Lumberjack 250W Belt and Disc Sander, 230V Bench Belt Sander and Disc

This arrived a day early so well done toolsave, could have bought direct from toolsave and saved £15. So the machine it does seem to be a really nicely made piece of equipment for the price I have seen better and I’ve seen worse, at this price your not buying a top of the range industrial machine this seems to be a good quality diy machine and I find very reasonably priced for what you get I’m not commenting on the use of the machine as it’s only just arrived and I want time to evaluate the workings of it but as an all round machine this seems to be good value for money it was well packed and fitted together in 20 minutes ready to run I’m using it to sand wood as I’ve just taken up wood turning and need something to sand my work it will not see any excessive heavy duty work but from my own observations of this machine it looks as though it could do a good amount of work. I've looked at many of these sanders and read numerous reviews it was the amount of good reviews here on amazon that pointed me to buying this actual sander and so far I’m not disappointed the other reviews were fairly accurate and informative so I bought it I now look forward to using it within my new hobby. If anyone is sitting on the fence re buying a sander then I’d recommend this model it’s quite good for the money.This review is my own honest opinion I only give reviews on my own purchases and write my own opinions I generally buy things I want and read reviews of others to make my own informed decision and I’ve written numerous reviews for my purchases via amazon and I will only state my own thoughts re items I have bought personally at this moment this review is of the machine at set up only I will make a more informed remark after a couple of months of use. I hope I may have helped someone along the way remember this review so far is re the delivery the quality ease of setup and value for money which I find of good value but not re the use and serviceability of the tool

I have had this for some time now and it's been used a lot. It's a good tool and has proved very useful. It's a tool worth having in your workshop. It is well made and of good quality.

Very fast delivery and pleasing first glance at the stout packaging, followed very quickly by despair at the totally unacceptably thin polystyrene base under the sander. This is a pretty chunky piece of kit, yet no attention has been given to the protection of the item underneath. Unfortunately, this not the first time I have complained about this flaw and I have returned items because of damage to the lower parts of the tool because of it. It's a case of a 'apath of tar and it's about time machine tool companies who import from East paid more attention to the small things. Reviews of this type of product contain many references to this aspect of transport damage.Having got that off my chest, I must say that there was no damage as far as I can see and the machine seems well made, runs surprisingly quiet and smoothly. The instruction pamphlet is sketchy at best and some thought must be given to interpretation of small diagrams. If you are an engineer, you will have an advantage here.The machine has that extra 70watts of power over its competitors and is also competitively priced. Messrs Lumberjack have an extensive stock list of attractive workshop machines and will succeed in this cramped market place if they pay attention to the small things like securing the vertical mode by easier means of access to the relative bolt and a better manual.All in all I am pleased with the purchase. It only remains to see if it performs wellRecommended.

Brilliant tool , bought for my daughter who really loves it

Good quality, value of money.

Very quiet for a powered wood tool and little vibration. Can therefore be easily added to your worktop only when needed. It's so easy to use and effective that I think I'll keep it permanently ready for use.Just be careful as being too enthusiastic quickly results in too much stock removal!

Has performed so far. The instructions are mad: a tiny picture or the desired outcome and little else. With patience getting it built and working well is not a problem.The Allen key not that allows the sanding surface to tilt was set so hard a hammer was needed to move it.Changing a belt required removal of the base plate and one of the screws was cross threaded and set so hard it warped the plate. Third a variety of Philips screwdrivers, no joy. Used a power drill with screwdriver attachment and stripped the head. Had to use an angle grinder to cut a new flathead groove and got it off. Belt change was then easy.Hope this lasts. The motor seems strong but is pulsing a bit. Have mounted this to a strong board.Would appreciate better attention to build and better instructions but is otherwise a good item.

Why did I um and ah about buying this, it’s a brilliant piece of kit, absolutely spot on for me, I am a keen diy man and I make things out of beach wood as a hobby, it’s sturdy and well made, heavy cast iron base, took me longer to get it out of the box than it did to set up and use, literally just a few minutes, I consider it to be excellent value for money and I am more than happy with it definitely a 5 star from me, oh and arrived 2 days earlier than expected.
