I bought this to use for power sanding bowls on my lathe, which I do a lot of. My level of involvement is that of a hobbyist who produces maybe one bowl per week, so a $250 system didn’t make sense to me.
When I was looking into the options, I came across this tool. Like the other Griz tools I own, I believe this one strikes a good balance between quality, capability, and price, among other things.
I am the proud owner of a Grizzly 19 “Have used their band saw, 1.5 horsepower shaper, and G0700 sliding table saw and have never had a problem with any of their equipment. I’ve only had it for a short period of time, but I can say that the build quality is far superior to what you might expect, and that overall, it’s likely to be difficult to beat. The Promax is nearly four times the price, and the Wecheer is more than three times the price. However, there are a couple of things about it that I wish were better.
A reviewer expressed concern about the length of the cords, stating that they are too short. However, I discovered that the length of the pedal cord could be a little longer, but the length of the tool motor is adequate. I have it plugged into a high-voltage wall outlet, and the pedal is on the floor directly in front of the lathe. The tool cord is as long as it needs to be for me because the tool shaft is only a certain length and the motor is suspended just above the lathe’s headstock.
At the time, I wasn’t aware (and it’s my own fault) that the collet was only 5/32 inch in diameter “… Currently, I only have 1/4″ sanding backup pads, and it’s nearly impossible to locate a 2 or 3 inch pad with a 1/8” shank. As a result, I’m creating my own. In exchange for $150 or more in savings on a similar and not necessarily better product for my purposes, I believe it is a small price to pay. In general, I’m very pleased.
Now it’s time to go back to the shop and make some sawdust:-)
