Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is basically a good sander but there are some issues that I discovered. The wheel has axial runout of 0.020 inch at the rim which surprised me, I expected something more like 0.002 inch. Changing the sanding disks is time-consuming. The stock disk is 60 grit, too coarse for my work. It took me an hour to change it. This is because the stock disk leaves all its glue residue on the platter, which is very hard to clean off. I used acetone and steel wool. The platter is smaller than standard so I had to trim the new disk so it would work at all. The angle gauge is very cheesy, it is fixed at 2 points and bows off its mounting surface in between. Despite these problems, I was able to get my job done nicely with this tool. It runs real quiet, is very powerful, and basically user-friendly. The precision table and large size are nice. The 45 degree position stop is not very "crisp" but may improve with use. The tool is greatly enhanced with the Delta 34-779 mitre gauge, available separately. No mitre gauge was included. All in all, it's a good tool but obviously a tool made in China to meet a price target.

The DELTA 31-120 12-Inch 1/2 HP Benchtop Disc Sander is designed with a smooth-but-powerful 1/2 HP, 120-volt motor spins the sanding disc up to 2,500 RPM to suit the needs of the professional craftsman. The heavy-duty disc sander includes a steel disc plate that holds a 12-inch diameter, 80-grit abrasive disc. The sander's cast-iron base construction reduces vibration and includes base holes for bench mounting. The cast-iron table comes with table-locking handles and tilts to positive 45 and 90 degrees, while a 3/8-inch-by-3/4-inch miter gauge slot is built into the table for angled and straight edge sanding jobs. A top manual brake puts a stop to sanding in mere seconds. The integral dust collection fan carries debris away from the table, and the built-in dust hose with 2-1/4-inch OD connectors attaches to most standard shop vacuums.
