I have always been satisfied with my dewalt products. I purchased this belt sander to replace a cheap 20 year old black and decker. I received the sander in April and used it to sand about 15 deck boards. The shaft for he rear roller snapped before I cnagged by first roll of sandpaper. Now I have to take time off work to drop it off at a service center 20 miles away that is only opened M-f, 7:30 am to 5 pm. I will drop this off but in the meantime I just ordered a Makita 9903. I should have read the reviews here before I ordered this dewalt sander. Spend a few extra buck and buy something better. Don't purchase anything from Nationwide tools- their return policy sucks.
