Belt usage
I just bought a 10 pack of these belts. They are 3M but made in Brazil and packaged in Mexico. They run in either direction. This way you can run in the other direction and pull off some of the buildup. I have grit 100 and ran a belt for 1.5 hours. It is holding up well after that run. Good price. ... Read more

Good value for the money.
I bought this sander a couple of weeks ago and I have used it nearly everyday since. I've been building an end table and a couple of different mantle clocks and have given this sander a pretty good workout. The motor is plenty powerful and I haven't noticed any swirl marks even with the 80 grit paper. I have noticed that it is not entirely dustless since it will get some light dust gathering on the base of the tool but nothing floating in the air. For $40 I don't think you can go wrong with this tool.

Great Conveniance in Sandpaper
This 4 pack in PRECUT sandpaper is a great boon to the Performax 16-32 drum sander. The sandpaper easily locks in place at the right angle and perfectly rolls up on the drum sander to create the perfect sanding operation. Changing sandpaper grades is quick and simple with the precut sheets. The 100 grit is perfect for a medium finish with about a 1/64" stock removal per pass.

The precut paper is easy to work with, and quick changes when going from rough cut to final finish. With proper care and alignment, the paper last for several thousand board feet of sanding. If the paper becomes overlapped on the drum, it will create burn marks on the wood and weaken the paper on the overlapped edge, also reducing the productive life of the paper.

I'll spend the few bucks more and let Performax cut the sandpaper to the exact angles needed for perfect drum fit. ... Read more

Very Nice
I would recommend this tool to any handyman, I have used the sander and am very well pleased with it.

Waste of money!
Don't throw away your money! I purchased this as a backup sander to my makita ros. Any pressure placed on this sander other than its own weight will greatly decline the rpm's. After just a few hours, this sander lost all of what power it had and it now resides in the trash. It's loud and it has a terrible vibration. Take it from me, spend a few more dollars and get a makita! B & D's are nothing by throwaway tools.

Works great but poorly built
Inexpensive, light weight and works really well. What more could you ask for.... After only 2 hours of use the handle part simply fell apart. The plastic casing started to literally go to pieces. Maybe an occasional defective one that got thru inspection. Exchanged this one for a new one. Same story. I think the vibration is too much for the casing.

More than I expected
I bought this sander based on price. I thought it would help with a specific project and perhaps I would buy a "better" one later. I found this to be a great sander. It's powerful, yet smooth and I have even used it with 200 grit to sand BETWEEN coats. Now the only sander I plan to buy is something like a Mouse to get into corners

I sanded for weeks with this sander!
This is an easy to use orbit sander which can be used for refinishing desks or other projects. The 5-inch pad with Velcro brand hook & loop fasteners is so much more advanced than the ones they used to make. You can now easily change out the sandpaper when you need fine or coarse sandpaper.

The built in dust collector is a real boon. Not only did my first sander not have one....it also made me cough and left dust all over the garage. This is so much better! This is a good little sander for the casual woodworker. I have had two, my dad stole the first one I had. It sure beats those belt sanders, which cost about the same price to rent. They also pull you half way across the room! Seriously, this it so much better!

When you are refinishing, the job will be easier if you use the paint removal products first. Look for the non-toxic ones. They are out there. Then let the wood dry completely. You will then have an easier time sanding. I found a 50-year old teachers desk and finished it to perfection. You would think it was new! Yes, it took weeks of hard work, but there is nothing that makes you feel as proud as a finished product. I am sitting at the desk as I type this. All thanx to a great sander. ... Read more

Hook & Loop is fast and easy!
I have been using the 7335 sander with this hook and loop pad for years. Some people complain about the holding power, but I use 60 grit discs regularly with no problems (maybe vaccuuming out the pad from time to time would help them). In fact, I just bought my first replacement pad only because a "helper" sanded without a sanding disc and wore off the hooks.
The hook and loop system allows quick changing of sanding discs as well as disc reuse. So you can quickly go from rough to fine sanding on individual pieces, and save the discs for the next job. ... Read more

Good sander for the $$, only a couple of issues
I've had my B&D 7448 for a bit over 4 years. I use it a lot and use it hard. I'm impatient so I push tools hard instead of letting things take their normal course.
I've never had a problem with the paper coming out, ever. In fact, on mine it's very tight and clamps quite hard.
I wish the levers were larger.
I'd like it to be quieter - however I can't hear the sander when the vac. is running anyway and one SHOULD use hearing protection when using power tools. Like the pros on TV do :-)
As far as "how it's made", mine finally got VERY loud and ran slow and erraticly - I found the upper "brearing" is a plain sleave. The other sealed ball bearings are perfect, but the top "bushing" by the brushes is shot to heck. It's gone. Yeah, I push, but for a few cents per unit, a ball bearing here would make it quieter and make the whole unit last longer over-all.
So, out I go looking for a bearing and I'll have my favorite sander running again. (I'm a top mechanic and specialize in electrical systems - and this is the most simple power tool I've ever opened!)
It's light, easy to use and the next best sander costs over twice as much, so I can replace a couple of bearings in 10 years and still have a cheaper sander .... Takes about 5 minutes to disassemble the sander and replace the bearing - takes longer to go get the bearing.

Reliable, hard working sander
I have spent countless hours and reams of sandpaper using this sander for at least 8 years and it's still going strong (used mostly on softwood). It is powerful enough using 60 grit paper to take down dowel ends, round edges and level uneven wood height (even end grain). After 60 grit, I use 100, 150 and finally 220 grit for a perfect finish. The 1/3 sheet size gives the unit a stable footing on the work. The unit is made for two hands but you can use one hand comfortably especially with fine grits. Paper changes are pretty fast but could be easier if they made the lock levers a little bigger. The best way I found to get the paper on easier is to clamp and crease one edge first, flip the paper around, clamp the other end then attach the first pre-creased edge.

Be warned that you can expect dust to go all over the place using this unit. It is best used outdoors or like I do, with the garage door open and a fan blowing out over the work. If I do replace it, it will be to upgrade to a 1/2 sheet sander with a dust bag (at four times the price!!).

NOT FOR WOODWORKERS
I own two of these, and they both have given up the ghost. This is the first bad review of a tool that I've given here[...], But I feel that the truth should be known. First of all, this thing takes way to long time to sand down anything. Either it eats the paper too fast, or like on my second one, the clamps were not strong enough, and the paper kept falling off. Not to mention that this thing is louder than my table saw.It's been a few years since mine died, and I've come to learn one undisputable fact. If you buy a low cost tool, you'll get poor results. What upsets me is that Black and Decker knows what kind of tool this is, but they still continue to make it the same way. No improvements at all. When I compare this to what I have now, they'll never get my money again. Don't put good money after bad. If you can't afford a high dollar sander, Ryobi has got a dandy little sander at an affordable price, and it's a heck of a lot better than this one. Buy anybody's but this one, you'll be glad you did. Sorry, Black and Decker, But I call it as I see it.

Do not waste your time or money on this sander
The paper will not stay on! I repeat. The paper will not stay on. Spend more and get a product that does what it was intended to do. This product does not!

Spend more, get more
I concur with Handy Dan. The paper simply will NOT stay clamped down. After fighting with it for 3 days I took it back to the store. Other than that it was doing fairly well. I plan on spending more money to get a quality tool that will work as it should. ... Read more
