Review Summary

(This is essentially the same sander as the Delta 31-140.) High points: Cast-iron table with a 3/4" miter slot and cast-iron platen. Table stops at 90°and 45°. Has holes for bench mounting. Manual disc brake stops disc quickly. Dust collection is good with a shop vacuum attached. Low points: Its 1/2-hp motor created the least power among the test group of six sanders, letting us stop the disc more easily that we'd expect. The miter gauge is unremarkable with no positive angle stops.

…

Unreliable table-tilt scale. It takes some time to remove worn abrasive discs from the cast-iron platen. More points: The table tilts on a rack and pinion gear, but the detents for common angles are so slight that we had a hard time telling when they engaged.
