Title: Make sure you set it up properly
Product review: The unit comes with sanding disk and belt installed - ready to go, but not quite. It is important to go through the entire setup process as outlined in the manual before turning it on. The one I received had the sanding platen recessed slightly with respect to the top roller. Thus when you sand a longer board, you get a gouge from the top roller. The instructions cover this adjustment, be sure to go through it before use.After proper setup, I was impressed with the performance and lack of vibration - That direct drive pays off. I would definately recommend it.The only down side I have found is having to remove the belt guard to change belts. It is such a bother, I mounted a piano hinge on mine so I can simply hinge it open for belt changes.
