I Bought the Ferm after reading reviews of many other similar powerfiles type sanders. Many seem prone to build quality but although this machine was not mentioned in detail all other Ferm products received a good review. I am really pleased that I chose the Ferm. Build quality is solid with belt support is metal where others had foam pads which gave problems. I have used it on wood and metal and am very impressed with the ease of use and the results it produces. The case is excellent but it is a great shame that the machine cannot be placed back in it when one of the arms is in place. For the full protection offered by the case the arm must be removed but this is very inconvenient so most people would not be bothered to do it.

It works but the one I got the switch will not lock in to use in continuous mode. I needed it for a argent job so I did not send it back. The highest grit in the supplied belts is 120 and I had trouble getting 240 and higher grade belts. If you have a need for this type of belt sander then the 3 types of arms could be useful.

As the title, don't waste your money of this thing, If you can get the belt to stay on more than three seconds you will be very lucky, The pins drop out of the rollers every time it is switched on, fastening the attachments for different belts you need to have very strong fingers, also make sure you don't drop the attachment screw and spring or you may as well bin it straight away, This is thirty odd quid of my money wasted, So if you want one of these buy a proper named one not one of these cheapo things, This will end in my shed to be chucked out when I peg out.

Don't be fooled into thinking this powerfile has the advantages over other similar products by having the an optional 8mm belt. After you have used up the belts supplied with the powerfile you will find it difficult or on my case impossible to find replacements 8mm belts. Aside from that it's a really good product.

Feels good to use and does a great job. The 3 different arms it comes with helps to get into awkward places. Saves loads of time and effort shaping with plane and rasp. Wish i had bought on a long time ago.
