Eastwood 12 Inch Disc Sander

Very good sander for the price. We go through a lot of disc sanders and Eastwood is definitely one of the better ones.

You can't go wrong for the price point! If you are going to buy one definitely go with the 12”, it has plenty of pore for everything I've done. The only improvement I can think of is that the exhaust port doesn't fit the average shop- vac hose, so you have to use duck tape or ducting tape! But not a deal breaker.

I bought this tool a few months and I tell you this is a great product. I was using a bench top belt grinder prior to purchasing this tool. Now that I have this tool, I really see the advantage of having that solid flat surface to rest you work on. I first used it to chamfer the edges of square stock for lay wire welding and it allowed me to put a straight chamfered surface along the entire surface to be welded. I love that huge steel disk. You can tell this is a workhorse.

I wanted one of these for a long time. I read the reviews from the previous buyers and was impressed. Disc sander is well-made, the instructions are good, and the machine really works well. This one is really a five star machine!

Very nice disk sander, glad I purchased it. Small problem with the screws that hold the disk brake in place. Upon assembly they weren't long enough and stripped out thus not holding the brake on. I tapped the holes to standard and put longer screws in their place otherwise I am satisfied.

I like the machine itsself, but I have issues with any brand of sanding disc sticking to it because of the texture on the disc. I've tried the ones sold directly from here, and 2 brands from Amazon (those were absolute trash) and one from my local hardware store. Is there a brand that will actually stick to the disc long enough to finish a project? I cleaned the disc before the first use and used air to blow off any residue.

I bought this for woodworking. I used to swap out a 10" sanding disc on my old table saw. My new flesh sensing saw does not easily allow for this kind of application. I shopped the woodworker's websites and was underwhelmed. Most of the units were weak on features and underpowered (1/2 hp). Top five reasons for buying this sander: 5. Stable rubber feet. 4. Hand brake. 3. Generous table size 2. Table tilts up and down. 1. 1.25 hp motor!!! I might give it a five star rating later, but I've only done a few test runs and I'll have to see how it holds up on a real project. I did have to fiddle around a little to square up the table, but it was not difficult with the adjusting screws. Eastwood should market this to the woodworkers. I've already talked to a friend who wants to get one.

Finally got the new 12 inch disc sander. I wasn't happy about shipping being delayed for two weeks. I talked with sales and they told me I should get it in two or three days. That was the only reason I bought it from your company since I needed it to complete some orders I had. I wanted to order from someone other than Amazon. Guess I'll spend my money elsewhere.

I bought this sander on 8-23-2020. I had not had the chance to use it until this week. The disc wobbles about 1/16" If you plan to use it for fine work like sanding segments for segmented turning or anything fine, this is not the sander for you. I wouldnt buy it again.

I just unboxed this and set it up only to turn it on an the bearing is squealing and the 12” plate does not run true. I put a feeler gauge on it and the plate has .156” run out. Getting any sort of flat even grind with this machine will be impossible. I would expect this from a harbor freight machine but paid more to get a higher quality machine from Eastwood. Now I know I paid more for the same low quality machine.
