5.0 out of 5 stars More akin to a saw, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Porter-Cable 351P 3-Inch x 21-Inch Belt Sander (Tools & Home Improvement)

I was simply unprepared. Before this I had used a variety of orbital sanders to trim down edges and correct my measuring miscalculations. I assumed that this would be a variation on the theme...

I borrowed this from my landloard who had used it for the past half dozen years to annually strip down his 120 ft antique sailboat -- every sq inch of it. After wrestling with it for the first ten minutes, I managed to bring this amazingly powerful belt sander under control. Despite the resisance I was putting against it, the speed was consistant and in minutes I was able to smooth the edges from an homemade dining room table. A hand effort would have taken more than an hour. I used it for a few other projects and was astonished at how good it was, but the real testimony comes from its owner who lent it to me knowing there was no way for me to break it. This tool made me a Porter and Cable enthusiast.

I have used this belt sander for the last 10 years in my stair,railing ,and finish trim company.I prefer this model because it doesn't have a dust bag.I have used other porter cable sanders with the dust bag,but the bag just keeps getting in the way.It is also possible to turn the sander over and use it as a bench sander.The dust bag models won't allow this.GREAT SANDER!
