Pros

Disc sander comes with self adhesive velcro pad





Pros

Comes with stand which is quite stable

Disc sander comes with self adhesive velcro pad

Adjustable belt angle

Smooth operation

Fairly powerful.. it doesn't matter what size timber you're doing (i've done a piece pretty much the full belt length with fair pressure) it keeps going



Cons

The little table in front of the disc sander is wobbly as it is supported with only one grub screw.. but in saying that... when i've looked at the same sander recently, it looks like they have fixed the issue as current model in the showroom now has two grub screws

the plastic dust collection shield on the belt sander is a bit too brittle... Its being held by two screws and there is just not enough shoulder for them so the little edges break too easy under vibrations

replacing of the belt is a bit cumbersome

dust collection could be better

the metal fence is made out of mild steel which is way too soft.. chunk of wood hit it and has bent it quite a bit... so its more of afterthought than function



Overall

Not bad sander for low budget. it does the job

Having two sanders on one machine (belt and disc) saves on footprint

For the price, not regretting the purchase
