Title: watch out for quality here
Review: When I first got this sander a year ago,1. first thing the conveyer belt fell off and tore itself to pieces.2. 220 grit sand paper just doesn't stay in place on this sander's drum. Just today, 2 wraps of new 220 grit paper self destructed. The clamps just don't hold.3. I can never get hold of performax (WMH? tool group) for any technical assistance. It's one of those "I am either on the phone with another customer or away from my desk" but they never seem to come back.4. The sand paper is expensive especially in precut rolls so I am going to get bulk rolls so losing a wrap is not so painful.5. The alignment of the drum to the coveyer doesn't stay put very well.6. You can't use just any dust collector to collect the rather fine dust. It plugged up my first one but now I have a cyclone and it is satisfactory.BUT, NOW I am addicted to the wonderful concept of wide sanding (no tear out anymore), so I will keep on trying to get around these problems.
