I think I was sent a used belt sander
Just received my belt sander haven't used it yet just took it out the box and noticed that it's a little dirty upon further inspection I noticed that there were sawdust on it. I removed the belt and noticed that there are fingerprints on the back wheel and pressure plate as well as scratches on the pressure plate all signs point to it being used. Supposed to be new but I think it's used

This belt sander has done what I have needed it to do right out of the box. The pressure sensor is nice and seems to be spot on. I had run this thing continuously for over 20 minutes and it never overheated and kept running and doing the job. For a good reliable budget friendly belt sander, I don't know if it gets much better than this. The filter is questionable. You might break it if you try to open the housing. I was reading that the whole piece needs to be replaced, it's probably just worth adapting a vacuum hose to for dust control.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best low-cost belt sander
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023
Verified Purchase
This replaced the disappointing Ryobi BE319 that I used until the motor burnt out. This Skil sander is so much better and less than half the price of a replacement Ryobi. If you’re a DIYer like me that uses a belt sander a few times a year, there’s no sense in buying a pro sander that costs hundreds. This one may be low-cost, but very nice. The automatic belt tracking to keep the belt right on the edge works great. That makes it possible to sand right up to a vertical edge like a wall or fence. Little things like putting the trigger lock on top where it is easy to get to. There is even a pressure warning light to let you know if you are applying too much pressure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like a champ -- dust collection not so good
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2019
Verified Purchase
This inexpensive little belt sander is really impressive! I needed to sand the peeling paint from my 400 sq ft deck prior to staining it, and I was about to rent a belt sander to do the job when I ran across this tool. Buying it cost less than renting a sander for 24 hours, so I said what the heck? And it totally worked like a champ -- sanded the heck out of my deck, right down to the raw wood. I don't know how it would do on a more demanding, interior job, but outside on deck boards it was perfect -- light, maneuverable, reliable. Far better than renting!

Two things to note. First, as others have said, the dust collection doesn't really work. As one of the photos illustrates, the vast majority of dust was left on the deck. Not really a problem for me because I was outside, but inside this might be an issue.

Second, follow the directions and unplug before changing the belt! I did this most of the time, but one time I forgot, and triggered the machine at the wrong moment. No injury to me, but I did shred the rubber sleeve on the drive wheel. The sander didn't hold a belt after that, BUT I was able to find a replacement for under $10 on the internet, and now this little baby is up and running again. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pequeña, ligera y muy eficiente
Reviewed in Mexico on November 7, 2021

Pequeña y ligera pero muy eficiente, el sistema que trae para que la banda no se salga de su lugar es excelente ya que esto te permite trabajar en diferentes ángulos sin que se esté saliendo y se estén rompiendo las bandas. Hago pequeños proyectos de carpintería y es ideal para estos, en ocasiones me gustaría tener una más grande con mayor fuerza así que, si la vas a utilizar en proyectos caseros o pequeños como yo te va a ser muy útil pero si tienes un taller más grande te va a ser falta mayor fuerza y superficie de banda para lijar. La relación precio-calidad es Excelente ya que está bien construida y con buenos materiales, además de que cuenta con el control de presión, recolector de polvo rígido y sistema de control de banda. La compre con descuento a un súper precio $1500 con gastos de importancion ya incluidos y aún así mucho más barata que en otros lados por lo que te recomiendo aprovechar una de estas ofertas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value
Reviewed in Canada on August 11, 2021

I bought this sander halfway through a carpentry project when my eight times as costly Makita sander decided it was time for the motor to burn out. In my experience, this is not something unusual for Makita, their alleged robustness notwithstanding. This Skil had some good reviews so I ordered. At that price, what was there to lose? It arrived the next morning and was able to finish my project with almost no interruption. Operation is flawless, the belt stays in position and the transparent dust catcher makes sense. The 18 inch belt is a size down from the Makita but didn't notice any difference in use. Some posters have remarked the unit gets hot. I didn't find that to be the case at all but with power tools I am always mindful of duty cycle so never push these units to the limit. Show some mercy and let it cool down once in awhile and I think you will be just fine. Maintain some perspective. If your intention is to sand a ballroom floor or a roller-derby track, rent a drum sander or hire a guy who has one. This Skil is priced and built for the handyman, furniture maker, stairs and railings builder etc. - not the sort of industrial user who needs to grind down 2 x 4's into toothpicks all day.

Surprisingly light with a nice feel to it. Mine came with a medium grit belt installed - just right for many projects. As with most power tools, be sure to use hearing and eye protection and keep your fingers clear of the business end. Bottom line: "Skil" name and quality for the handyman/homeowner/craftsman at a great price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rugged compact belt sander for the DIYer...

Great compact sander. I used it to sand off 2 coats of paint from our front porch and stairs. Very powerful for its size and very easy to install the sanding belts. The pressure control system helps to ensure that you do not apply too much downward pressure on the tool. My only complaint - hence the 4 star rating, was that after a few hours use the trigger lock stopped working (perhaps clogged with dust?). I ended up using a tie-wrap to lock the trigger in place and had to unplug the sander to turn it off. Note: I do not recommend this approach, but there was too much constant sanding to do, and holding the trigger for 15-30 minutes at a time would have been too difficult. So, to sum up, very satisfied with the tool's performance - just disappointed that the trigger lock failed.
