Never used a belt sander before. Much better results than I expected. Project finished much quicker than I thought.

It’s my first belt sander, it’s not bad at all. My only thig with it is, it’s a LITTLE heavy (…compared to others that I’ve used). But, all in all, it is a good sander!

Purchased on 09/29/16, put it to work the morning of 09/30/16 removing dried white glue, scenery material and thin cardboard on my former train layout wooden table (one section 24″ x 12′, one section 24″ x 14′ and one section 24″ x 8′). Sander came with 80 grit paper which did a fantastic job removing the above items, The 7510 sander performed to my expectations, for a reasonable price. Thanks SKIL for a great product.

I bought this a couple of months ago and it works fine except that the belt moves sideways whether or not you apply significant pressure.

As a part-time all-around residential renovator, I typically use three power sanders for my work, a belt sander, a random orbital sander, and a palm sander. I also have an oscillating tool with a rasp and a detail sanding attachment. This is my current belt sander.Belt sanders are most useful for coarse, heavy sanding over large areas, typically on plywood subfloors and finished floors, very rarely on walls, exterior siding, vertical woodwork, and furniture. This is the smallest variety of belt sander, and I do not use it often.First things first, this is not contractor-grade quality, and I would not recommend it for someone who uses it often (someone who lays or refinishes floors every day). Belt sanders are heavy-duty tools and contractor-grade sanders are very heavily built. If you need to do a big project (refinishing the floor of a living or dining room, sanding the damaged and repaired plywood subfloor of a large room, sanding a large deck, sanding any sort of mortar or cementitious coating on stone or concrete) and plan on spending a lot of time using this tool, don’t use this. However, most people who need a belt sander only need it for small, occasional jobs on wood, and that’s what this is great for.The dust collector fills up very quickly, so its best to use it with a shop vacuum hose attached, or to stop and vacuum out the dust collector frequently. This makes more sense after you use belt sanders a while and learn that you’ll always need a shop vacuum by your side on any project that involves belt sanding. You’ll also need to wear a respirator or at least a dust mask (please pardon me if you feel that insults your native intelligence, but hey, this might be used for someone’s first heavy sanding project).So with this belt sander, built for the casual user or the hobbyist, unless you’re very careful about cleaning out the dust, the tool casing will fill and pack with sawdust. If you use the tool more frequently, you can learn to take it apart and clean that out, but I wouldn’t recommend it and it’s not made so that’s easily done — the fact that it’s even possible on this inexpensive sander is just because it’s a Skil/Bosch tool. Just stop ever two or three minutes and quickly vacuum out the dust collector, or work with the vacuum hose attached.When using a belt sander on a floor or any horizontal surface, put the cord over your shoulder before you start the unit. In almost every imaginable use, the only pressure on the machine should be the weight of the unit. This unit has an elaborate pressure monitoring system to help you with that, but on floor sanding, other reviewers have remarked that it goes to the red light very easily (and this is why). Hold the sander in one hand, steady it with the other. If you’ve never used a belt sander or seen one used, go to YouTube and watch one or two videos of contractors using them, and you’ll easily learn the proper technique.So the pressure monitor only becomes more useful if you have to use this sander for some sort of complicated vertical sanding. There are very few scenarios when it’s best to use a belt sander for this kind of work instead of a palm sander or random-orbital sander. If you have to sand through someone else’s mistakes, you might use a belt sander on some sort of wall surface for that, but it’s unusual.All in all, be gentle on this power tool and use it for small, limited jobs, and it will be very good to you. The inexpensive Bosch belts, at the heavier grits belt sanders are typically used at, work very well in this. The controls to keep the belt from shredding work exceptionally well on my tool.

Product was on sale and did the job that was asked of it (sanding a large deck). In future would definitely consider a heavier duty tool, but it managed the job (with a little extra time). Also, back drive roller started lightly vibrating fairly shortly after beginning to use it, but has not worsened since. Overall, pretty good value for what I paid for it.

Good sander for the money. Came with sand paper also.
Jaqueline Gorczany (verified owner) –
Powerful and just about no dust. Excellent buy for the money.

I am 36 years old and very new to wood working. Haven’t done it since HS that’s why I included my age to show how new I am lol. This sander is very easy to use. Leaves behind very little dust which keeps you and work shop cleaner. I recommend to anyone from novice to expert.

While this sander works well, it is not as powerful as I thought it would be.
