Shop Fox W1676 Belt/Disc Sander

Reviewed by: WOOD Magazine

Review Summary

High points: Closed base has shelf for extra storage of sanding supplies. The least expensive combination sander in our test. Low points: A single table must be moved from belt to disc and back. Post-mounted table deflects under sanding pressure and, when tilted down to 45°, reduces the capacity of the sanding disc, already limited at 10". With belt removed and arm horizontal, idler (end) roller can fall onto the floor.

…

Tight quarters make it difficult to get a wrench on the arm-locking bolt for moving belt to horizontal from vertical and vise-verse. Odd-size dust port on belt.
