do like the spindle and oscilation, and dust collection.

But if I didn't have the old one I might appreciate the belt more.

I'm curious how well it would work on polycarbonate, to "remove BS
marks". I may have to buy one to find out...
I think it would either work "great" or "crappy" (melting the poly).
Interesting that NONE of the benchtop units are variable
speed, unlike most of their handheld counterparts.


I have no idea what "BS marks" might be but it sands OK to
remove/shape material. All plastics do but you get a buildup of fused
particles along the trailing edge. Easy to knock off with a file or
knife.



Sorry, "BS marks" = marks left by a band saw. Thank you for your answer!
