Cast Iron Tables add to the Heavy Weight and Rigidity
When I look to buy a Machine Tool. I want Quality, Precision, I want it well made.
I also look at the Weight of the Machine. I Do Not Want (a lot of) Plastic, and I will Not Tolerate My Machines being constructed of Aluminum ! I held out for a higher priced Sander that had a Thick Steel Body with Both Tables made of Cast Iron. The Extra Weight adds to the Stability of this Machine. I also opted for the 2 Inch wide Belt, over the 1 Inch.
This Sander Belt Tracks perfectly and does Not Wander. The Machine has Plenty of Power and Never Bogs-Down. I got a Value in the Pricing from this Company and I am Very Satisfied with My Purchase. I have since purchased many more Belts in various Grits of 2 X 42 Inch Size. They were Not Difficult to Locate. I recommend this Machine to anyone with a Business or Home Shop, looking for Reliability.
