First Impressions

"Great machine."

It was a real pleasure having this beast for contouring and sanding. Glad I made the purchase and will recommend to others. The colors of the wires differed from the machine and the instructions. If you have a use for this substantial and flexible machine, go for it! When I upgraded to a better t/s I used my 1st/old one as a disk sander.

Shop Fox W1688 Final Thoughts

"Other than that the machine is perfect."

It was a real pleasure having this beast for contouring and sanding. I generate a great deal of dust with this item. I was surprised it held up as long as it did for the price. If you have a use for this substantial and flexible machine, go for it! First, the stand is too short and lightweight, so I made a new heaver stand.

Overall Score 4.5
