I would get the Performax -- particularly for an asking price of $600. I
paid between $300 and $400 for mine (without the stand) and have not been
happy with it. My biggest gripe is that it's just about impossible to
connect the right hand side of the belt. It's so difficult, I don't even
attempt to do it any more, just wrap a strip of duct tape around that part
of the drum. Also, be aware that Ryobi no longer produces this sander.

I have the opportunity to purchase a brand new (still in the box) Ryobi
16/32 Sander, complete with stand kit and a ton of sanding belts for it
(all
assorted grits), for $600. Can anyone tell me if you have this unit, or
if
this is a good price?

Thanks

that's about the cost of a performax. I'd get the performax....

Must be hot at that price....or used??
