VEVOR 2IN1 2" Belt Grinder for Knife Making, 6" Belt Sander, 3450RPM Belt and Disc Bench Sander 90° Belt Holder with Sturdy Base and LED Working Lamp

THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL PRODUCTS I PURCHASED AS A RETIREMENT GIFT FOR A HIGHLY TALENTED WOODWORKING FRIEND. YOU MAY SEE OTHER PRODUCT REVIEWS WITH SIMILAR OPENING REMARKS. PRODUCT SPECIFICS ARE WITHIN. PLEASE READ ON. One of my best friends recently retired from his position at the local school district after 31 years and decided to leverage his woodworking skills as a supplemental income. I have watched him painstakingly cut, whittle, carve, and assemble blocks of wood, old tree stumps, or even limbs into everything from beautiful wooden bowls to pipes to pens to tables to other pieces of furniture and everything in between. Being one of those people that endeavors to help everyone, I took it upon myself to assemble him a set of bench top wood working power tools. I decided on VEVOR based on my personal experience with the brand and neither of us could be happier. One of those bench top woodworking power tools is this VEVOR Combination Sander (1” x 30” belt sander plus a 5” disc sander). Like all VEVOR products I’ve purchased in their woodworking series of bench power tools, this combo sander is built from quality materials. It’s a combination of metal and high density thermo plastic. It’s built tough and made to last. I’m pleased to say that it even has some features generally only found in higher end (full size) tools. This sander is perfect for the crafts my friend makes. It’s powered by a 250 watt motor and the split operation of the drive itself provides for 3450 RPM at the disc and a more sedate 1350 RPM at the belt. Each surface and speed is suited to different sanding tasks. The unit has highly adjustable disc table and it provides great flexibility in angle (up to 45 degrees) for most jobs. The tool even ships with a miter gauge to help with precision grinding work. I noticed when setting it up that you can attach your shop vacuum or dust collector to help manage sawdust contamination in your workshop (I only wish my kids would learn how to use a vacuum, in the shop or otherwise. But I digress). Stability wise, I wasn’t expecting the sander to be as solid as it is given its relatively compact size. It’s solid metal base is quite sturdy and it’s rubber feet provide vibration dampening. I’ve had rotating sanders and improperly attached grinders “wander” off workbenches in the past but not this one. Those rubber feet help prevent “wandering” and machine creep. The sander is easy to use once you have it set up. Simply adjust your tables as appropriate to your job, attach your shop vac or dust collector, turn the machine on, and go. It’s really that easy. Please don’t forget PPE appropriate to sanding. At a very minimum, wear goggles (or a face shield), a dust mask (or respirator), and keep loose clothing away from moving surfaces. This combo sander may look small but it’s not a toy. This sander was an excellent addition to my friend’s woodworking shop. It’s fairly priced and delivers. That’s value in my book. Of course the real proof is in the improved speed it helps bring to his small business production. Since setting up his Vevor mini-woodworking power tools, he’s quadrupled his output and that’s helping his business grow. I cannot ask for anything more and I’d not hesitate to order this tool again.

This has been a great purchase. I love the versatility of it and the multiple speeds. I placed it on a workbench so there’s no issue with stability or sturdiness. The instructions are clear and it’s been one smooth operation.

Had to hand start it, would not spin unless i helped it. Hard to change belts, kind of a pain to wiggle the belt around the table and lower belt keeper. Coarse belts barely fit , I'm sure it'll wear out on the bottom of the gaurd. I can stop it, not a very strong motor but it does work if you go lightly on pressure. I'm leaving the side guard off. Wish it had hook and loop for the disc sander, adhesive discs are a pain. For the price it's ok, wish i would have done a little more research on the features. The quick change feature for removing the belt is nice, flip the lever and pull it off the upper pulley is nice . Would i buy it again, probably not.

Unsurprisingly, build quality is about as low a possible for a technically functional product. Right out of the box plan on pitching the included grinding wheel unless you want to chase your grinder across the table as it tries to escape purely by vibrations. If you are lucky, your drive wheel for the belt sander won't be comically out of round. I wasn't that fortunate. But, my absolute favorite design choice is the guide/tension wheel that doesn't have bearings. Maybe you like barely lubricated sleeve bearings with a mile of slop and are already grinding out of the box. I don't. Find something better if you want a grinder/sander that will last for more than 10 minutes that you will hate every second of.

When everything is working it is a great product (I did not compare it to $500+ models). I found out that there are 2 main models (by all vendors) the one from Rayobi, Harbor Fright, skill, etc. and the second type by Vevor, backtool, ricon, porter cable. the first type are driven by belt and use 6" disk, the second type use direct drive, and 8" disk. The belt tension arm look very similar between the two types, All made in china. Reading many reviews I ruled out type 1, that use belt for the motor to spin the disk and sanding belt. Adding another part that will go bad after reasonable use. and also loss of power between the motor and the grinding wheels. I ordered the Vevor BD4083 for $169, as similar units were $210, $279 and $249. The BD4083 came with disk plate that was not flat, and about 2mm higher on one side. While waiting for the company to send another disk, I got the porter cable from Lowe's (that comes with 3 years warranty). Open the box of Porter cable unit, the disk was bent about 5mm on one side, completely unusable. I took it back. I did get the 8" disk plate from Vevor, and it is flat, and both the disk and the belt works great. I used it with hard wood, 80 grid belt, and 120grit on the disk, it works better than expected. Both trays are stable, and do not move or change angle. the differences in type #2 brands brands is the price, some use aluminum sanding belt drive, other use made of plastic (Vevor use plastic, Porter cabe Aluminum), the vacuum attach ports is different between the brands , and base made of metal or cast iron, (Vevor use metal base). On the Vevor, you can pull out the sanding belt easy, no disconnecting parts/tray to pull out. on the porter cable, you need to use a screw driver to pull the cover to remove the belt. On the bucktool and Ricon 50-114 you have to remove the tray. The dust collection port is different between the brands, but when grinding dust covers everything anyhow. the belt 4x36 and the 8" disk that come with the unit are high quality. I did get fast response from Vevor reps, almost daily e-mail. I do recommend the BD4083 The Vevor BD4083 is powerful machine, good value for you money, direct drive (no driving belt). I wish that the trays would be similar to the Porter cable, or use standard miter channel.

I gave it as a gift (he asked for it), a little underpowered, and one side of the shaft is threaded the wrong direction, so when it spins, it can loosen the wheel. You can fix this with a drop or 2 of Loctite

Well worth the money!! It took me about 20 minutes to get it set up and start using it! So far I really like it and believe it will help my woodworking a lot!

I would give it 4 stars... But it's just so cheap and functional, that the minor issues like loose bolts, or unbalanced wheel ( which was fixed by replacing the polishing wheel for $2). I really just can't complain. It's cool that the power source has a switch with 6 different power levels. The motor is also reversible, and the angle guide is somewhat adjustable. For less than $40 you really can't beat the functionality of this mini machine!

I like the adjustable speed. Multiple grit belts. Mounting holes to screw down. Just what I was looking for. :)

Conforme à mes attentes. Bonne qualité. Je suis très satisfait..

La he usado poco, pero me parece buen producto. La pega son las instrucciones, hay accesorios que no se cómo montarlos

I am very happy with this sander, I have used both the disc and the belt and found them to be a great resource. I have sharpened knives on it and like the way when using the belt sander I can set it to an angle that is comfortable for me to hold the knives. I make hexagonal game boards and it is so nice to use the large 12 disk to quickly finish the sides of the boards down to size. Plenty of power, pretty quiet and I recommend it.
