10-Amp 4-by-24-Inch Variable Speed Combination Handheld and Benchtop Belt Sander (HB424V)

EAsy to use, not too heavy for an old lady, speed control works great and there is great versatility of speed. I am sanding a floor and it does the job extremely well. I'm too old to carry a heavy floor sander up the stairs and no longer have a truck to return one, so this small size work-horse is the logical conclusion. Easily adjustable.

It's a beast. Big and heavy, lots of metal in it. Powerful *brushed* motor, does not bog-down much at all. A grown man could probably stand on this thing and sand a hole straight through the floor. Comes with two "L" clamps that allow you to flip the sander upside down and clamp it to a 3 (almost 4)-inch thick benchtop. Good design there, and very easy to set up & use. Has a trigger lock so you can easily lock it "On" for ease of use when on the benchtop. Box also contained a few belts of varied grits and a spare motor-pully belt in addition to those "L" clamps. Dust collection is not be the best. Works much better with a shop-vac hooked to it. If you're hoggin'-off a lotta material, you're gonna get mountains of sawdust *everywhere* if you rely on just the little bag it comes with. You may need an adapter to fit the 1-3/8" (one and three-eigths inch) dust-port on the sander to whatever your vacuum is. I would buy this again. Maintenance will be easy (brushes are easily removed from outside the case, no disassembly needed), belt-changes are a breeze, belt adjustment on the front shoe works like a charm, the clamps for upside-down table-top use are a great idea and work really well too.

Lots of power. Does exactly what it needs to. A bit heavy but manageable. Great machine at the price point. Would give it a five star but there is a short in it somewhere so I get a small jolt if I hold it in the wrong spot on the handle. Too late to return. I’ll just find the short. I have had great results with any WEN tool I have purchased previously so I am thinking this is an anomaly.

Quite heavy and solid. I sanded a tough living room floor and was about four feet from completion when it quit. Blew out a bearing. Really not priced for this sort of commercial level work with heavy grit belts, but was replaced by Amazon and the onerous job was completed. Easy to adjust tracking and to replace belts. Plenty powerful. Excellent for any reasonable job.

Switched from a 3x21 with small front wheel to this 4x24 with larger front wheel for larger areas. Has the expected functional power from it's advertised power. Good air flow over motor. The larger front wheel has extended belt life dramatically for larger areas. The belt stays fairly stably where it's adjusted even under decent load without wandering. Trigger latch works well. (wish it had a 20' plug length)

I bought this to sand some rough cut cedar boards. So far it does a good job. A very good price as compared to a Makita which would cost 4 times as much. I noticed that it weighs just as much as the Makita does which is a good sign. It tracks well and the motor sounds smooth. Hopefully it will last a long time. It comes with a pad so you can turn it upside down and use it to sharpen tools such as a machete. I haven't tried that yet. Since the price is so reasonable it seems that the 4 x 24 inch model is more heavy duty and a better buy. Perhaps more likely to hold up longer. ......One month later......Just want to add that I have been giving this sander a severe workout and the sander is doing great. I have sanded about a thousand feet of cedar boards that were cut with a band saw so they were quite wavy. You have to sand off a lot of material to get them flat which is a lot of work for the sander. On the belt sander with me it seems to work best to sand the boards down with 60 or 80 grit belts until they are flat and then use an inexpensive 1/3 sheet sander with 120 grit paper to get them smooth. They sand down smooth very rapidly with the sheet sander once they are flattened with the belt sander. The hard work is getting them flat. I like the variable speed. If you slow the sander down a bit the belts seem to last longer and it makes less dust. Anyway for the price I am impressed how well the sander has held up to what I consider a severe workout for the sander. Reviewed in Panama not the USA. I use a mail forwarding service in Miami to receive items from Amazon but that is not where I live.

For the price point it does a great job, tracks true, very powerful and well balanced. Can't speak about longevity, I just started using it. It performs as well as my Makita 4x24, but the dust collection is horrendous and I must make an adapter to use with my festool dust vac, but otherwise for the price point I'll give it 5 stars. I bought as a second 4x24, with lower expectations, but I am very impressed. It also has a nice weight to it, so it sands well without having to apply artificial pressure.

Good basic belt sander. Belt tracks well for the most part. When sanding narrow boards has a tendency to shift. Powerful. Biggest negative is that it is heavy. Good buy for the price.

This sander is extremely powerful at an excellent price. Great buy.

La lijadora se las recomiendo ampliamente sin ningún problema en adquirirla y su precio está a modo y a ponerse a trabajar

Esta lijadora es una belleza, robusta, potente, hace muy bien su trabajo.

This sander was bought for my husband, to use in re-building the veranda. He just loves the way it feels, works and handles! His only "wish" was that it had come with a storage case or even just a carry bag, but that's not a deal-breaker for him. He approves and recommends.

Buena relación calidad- precio, tiene buena potencia y es facil de manipular aunque es un poco pesada.
