@@bobolsen7132 you're welcome 🤟
Great review, I have looking at this sander to add to my workshop
I bought a Centeral Machinery 4" x 36" belt sander in 1995 and, when the motor burned out 12/13 years later, just went and bought another one as just a replacement motor from Grainger was about 4/5 times the cost of the entire replacement belt sander from HFT. Now, it looks like, the next time I have to replace my Central Machinery model, I'll be taking a close look at their new Bauer brand model.
_...and, when the motor burned out 12/13 years later..._ From the customer reviews I read on the product page of this Bauer sander, it looks like it won't last *13 days,* let alone years.
@@IllusionSector, Looks like there's not much difference between "Looks Like" and "Has" and/or "Did". 🤔

It's *your* money, brother. Trust me, I would POUNCE at the notion of an attractively priced quality tool, but please tell me if reviews with these titles inspire confidence:
● *Do Not Buy*
● *Already dying*
● *Would not buy!*
● *Died after 6 uses*
● *Returning it tomorrow*
● *Switch broken with 5th use*
● *DOA* (two reviews have this subject line, actually 🙂)
⬆︎- and this, mind you, is just a filtered list of only the negative reviews citing longevity/durability problems and not other issues, which are also present.
But hey, if you happen to have bought one and can confirm that it fared well in the long run, I'd happily eat my words and buy one myself.
Thanks for the Buaer belt sander review. I have the old central Machinery belt sander, which while it generally gets the job done the rough running belt dosen't do much for a positive user experience. As is usual, with a lot of Harbor Frieght tools, "modifications" have to be made to get them to "work/conform/perform" with (general) industry standards. Your mention of "smooth running" caught my ear. I'll have to check it out. Thanks. The fact that Harbor Frieght has upped their game on a lot of their power tools is a big plus and it keeps them in consideration when I'm shopping for a new power tool.
I bought one when they first came out. I'm a hobby woodworker and don't need it often but often enough to justify the cost. It's quite handy in my little shop space.
Yup I love it!
Great review - thank you. It looks like the Bauer model is exactly the same as the Performax 4.3A belt sander you'd find at Menards and the Grizzly G0787. Also the Dewalt Stealthsonic shop vac fits the dust port perfectly and is a huge ear saver compared to my Rigid shop vac.
Thanks!
This is the best review you’ve done so far bro, Quality content 👍
Thank you very much!!
Appreciate the review…. Definitely help me in my decision to buy one.👍😎🙏🇺🇸
Thank you!!
Was just about to step out for one, and decided to look up reviews. They owe ya a commission now lol
Thank you very much
got the same one but the canadian version from princess auto, works good for cleaning up/ truing saw cuts before welding
Yes absolutely
Thank you, much appreciated 🌸, no music though 😅
Look at Zirconium belt for them. Much longer lasting and good for stainless.
Thanks!
Excellent review 😊
Thank you!
Can you sand a glass bottle on this?
Can you hook up an variable speed controller?
Just got ours - am I missing where you store the allen wrench?
I’m only asking because I want to buy one today but do you really think you were putting 25 pounds of downward pressure on that to stall it? That’s about three 10lb pound dumbbells, it didn’t look like your arm was straining that much.
Here in the UK. This belt sander comes in several different branded names and colours but it's all the same. However the price can be double for the same thing.
Mine was £99 now. it's almost £200 new. That's the cost living bs
Long time sub ❤
Thank you!!
Can you 3D print a holder for the circle grinder too? Just make a shield to catch the dust and fall into the vacuum? Would you great if you could.
i thought about it, but it would likely often interfere with the piece youre working on
@@PoorManMods makes sense, thanks for the great content!
thank you!@@CanadiaEh
Is the disc hook and lock?
Peel & stick
i got the old bit larger green one last year it`s china stuff but its ok for the cash
A+
Yeah this one is just smidge nicer than the green one I think
@@PoorManMods yea fit finish is blaa i tweaked a few bolts with my own stuff i never put table legs on mine or the guards only thing needs be better still is the round thAngy-mu-bob that drives sanding belt as it is plastic with bearings needs be a metal pipe i will do that one day if i keep it the belt drive motor is cool and tweakable. most of all it needs paint say top coated with rustyolumeleee hammered metal black/grey paint 🤠the green looks sad like were its made at commie😕 china lol
Way too long. Repeat yourself over and over. 5 minute vid is all that you needed.
