Rikon 50-120 belt/disc sander

[Dave Mcintire]

Has anyone tried the new Rikon (woodcraft) 6" belt/10"disk sander? Any comments?

Dave,

I bought this sander a couple of weeks ago at Woodcraft when it was on sale. I just got it set up--went all out and put in on a $15.00 Harbor Freight stand lol. I have run it just enough to know that the disc is true and the belt tracks fine. Just haven't had enough time to use it to see if the motor bogs down under load. Fit and finish on mine were ok. I do like the fact that the full belt is above the disc.
