Einhell Belt Sander 800W, Strip Sander with Tool-Free Belt Change, Auxiliary Handle, Band Sander with Dust Collector Including 1x P80 Grinding/Sanding Belt TC_BS 8038

Looked for ages for a decent strip sander, going through review after review looking for something decently priced that wont break in 2 mins but wouldn't break the bank! This came out as top of the list for me based on above and it delivered! Got my stairs done in no time, make sure you get good sandpaper and boom, your work will be done before you know it. Its speed was great being 800w and the dust collection bag worked great, not to bad to handle with its weight being distributed evenly. Obviously there is vibration so make sure you take breaks, tho I've used other sanders that make your hands feel like needles for hrs, this is a lot more easier to use for time periods then others I have used. Its still going strong now, used it for many projects, was a worthy purchase.

Seems to be a good bit of kit for the price.

This machine has lots of power and takes some holding. It functions as expected in use. The band tension release is substantial and works well. For the money, not a bad machine. One surprising thing: I went to use the machine only to find the power was switched off at the power socket. When I went to switch the socket, the sander leapt across the bench, landed on it's side and continued running. There should surely be an electrical latch to prevent this happening.

Great sander for the money. Read lots of reviews that said the belt comes lose within mins. Mine did this too. I noticed the lever for getting the belts on and off was doing anything. The front roller has an adjuster on it for belt alignment. This gets stuck behind the lip on the front roller. Simply back the adjuster of and ha presto the front wheel jumps forward and you can see it sliding back and forth when the belt lever is used. It no longer slipped. Works great and sands very quickly. With 80 grit it rips pine down extremely quickly.

Fantastic sander, hold on to it because it will fly off. Great weight. Collects some dust but better attached to a hoover. Makes sanding easier.

lasted 6 months! do yourself a favour and avoid , the sander motor works fine but what happens is the belts cut into the plastic surround and gouges a hole in it which jams the belt to the point it is completely useless , , i mean seriously a bit of design forethought to have made the area nearest the belt out of metal

This is a good sander, at the price, if you want to sand down flat things like doors and cabinets. But there are a couple of negative points, in that, a) you can't turn it upside down and clamp it in the work-mate, to use it as a bench sander. I could with my old (broken) Black and D. Useful if you are cleaning up smaller multiples like shelf dividers or wooden door knobs etc. And b) the front "axle" has a large flange on one side which means that you cant tilt it on that side. A useful ability if you want to hollow out a bowl shape of get into a tight space on that side. There's no real "nose" to the sander, which means you can't get into smaller gaps. So, to be blunt, not as flexible as my old Black and D, but good enough for straightforward sanding.

At this price, why not? This assumes time is not a premium for you OR the size of the area to be sanded is not huge. Time is not an issue for me, so I bought this tool to renovate an old and quite neglected large area of decking. I am very pleased with it. My decking was in desperate need of TLC, but the majority of the timber boards (NOT grooved type - smooth surface) was structurally sound and so I could sand back to good in all but a few areas where some of the planks need replacing. I recommend firstly using "Green Gone" or similar product to kill the mould, algae, wood fungus and mycelium. No need to power-wash - once the timbers are fully dry, then sand with this machine. You will need a few belts of different grades (easily available and cheap). 40 grit is perhaps a bit too severe, so I used mainly 60 girt and 80 grit to get the wood back to a really nice finish, with the grain visible, without damaging the timber surface too much. Do NOT try and sand wet timbers - it just clogs up the belt and you get no-where. After "opening up" the surface with the sander, I applied a Wood Preservative to penetrate the timbers and provide lasting protection against mould, fungi and algae coming back. This can be applied even if the timbers are a little damp, it still penetrates. I have not yet finished, but intend to finally apply decking oil (2 coats) to the DRY timbers. This will need repeating every year. This machine has restored a great finish to a deck that was being considered for (expensive) replacement at a very low price. It will not need sanding every year, but power-washing followed by re-oiling once fully dry should keep it looking good for a few years.

Funciona bien. Para hacer trabajos con la máquina hacia arriba se hace un poco complicado ya que no es del todo simétrica y hay que hacer algún que otro invento para dejarla fija e ir co cuidado de no perder el ángulo al lijar piezas de esa manera. Lijado normal va bien, un poco pesada en comparación a otras marcas similares a esta. En general bien.

Correct en prima tot en met de levering!!

Der Bandschleifer überzeugt durch eine solide Leistung und eignet sich besonders gut für größere Schleifarbeiten, bei denen schnell Material abgetragen werden muss. Die Handhabung ist angenehm: Das Gerät liegt gut in der Hand und lässt sich auch über längere Zeit kontrolliert führen. Der Motor bietet ausreichend Power, um selbst härtere Materialien effizient zu bearbeiten. Positiv fällt auch die Staubabsaugung auf – in Kombination mit dem Staubbeutel bleibt die Arbeitsfläche deutlich sauberer als ohne Absaugung. Der Bandwechsel funktioniert unkompliziert und schnell, was den Arbeitsfluss deutlich verbessert. Pro: ✔️ Hohe Schleifleistung ✔️ Gute Handhabung ✔️ Einfacher Bandwechsel ✔️ Effektive Staubaufnahme Contra: ❌ Für Feinarbeiten eher zu grob (typisch für Bandschleifer) Fazit: Ein leistungsstarker Bandschleifer, der besonders bei groben Arbeiten überzeugt und ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bietet.

The sander arrived with the box damaged and the machine had saw dust all around like it was previously used although not indicated during purchase

Works perfect, just buy some good bands.
