Picked up the sander and when I opened the box at home, it was used; missing the belt, some scuffs around the sander, and dust in the bag. My rating is not about that but about the performance. It’s ok. I notice some slipping of the belt from time to time on not too difficult passes. I wouldn’t recommend based on the price and performance

This was a surprise gift for my husband from our kitty on Father’s Day! He LOVES it!!! He’s so thrilled to have such a quality sander! I purchased a Ridgid Orbital Sander years ago and he loves that too. Ridgid is the best!

After trying several inexpensive belt sanders, I bought this Ridgid model and was very please. Belt tracking was good and the tool handled well. The first project was to sand glued up cutting boards and it performed very well.

Smaller compact sander that works excellent. Easy to use. Gets into tight spots. The variable speed makes it very versatile.

Put to work on a series of 6” x 18’ deck planks. With 50 grout sandpaper, it was just right. Happy with the machine.
