Bucktool5.0A Belt Disc Sander 4 in x 36 in Belt and 6 in Disc Sander with 3/4HP Direct-drive Motor and Portable Al Base, BD4603 Upgraded Model

I found this sander to be a nice upgrade from my older one. Some reviews were mentioning when tightening down the tables you needed to compensate so it would end up in the angle one wants. This was happening only for the belt table on this unit. Easy remedy, I just cleaned the surfaces and (cut from a 5" disc) applied paper backed PSA 150#. Locks right in place now. Additionally, tracking works fine, very low noise level, .003 face runout on disc, solid operation and nice to have dust ports.

It's a good sander for my bench top. Set up was easy and straight forward. Good quality, no issues with this sander.

I love this sander. This is my first tabletop sander. I use it for small hobby wood working. There is only one issue with it.First of all, this thing is much more powerful than my craftsman handheld belt sander. I mean, like noticeably aggressive. This thing is a beast.The dust collection is really nice compared to my old handheld. I just have it hooked up to a small shop vac.Both the disc and the belt part are great, no complaints. If anything I have to get used to how quickly it sands. Both parts run smooth.Most of the assembly went really well. 97% of the build quality is very good. The only weak spot is the table. And not even the table itself, it's just as flat and square as my level is. But the point at which the table attaches to the sander is low quality. The table will wobble. It will move. It isn't square against the disc unless you bend it. It only took me about 30 minutes and a couple lock washers and some shimming with painters tape to get it mostly square and level against the body of the sander. But it doesn't stay. So then you have to keep releveling it every couple days. And what is so unusual is that the rest of the machine is really solid.

Works as described. Well made.

This sander is well worth the cost. It solved a problem I had in the manufacture of something in the shop. It is solid, well made and even beautiful with its lustrous gold finish. The rotating tables fasten solid and true, important for me. I added something it should come with to the disk. That is instead of having glue on discs I converted it to hook and loop so I can use sand net disks and change discs easily. You cannot get the 6” discs at HD but can find them on Amazon.

This has been a workhorse in our toymaking shop. I wasn't sure how well it would stand up with it's small size. But it has stood the test for years. I recently bought a second one so two people can sand at the same time.

Pro'sThe sander packs a lot of punch for your sanding needs.The Belt is easy to changeThe sander is light enough to move from one location to another but heavy enough to remain in place during useCon'sThere is a dust port for the belt and another one for the disk.The table remains 3/16" from the belt preventing you from sanding thin itemsThe sander is noisier than expected.

I recently purchased the Bucktool 4 Inch Belt Sander, and I must say, it's been a game-changer in my workshop. One of the standout features for me is its direct drive system. Unlike traditional belt sanders, the direct drive ensures consistent power delivery which is great for my students who tend to put a little more pressure than they sometimes should!Speaking of power, this sander packs quite a punch. Whether I'm smoothing out rough surfaces or shaping wood, it handles the job with ease. Plus, its solid construction speaks volumes aOverall, I'm thoroughly impressed with the Bucktool sander. It's efficient, powerful, and built to last. If you're in the market for a reliable belt sander, this one definitely deserves consideration.
