I was expecting to pay an arm and leg for the parts I needed. I was figuring around $20 each.
BUT... To my surprise, they were only $1 each~!!!
When I expand my shop, everything toold I buy from now on will be Bucktool~!!!
I guarantee it~!!!
5☆☆☆☆☆ forever~!!!
I use this grinder, put diamond ration wheels on it to sharpen knives. The low speed works ideal to keep from heating up the knives metal.
This was very easy to set up - "out of the box" - The tracking & speed (1750) was perfect!! I used a new angle guide (fit with no problems), two sanding belts & finished with a leather belt to sharpen my expensive "Buck Pocket Knife". "AWESOME". If i can find another great deal I'll be adding one more for sure on my sharpening bench!! "Dan's Sharpening"
Good machine for the money
Replacement part fit perfectly. Received in a timely manner.
Short and Sweet: It arrived fast. It's very quiet and smooth. Works great on both speeds. Setup was easy. It has a bit of vibration but I'm certain I can take that out of if after I dress the stones. This will make a great addition to my new shop.
Exactly what I needed- thanks for having the part I needed for my sander
Works great for my application. I took off the grinding wheels , replaced them with leather 8” wheels. I also reversed the direction of the wheels for safety reasons
I needed a bench top sander to help with my art production for ages, but the bigger tools were out of my price range, and not practical for my living situation.
Finally fed up with this I took a plunge on Bucktool.
In just a week is has allowed me to move forward on 4 projects that've otherwise sat undone for 1-4 years.
The device is easy to use right out of the box. The instructions are simple and direct.
And despite being a cost effective tool, it feels solid and well made (time will tell).
About the only thing I'm concerned about are the shelves (work tables). I need absolute correct angles when sanding/cutting. I find even when I use a square to set up the one on my belt/disc sander there is some slippage that occurs while I'm using it. Maybe I'm not tightening up on the lock-knobs enough? Maybe the machine is vibrating a little too much? I don't know but I'm keeping my eye on it.
Thus far however, I have still been able to use both the sanders effectively and am enjoying the tool.
BUCKTOOL Bench Belt Sander with Direct Drive, 4x36 in. Belt & 8 in. Disc, 3/4HP, 5.0A BD4801
Well built piece of equipment. Powerful and comes ready to tackle any project. Motor and assembly are very dependable and I have no complaints. Would recommend. Won’t break the bank, but will be a part of my tool shop for the next 30 years I believe.
I just got mine, and the right side wobbles. What actions should I take so it doesn't? Not wobble free so far...
I use this for knife sharpening. Is a 3m 600 grit belt. It’s quit compared to other 1 x 30 belt sanders. Price was great.
I was having serious issues with my Dewalt DW 734 clogging up with saw dust when planning, even at the lowest cutting depths. After much frustration and on-line research, I luckily ran across a review with a picture of the BUCKTOOL Separator, being used with the DW 734 with excellent results.
I immediately ordered one and have been a happy camper, ever since. Even with the most aggressive cuts, this separator handles it all, without issues.
Now the planner that I was considering getting rid of, has become my favorite power tool in my shop.
All I can say is, "Thanks BUCKTOOL....For making such a practical and useful tool for woodworkers.
This is amazing! It works great and my husband loves it.
Let’s start with Weight; the grinder does not weigh a ton, which isn’t very pleasant when you have to move it around your shop. Next cause of it construction you need to be careful when you secure it to a grinding stand or a bench. The base is made of aluminum so you cannot tighten it as much as you can a cast-iron base. However, because of the balance of this particular machine, you don’t need to do that. I said it on my standard workbench and started it to make sure that it ran. It didn’t move an inch even on a dust covered bench. It was easy to assemble and change out the grinding wheels for the diamond wheels that I have for my lathe tools. The grinder size is just right for my shop and what I’m doing with my chisels. The grinder starts nice and slow and seem to have plenty of power once it gets up to speed. The durability will come in a lighter day due to the fact that I haven’t done anything other than set it up overall I would give this a good solid five star rating for what I’ve basically checked. the question I always ask what I buy another one from this company so far the answer to that is yes.
Like it!
just got my 4 x 36 belt sander and I’ve been using it for everything wood metal Micarta and it doesn’t incredible job I love it. I just wish the vacuum ports worked better. Through different sizes than the one for the belt you can only stick the vacuum tube in like a quarter inch which is kind of ridiculous. I just sawed the things inside the vacuum port and now I can put the vacuum tube about an inch inch and a quarter. They send you weird adapters that don’t work. But the sander works perfectly.
