These are great sanders but expect to do some maintenance and rebuilding sooner or later. The drive drum may need replacing or brushes and so forth. You will have a quality belt sander that you won't be able to replace with newer models. Ear plugs are a must as these sanders are noisy. Newer models are quieter. I like the angle that the sanding port comes out as I mount the sander upside down on a table and use a vacuum with it.
