verified owner) –
It is a nice unit but it feels a bit cheap. However it does the job and has taken the stress I have given it so far.
Raphaelle Ondricka (verified owner) –
compact design, powerful, decent dust extraction
Hollis Fritsch (verified owner) –
Difficult getting into tight places because of the size and the power is ok
Justen Cormier (verified owner) –

My Chicago/Harbor Freight sander died after several years, so I thought I would pay more and get a better sander. So far (6 months) it is just so-so. I DO NOT like the slow start up to get to speed. Maximum speed is very slow. Dust collector seems to work OK. Self-tracking belt? Didn’t know it was supposed to have one. I have manually centered the belt each time I put a new one on, and it seems to have stayed centered after that. I would have preferred a 3×21 belt, but Ridgid don’t make one. Easy belt change. Noise seems average for a sander.As seems to be the case with all new sanders, you cannot turn it upside down on a bench, which is a real pain. I have a Ridgid shop vac (a shop vac is a shop vac), a reciprocating saw (which is a heavy-duty beast!), a cordless drill/driver (which is the best one I have ever had), a multi-tool (which is great), but this sander is disappointing.I would only recommend for small light-duty jobs.

This belt sander might be one of the best out there and its a great price. The AIRGAURD Technology is not a gimmic…you can literally run it over a pile of sawdust and it will suck it up into the dust collector. I love it for the great dust collecting ability.
Kip Shields (verified owner) –
Good medium duty sander for the price. Fair value for a good tool.
Telly Medhurst (verified owner) –
Handles real easy, belt change is quick and simple. I would recommend this sander to anybody doing wood work.
Stanford Smitham (verified owner) –
using this sander to remove old stain from my deck…..only been used about 3 hours, so far so good…will know more after job is finished….
Ellie Koss (verified owner) –
Light weight, powerful, great value — belt stays true. Had to adjust a bit to it being angled (earlier one was parallel to the work), but no big deal.
Jimmie Crona (verified owner) –
Good belt sander for small projects and for kids to use. I wouldn’t recommend for larger projects or considered an actors
Neil Funk (verified owner) –
