Much easier to handle than any other I've used. This is a real improvement! Changing belts is a snap. I gave my old regular sized sander away.

This belt sander is easy to control especially if you have arthritis. It works especially well in the building of coffins. Yes, I said coffins. Fits into small areas that larger ones won't. Just needs to be used gently not with a lot of pressure. I would say it is not built for sanding a house.

I love this thing. I almost never touch my other belt sander now. My only gripe--and it's not an inconsiderable one--is that it becomes very hot to hold after only about 3-4 minutes of running. And I do mean "hot"--hot enough to make the body distinctly uncomfortable to hold, and hot enough for me to worry about soldered connections inside melting. Connecting a dust hose to my 2 1/2" shop vacuum helps cool it a bit, but merely enough to double the run time to about 6-8 minutes. Then I must set this sander aside and let it cool down for an hour before using it again. Do I happen to have a defective unit?

I just refinished a circular stair in 130 year old house. The oak treds had dirt ground into them and at least 1/8 inch of wood had to be removed. Job needed power and small manoevrabile machine that could do flush edges. This porter cable was the only sander that could have done the job.
For finish and in between coat sanding I used mouse with 220 grit, but without the porter cable 14 X 2 1/2 inch the job would have been impossible.
Great machine!

I bought this thinking it might be a nice tool for my kids to learn on being small and easier to handle than a larger belt sander. It has now become a favorite of mine. It is lightweight and with a 50 grit belt it has enough power to cut through most jobs. I am very happy with my purchase.

A great sander for trim carpenters or cabinet installers,all wood workers in general. Easy to control in one hand for fine tuning trim and any material. It's a little work horse.
