Moreover, I admit I was very satisfied when this machine functioned as it had to do so, giving more than satisfactory results. However Negatives to denote that the sander is new or not (in descending order): mobile center of inertia therefore binding on the wrists, which leads a bit too much vibration in the forearm when it comes to find the sander-material balance; Machine somewhat noisy; single sanding speed.
Very attractive price indeed, but to maintain a quality sander that can last over time, I turn to more expensive (average price X 2) and from German brands rather (my "herd" widening, comparison experiment growing accordingly between products to lower prices and "first price" products -from-de-brand).
Upon purchase, the stars were in number 4 or 5.
As of today, I have hereunto 2 stars for the remaining engine block and still going strong ... which unfortunately is leaving to breakage!
