I have own this sander for a few month . buy it for remodel work I be do to my house but I also have a little work shop where I make box and some furniture . this sander have pretty well take up residence in one of my wood vise . I use it alot in my shop . the belt stay on track and variable speed be really nice . I have a large 6x24 belt sander but it really do not get any attention anymore . I would recommend one of these in place of a stationary sander as it be so versatile .
