Works great
A fine product. I bought an open box version from a 3rd party vendor who sells on Amazon, and then discovered that the Ridgid guarentee is therefor not available.

Exactly what I needed.
I had to sand down four picnic tables so I could restain. If you are not careful it will remove a lot of material!!

Not sure about power button
Great sanders. Feels good in hand, easy to move and control. Would have given 5 stars however the start trigger seems to not want to start the motor, there's a tiny delay. I'm guessing this may be due to it not starting up at max speed. I don't think it's a bad connection ( wishful hoping) . I'm more inclined to think it's the brushless motor and starts a little differently. Will see what happens.

Unfortunate demise of a great tool.
The sander runs like it has been incorrectly refurbished...speed up, slow down; speed up, slow down...leaves a gouge on the lead edge on the speed up cycle. In fairness: I have two other Ridgid power tools that operate flawlessly, so I will put this sander in the "exception" category. Returned to Amazon, purchased a DeWalt replacement...have MANY DeWEwalt items, the top shelf choice of 20V power tools.

Fantastic
This product worked great. Despite getting an item that had been previously returned and the box being destroyed, the product itself was in great condition.

Great Belt Sander
After reviewing the full range of belt sanders available, I chose the Rigid R2740 to replace my old Wen sander. The Rigid is powerful enough and easy to control. Since I don't normally sand wood floors with the tool, I don't need a 4" sander since that has too much power. The veriable spped, easy belt chanaging, and automatic tracking all work well. What is amazing is the extremely efficient dust collection system. Using a tapered hose attachment, I was able to hook my Shopvac to the dust outlet. This arrangement worked fine. I would recommend this sander to anyone.

Not as good as expected
It does sand, but it does it slower than expected. The automatic location of the belt on the pulleys does not work well; you can't move the belt to the side to sand the edge of a floor. The bottom of the tool is not flat; it protrudes in the middle, making it difficult to make a surface smooth.

The best belt sander ever!
Best belt sander I've ever had, I had given up on belt sanders for the longest time and just relied on palm sanders (took awhile to get some sanding projects done) until I found this one, and boy am I glad I bought it! I would recommend this sander to anyone interested in it.
