No problem

So far I don’t have any complaints on the Bucktool model after buying it from watching your 1st video. I think the dust collection is excellent like you said (some of those Amazon reviews said it sucked....maybe they were comparing it to a $700+ machine or something). Full disclosure, I have only had it for a week.

Who knows what they were using, an actual dust collector or maybe a small shop vac. How long was the line, etc... alot of factors can come in but people usually dont give those details. Thats why I briefly went over my set up in that first video too. People are also quick to blame the tool before trying to see if anything different can be done to improve their results. This is a big part in why I dont usually look at other reviews before giving mine.

Hello my friend. Thank you for the information and publicity. see you all the time. big greetings. stay healthy and happy.

Really glad I found this vid! Looking to buy a good disc sander and I was intrigued by the direct drive connection to the belt and disc of the BuckTool sander. Its quite a bit pricier than the "others" so wondering if its worth it? Just wondering how's your impression now (pros and cons) that you've had this for a couple of years. ;) Still recommend it after having it "long term"?

Still love it... just used it a ton to make some spoons/spatulas. Only con i have is it is a big footprint in my micro shop. But i still love it. Check out the upgraded pro model. Hook n loop on the disc and i believe faster belt changes since table mounts are on the other side. I havent used it, just what ive heard

The humor in this video (shakes head). You are such a child.

Their just given me a hard time. Its all in fun. Glad to hear u enjoyed it too 👍

I have a craftsman similar to the skill. Its 4.3 amp too, i think. I wanted to replace it for more power, but the buck is only 5a. Im not convinced its a real 1hp, the one you have is 3/4hp, both are 5a. Seems kinda sketch, like they reduced the duty cycle of the motor to up from 3/4 to 1. Maybe ill save for a harbor freight 6x48 with a 12a motor. Thank you so much for your compassion.

can you do the buffer wheel conversion you did on the Skil to the bucktools?

Great review. For the occasional woodworker it's ok. That's all. Beats hand sanding. For the price Harbor Freight has sold boat loads of these cheap sanders.

Harbor Freight released an updated version of their Central Machinery as a Bauer brand sander.

on the harbor freight sander how do you think it will do for sanding heels for men shoes? Its rubber.

@@BradsWorkbench yeah just got it. Had to give the belt more tension and seems like it’s working ok. Sharpened a chisel and will see about sanding some wood. I wish they made jigs for that size of belt.

I appreciate your review here but wish you had just made it all one video, because I had to click your user name and search for part 2. I would have gladly watched the entire video in one sitting...besides there is such a thing as pause or bookmarking it. :-) But thanks again, cause I am in the market for one of these. Leave out the lude jokes next time. P.S. So many people complaining about the HF model stalling. Well, if they were to ship the belt driven sander set at full tension, and it's sitting in a warehouse, then the store for a while before someone buys it, the belt would be worn out from all that tension all that time. Common sense, people. That is actually a very positive inconvenience to have to set the tension when you are setting it up. As for the dust collection and tracking...I dunno.

It would do it but will take alot longer and probably be more frustrating. If u try it be sure to keep your reviept. They do have a 30 day return policy

Any sander can do the job, if you know how to use sanders, you can spend a fortune for some glorified sander that will not make you a pro sander. It takes skill and patience, if it can move sand paper it can sand.

@BradsWorkbench

Yup, exactly why I said it would get the job done but just take alot longer. If theres something I'm willing to spend money on to get the job done faster, it's sanding

Could use the mechanism of the HF with a better/more powerful motor.

Right, its a hobby shop grade tool. They are built to hit a price point. Check out the new buck tools 4x36... they made a "pro" model that if i remember correctly allows u to change belt without removing anything
