WEN 6307 Variable Speed Detailing File Sander with 1/2-by-18" Belt

This is a nifty, powerful, really well-built tool at a great price. I had tried the angle-grinder with attachment designs before and they didn't work half as well as this more purpose-specific design tool. It is heavy duty but light, easy to use and not annoyingly noisy. The angle adjustment is ready and doesn't feel like it is going to fall apart like the other tools i tried. It comes with an 80 grit belt installed and includes two extras 120 and 320, as well as a dust port adapter. It came properly packaged as well. I just started my project so unless I get surprised by something later I highly recommend it.

This thing is the bomb. Not expensive and sands really well. I've been using it for some wizard staff projects. I like how the belt has a little give near the base so you can press in and get a nice curve going.

I am restoring four sets of 6’-tall French windows which have 5/8” double-rabbet grooves where the doors overlap when they close. After spending a few frustrating days trying to sand the rabbets clean — first, using a flat-edged palm sander and then sanding by hand when the palm sander kept jumping out of the groove — I went searching on Amazon for something better. I was thrilled to discovered this Wen 1/2” finger sander. Whoever invented this gets a gold star in my book. The sander feels solidly built and works incredibly well for sanding tight spaces; it is the perfect size for my 5/8” rabbets and has already saved me hours of tedious hand-sanding. The variable speed works well, but I tend to use it on the lower speeds to maintain better control and minimize gouges. The adjustable angle has also come in very handy, allowing me to sand the tops and bottoms of the doors without having to take them all off the hinges (and risking they wouldn’t go back on correctly). The sander comes with only 3 sanding belts, so you will definitely want to order extra belts if you buy this sander. As for the price, you can’t beat this for $39.60. Other finger sanders cost many times that price. Presumably, they are built for much more frequent and/or heavy-duty use, but for this weekend DIY warrior — who happened to need this exact size belt sander for one specific project — this sander fits the bill perfectly. It might come in handy in the future for other projects, but even if it doesn’t, I’ve already recouped the cost in saved time and aggravation. The only reason I am deducted 1 star on this 5-star tool is that it does not come with any means of acceptable storage. The tool and the few accessories arrived crammed into a cardboard box which bends the end of the cord end so much that using the box for long-term storage could eventually damage the cord. The seller should either make the box a few inches longer to accommodate the cord correctly or include at least a cheap storage/carrying ba, even if that raised the price a few dollars. I had an unused tool-storage bag in the garage, but even that bag is not long enough to accommodate this very long sander comfortably with the cord; the end sticks out, but at least that seems better than tightly bending the cord where it meets the tool every time I store it. 5 stars for the sander, 3 stars for the lack of an acceptable storage box = 4 stars.

works awesome just what i needed . well got to say for the price its killer price see what DeWalt wants for there's there is no difference in product but you pay for there name. i own a few wen products and i have had no problems with them like there air filtration units have two a smaller and then next size up also have 2 other brands paid way more money for them and wen blows there's away.so dont hesitate on buying wen products.

How can you beat this build quality and variable speed belt file for under $30. We are living in good times. You will be amazed. And the bekts are dirt cheap, too. You won't regret buying this Wen Tool.

Great little tool. Never had one tell now and was a great buy and timing for a project I needed it for. Handy

Works well and easily handled for a guy. Not sure if a lady would find it easy to hold with one hand. The belts are easy to change and it is light weight enough to be easy to hold and use.

For a cheapy this thing works great! I cannot tell you about the longevity yet but so far I've worn out multiple sanding belts and its working great.

Excelente produto, superou as espectativas

this is a fantastic tool, works well for removing rust off metal and works extremely well for removing paint. with a 40 or 80 grit belt you can grind down metal quite fast with it. Great for automotive body work.

Se siente muy bien hecha y con componentes resistentes, la verdad no tenía demasiadas espectativas pero al usarla las superó, el rodamiento frontal se ve resistente. Por otro lado la heramienta hace un ruido similar a un taladro, bastante tolerable para trabajr en casa y no molestar a mas personas.

Easy to change the belts, just push the end of the assy in till it clicks, change the belt and press the button in the dust port assy to release the spring loaded assy. It runs great, but does get a bit warm when using it for a long time. I used it to remove the inside weld seam on square steel tube to make telescoping fixtures. I would buy again and am glad I bought it.

Buen producto precio calidad. Me hubiera gustado más velocidad.
