I have this sander and I have to say it's not that great. I used it as a secondary sander to sand my 24'X20' deck and a 10' bench I was refinishing. Even when you try to tighten the roller and adjust it, the sandpaper keeps walking to the side and gets caught up on the wood. I wanted it to do the bulk of the initial work but it ended up just being faster to just use my small Bosh corded palm sander.

Kind of ticked about this one. I can't figure out how to get it tight enough. It just eats the belt right up because it moves it to the side.

I can't say anything about the quality of this sander, but the feature to clamp it on a table seems nifty. Before I got a bench sander, I awkwardly had to rig my belt sander to make bandsaw boxes and such all the time.

Theres a knob on the side that you can turn to adjust how much one of the rollers tilts. This controls the drift of the belt. It does not control the tightness.

On this unit, the adjustment is not done via a knob. It is done via a small recessed screw. I had to look up the manual to find out how to make the adjustment. (#10 in the parts diagram)
