I could live with cosmetic damage, but this was major damage to the drive belt assembly. 2500$ mistake for HD.
Picked up the sander tonight, get it home and unpack, and of course its damaged. Looks like someone pushed too hard with a forklift, and pushed the drive belt out of alignment by a inch or 2. bent...
Thanks, I ended up purchasing the delta.
Thanks, do have a dust collector. I did end up buying the sander.
I bought the Delta Model. Still even cheaper without the 15%. Plus available now.
costs a bit more though.

I did a shellac under the polly, but not sure i would in the future, some areas seemed blotchy after using it.
I made my own for this build, Used 3/16" thick washers with anchors dropped into the top and the stretcher across. Will allow for 1/2" movement each way.
Lol thanks, he likes to be involved in everything.
supposed to be a video. Might have to click the thumbnail bottom left.
Got it all assembled. Its very stout. hardly any movement unless you really put your back into it.
