I really am pleased with this unit. My big dust collector is a Jet cyclone, i put this in line when I'm running the planner on big jobs. A lot easier to empty. I got a lawn bag holder and cut it down to hold the bag down, works great! Thank you !
I've had a few collectors this style. By far this one is the smallest, lightest, quietest and has the most suction out of them all. At half of the price.
It’s a great tool would buy again and refer people to buy it.
Very sturdy and easy to put together. Much better than the Harbor Freight one I replaced.
It works as it should and seems to be well built
This bench sander is meeting needs. The price is great and free shipping made it a winner. Time will tell for its reliably but it seems well built. I would have given it 5 stars but I didn’t like the location of the dust ports, separate ports for the belt and disk and located at opposite ends of the sander and are different sizes, albeit a size adapter is included. I would recommend this sander.
Not very happy at this point with my drill press. First thing when assembling the tube was which came pre assembled was not plumb with the base. Second after trying to use it either the spindle is not straight or something. The chuck wobbles and is very evident with a drill bit in it. It wobbles enough to shake the motor. I would like either my money back or a replacement please. My grinder and the sander I am very pleased with. Thank you.
The BD4801 is a solidly built sander that runs strong and smooth, but the on/off switch went out within the first week. I used it three times to sand softwoods without issue, but by the 4th use the switch was dead. I had another sander in my shop with a compatible switch so I swapped them and it fired right back up. Therefore, I am 100% certain it's the on/off switch. I've been using the borrowed switch on the BD4801 to get me by, but need both my sanders up and running. In the meantime, I've been trying to contact customer service for almost 3 weeks to get a replacement switch to no avail. I've called regularly during business hours, left a couple of voicemails, and used the online contact form, but no one has responded. Machine switches can go bad after a while, but this happened within the first week of light use and should be covered under warranty. I'm happy with the quality of the tool overall, but the customer service is nonexistent. Bucktool, I'd like to get this switch issue resolved asap.
The base is not stable with the wheels and the locks don't work well. Cannot use the bag inside because it will suck the bag into the cyclone. Besides that, it seems to do its job.
Well built solid machine. Very satisfied with purchase
Love my new drill press,very impressive tool,easy to use and fast delivery,customer service was quick to reply which means alot to me
Arrived in really good shape, with all the parts and to my surprise fully assembled. I’m new to scrolling although I think we may have had a scroll saw in my high school shop class… But that was a long time ago. It was true right out of the box. it’s easy to set up. It’s easy to adjust the tool angle. Blade changes are breeze, and you have really good control over the blade tension. I wanted this to be able to make small cuts on some things that I make for my grandkids. I have a 14 inch bandsaw. It’s just a little too big for what I have in mind and there’s no way I could do these kinds of cuts that I do on the scroll saw with my jigsaw. I’m glad to know it’s there in the shop. I probably won’t use it as much as some other tools, but it’s a nice high-quality tool that’s very affordable and supported by a good company. Highly recommend this saw.
The product itself is well made and works well. The customer service and quality control is terrible. I was missing a few pieces and contacted the email to their customer service department. Several unanswered emails and was finally just told they’d ship the parts out in a few days, no tracking number and no update. Two weeks since my initial delivery and still no replacement parts or a timeframe for the parts. I would look elsewhere due to the customer service and quality control.
Unit offers Very durable and sturdy construction. Had some issues n the mailing but customer service resolved issues.
Hi, the right & left work rest are a little scratched but it not a big deal. Thanks for the order.
Is this bag 30-inches tall, and does it have a mouth (clamping) diameter of 13.5-inches?
though the motor would be stronger
Thanks for reaching out. Both R&L tool rest were a little scratched, but no big deal. The 4 is because they said I would be notified when items were shipped. That didn’t happen. But thank you so much for having the parts available to order.
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.
I was looking for a more industrial unit and saw some reviews on this one. It’s not bad for the money. Tabletop on the disk side is cast aluminum and might not hold up forever for steel work. There is a cast iron or steel guide for the belt though. Will need to make a bigger belt table at some point. I’ve used it on 3/16” steel already and plenty of power. I would buy it again. The rotary table was on back order and I would recommend buying it with this unit for ease of access. I intend to purchase one when available.
(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.
