There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
For the coarser paper that the unit can hold, the machine works quite well and I am satisfied with the speed, quality of the sanded surface, effectiveness of the dust collector, handling of the sander, and convenience of the opposing "on" and "off" buttons.
Definitely not recommended until the front clamp is fixed.
There are two problems with the front clamp. First, there is a plastic surface sitting on the sand paper. Second, when the plastic wears down a bit, as it must with many paper changes, the clamp falls backward and lands against the housing. With the clamp mostly resting on the housing and putting only a little pressure on the sandpaper, the sandpaper (especially high grit paper) is prone to pop out. When the sandpaper pops out while the sander is running it puts that much more wear on the plastic clamp surface. It looks like the clamp will fail when the plastic wears down only about 0.015" or 0.020" Now that I understand the problem better, it is not surprising that the popout problem first appears on the thinner, higher grit paper.
I have changed the paper a few hundred times, but I expected the sander to last a lot longer than that.
Most of the other brands of sander use a metal wire clamp. All these designs are very similar.
I made a trip to both HD and Lowes carrying my own 1/4 sheet of 600 grit paper. I tested my 1/4 sheet on all the sanders I could at both stores. All the brands with metal wire clamps held the 600 grit paper well, and looked like they would give a very long life. These brands with metal wire clamps included DeWalt, Mikita, Ryobi, Black & Decker, and Porter Cable.
Only this Rigid sander and, I think, the Bosch sander have a plastic surface pressing on the sand paper aa part of their clamp design. Unfortunately I could not test the Bosch.
In any case, I am now considering only sanders with metal wire clamps.
