2. Shop Fox W1855 Disc & Belt Sander

  • (7 Points)
Price Available

It arrived in 3 days, well packed and in perfect condition. It runs smooth and the fit and finish is very good. But the sander is cheap, so I didn't expect much. Only one belt speed and that speed is rather slow. This table too has no positive stops for 90 degree adjustment.

The truth is that the POWERTEC BD4600 was the 1/2 HP Motor Disc & Belt Sanders that we graded at the top. Having said that, there were several other truly high quality 1/2 HP Motor Disc & Belt Sanders we wanted to showcase here that just barely missed first place.

Shop Fox is another top producer of Disc & Belt Sanders. They build the tool that is next on our lineup. Shop Fox's Disc & Belt Sanders are great as well. It was terrific to test the W1855. I was very satisfied with this tool!

This Disc & Belt Sander is only $147.50. That is a terrific deal for a superior Disc & Belt Sander like the W1855 by Shop Fox. If you not sure about our number one choice, I'd look into the Shop Fox W1855 next. It's a first class tool at a good price.
