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.

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.

This little mini belt sander was purchased as a hobby tool. I plan to use it for smoothing and shaping soft metals, removing flash on plastic model parts, etc. At first look out of the box it was well packaged and protected. I was excited and impressed. When I turned it on, however, I was less than impressed. It would only run in one direction, reverse. The connections to the switch were mostly cold solder joints and one of them had come completely loose. It vibrated so violently that I tried to clamp it down but the clamp couldn't be applied tightly enough because of the rubber feet. It popped loose and when I tried to pull the barrel plug from the jack it caught my hand with the grinder disc. It may be under powered for some work, but it grinds thumbs extremely well! I'm keeping it, but adding a mount to hold it securely. I'm also fabricating a guard and tool rest for the grinding wheel and fabricating a tool rest that actually has a reasonable range of adjustment for the belt sander side of the device. Finally, I'm throwing out the power supply and using a 5 to 10 amp power supply with fuse protection and a PWM speed controller. Since it will be a DIY project I'll add a soft start feature and a .96" OLED display to show RPM and current draw. It's enclosure will be attached to the new base I'm adding so that it can be easily clamped to any thickness of desktop or benchtop. I doubt this will reduce the vibration but one can always hope. I suspect this motor is a three pole permanent magnet motor rather than a five pole magnet and that is probably the reason for it running so rough. Final note: I strongly suspect there isn't a better option in this size available. The motors and power supplies all appear to be the same.

It's a little noisey but that's expected. I really love this thing, especially after all the hand sanding I've done, the current belt on it is so gummed up but this thing keeps ripping material beautifully. Definitely buy more belts and disks as the one that comes with it does not last at all but that's not a surprise. The workplate is tiny so idk suggest making one. Update. It stopped working and tech support is a joke. Do not buy. I will not be buying anymore vevor products

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!

Love Vevor tools for their quality and affordability. This grinder did not disappoint.

I'm assuming the motor has no capacitor and makes getting to speed a test of my fortitude. Works ok after that. I might consider a different grinder if you want instant speed and perfect results.

Folks, I very seldom leave reviews, but this is the exception. There were a few reviews that were so negative about the seller advertising an 8'' disc that the seller sends them out with a 6'' disc, a video with defective information indicated vsam, and way down the page confirmed the negativity & defectiveness suggestion that there will be a 6'' disc arriving. I contacted the seller, and they stated that their information at the top of the page was correct about this machine having an 8'' disc. Well, out of a great many I considered, this machine is the only one with great features, so I ordered one. Well, the bloody box actually says a 6'' disc, but guess what... there was found an 8'' disc! This machine operates really great, and I have tweaked some projects already. I am a master union craftsman, & I highly recommend this unit!!! It operates with smoothness, is not very loud, and the size is compact. There is one tiny issue... The black plastic guard for the 8'' disc, snugging up the screws, putting it back on, will crack the guard from the screw holes to the edge. Easy does it. Still a great machine, get ya one!!! Oh, BTW, I found an orange Allen Wrench and added cable straps to hold the wrench.

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.
