More than Expected:
I am a rehabber. This saw was a great purchase. The sander has more than enough balls. It can take down stock as fast as you can feed it. Don't buy cheap belts and you will be more than pleased. The stand is great for sharpening and for small parts. The dust bag is a square hole. I have no clue if there is an adapter. The dust bag by itself is normal on the collection of dust.
Sander is "nice." Stand is "okay.":
I'm a big fan of DeWALT tools, in general. This sander is compact, powerful, ergonomic, and designed well, in general. In a new model, I would definitely change the square, rubber dust port. Attachments are a tad cumbersome to install/remove, and the rubber allows for a little too much movement at the joint. The sliding, plastic lock (same joint) also belongs on a brand of lesser quality. Other than that, I've had no problems with the sander. I have not used it without some means of dust extraction... more info
Junk. Pure Junk.:
I know you're actually supposed to use a product before you review it, but in this case, that is impossible. Sure, I plugged it in and pulled the trigger a few times to make sure it worked and was impressed by the the sheer amount of power in my heavy hands (heavy because this thing weighs a ton!). That's about where my amazement ends. Where to start? I put a belt on and go to sand the edges of some P-Lam, and end up ruining the door when the tracking knob FALLS OFF and sends the belt shooting off... more info
Why did I buy this belt sander:
I think I am on the third repair of this sander. Seems the switch has gone bad. The cord was caught in the rear of the sander between the housing and the drum and caused the shaft to strip. I can't remember the third problem. These are not all that good, that is why you can get a re-built one for $99.
