Review Summary

I bought this looking for a compact and lightweight belt sander and it was great for those 2 qualities but I returned it that same day I bought it because it is very slow which means it doesn't remove material very quickly and the belts slip a lot. I had to switch belts several times during the 20 minutes I used it because the belts got too hot causing them to soften and tear.
