Unit offers Very durable and sturdy construction. Had some issues n the mailing but customer service resolved issues.

Very good machine. Does everything I need it to.

“True” out of the box!

I had never heard of Bucktool, and the price looked too good to be true. But, I took a chance and am glad I did! Fantastic price, very good quality. Includes cyclone, drum, gasket, and all hardware. As someone else wrote; do not use the liner bag in the drum, it gets sucked up into the cyclone and causes dust to pass through to dust collector. Works flawlessly without liner.

(5) 8 hour days of planing cherry and the shop is amazingly clean. This DC caught virtually everything that went through it. Emptied the bag 2x with ease. We had a bit of dust from the 2.5 micron filter. I wish Buck offered a 1.0. I purchased one elsewhere, and had an even cleaner shop! I highly recommend this DC!

I have a small garage work shop and the small size is great. The auto-on feature works great. It is a little difficult to assemble (getting bolts lined up) and the assembly instructions are terrible. More parts are provided in the package than listed in the instructions. I had some questions so I called customer support. The first person I talked to was vey responsive but could not answer one of my questions so she had someone call me back which happened very fast.

This is a heavy duty grinder. Out of the box heavy, well balanced very smooth motor and bearings. Bought this to sharpen turning and wood chisels.
Only negative I wish the tool rests were much longer. But I love it
Will definitely be buying more Buck tools

I ordered the 12-inch 6.2-A Professional Bench Drill Press with IIIA Laser and Work Light for my husband. He is impressed with it and it is a great new tool to meet his needs. He has it mounted on a work table in his shop and seems to be very satisfied with it.

I wasn't sure I would like a slow speed belt sander, but this machine has won me over. It is smooth and really quiet compared to my other 3450 sanders. I really like the one-button belt cover release. Other manufacturers should take notice of this feature. Quick and fast, it is the way to go.
Overall, very impressive little machine.

Perfect fit!

There is nothing wrong with the bag. I just ordered the wrong one and will have to order the right one.

I bought this bench sander to replace an old belt drive sander with an burnt-out motor. It would have cost the same amount or more to replace the motor. My new sander is a lot more powerful and smoother runing than my old one

Happy with my purchase. Looks to be a solid and sturdy sander that will last a good while in my shop.

First of all I haven’t really used it. But here is my initial experience so far and tips. Seems like a great unit.

1) Packaging was great minus the brittle styrofoam but it protected it and that’s what matters.

2) The variable speed arm was very stiff. Emailed customer support and they sent me a picture of the nut that needed to be loosened. Just a smidge loosened and it is now smooth.

3) The run out (wobble) on the bit was initially .004 or .005 inches. Probably would have been fine but not good enough for my “OCD”. No debris I side the chuck. So I decided to remove the chuck all together and reinstall it.

Initially I used a rubber mallet to install it. The second time I used a piece of wood with a mallet. I made sure the wood was flush and even with the bottom of the chuck before knocking into place. Now the run out (wobble) is only .001 inches! Holy smokes!

4) There is a very good YouTube video on this drill press and made another comparing it to the WEN. He was mistaken with one aspect, the drill can be locked stationary at the lowest level. Just got to use the travel adjustment screw while it is at the lowest setting and make sure the drill is lowered all the way down. That YouTuber made a 3D part in order to lock it down in place. Interesting but totally not needed. He never updated or commented on his error. But still good closeout video.

Went with this one for the power, size, variable speed, and the travel adjustment. No other drill in this class matched the feature set of Bucktool 12 inch. If you look close at the other brands, they are almost all the same. These companies just add a bit of their own twist to make them different. Base plates, variable speed, travel adjustment, button layout. Bucktool seems as if they adapted all the best features from the rest of the companies and put it into one machine.

I think I am confident in it. Seems very solid and very little plastic. Extremely heavy and awkward to move. Currently sitting in my kitchen waiting for me to make space for it in my future workshop.
