Which disk sander?

[shinken]

Does anyone have any experience of any of these two diak sanders?

They are proberbly the same unit from china but the tables look different.

If you have either of them is there any play in the disk? and how solid are the table? do they have much play in them? and are the locks any good?

Sorry for all the questions, help greatly appreciated

I briefly had a slightly different Axminster sander last year (no longer stocked) before selling it on (only because I got a Hegner off eBay! :wink. It was a very solid little machine. No vibration, very quiet when running and gave good results. Changing discs was a bit of a faff but, they're all like that, where you have to remove the table and lower guard. Don't remember there being a brake on my machine so, it would run on for 45 seconds after you switch off... Not that it's really that big a problem; you could always use a length of wood to slow it down!

No experience of the Draper or any of the other cheaper models (Rexon, Perform, etc.) but, I often find Axminster's stuff to of a slightly higher build quality.

Thanks mate for the imput mate hopefully this axminster model will be good too.

Anyone else got this particular model?

I've had the AX. 12DlMB for a few years and it's faultless IMO. :lol:
The one you are contemplating has a similar disc size, more powerful by a lot of watts (if the ad is correct) and massively cheaper, coupled with AX's service it's a no brainer 8)
