Surprisingly good and cheap mini tools

[Johnny Mike]

In searching around I can across a mini power sanders that was so cheap it caught my attention.

I thought they were probably low quality, poorly made and pretty much worthless to use. As I have a few of these type's of tools. But the belt sander was so cheap, I think about $35, it sucked me in and I bought one.

I was surprised at the high quality and fit and finish of the little sander. There are no plastic parts and most parts are high quality aluminum fitted together very well. Good bearings that track the belt and it has a forward and reverse DC motor that is smooth and quiet. I now use it all the time and put my larger sander away.

I was so impressed I found and ordered the same type of disc sander and drill press that have the same motor with variable speeds. These are not toys but real work tools. Along side my Byrnes saw they are my go to tools. Hoping Byrnes will be able to start producing their disc sander again is all I need now. 

 

In the picture you will also notice a gray box under the bench that is a Dental vacuum that works quite well.

It is powerful, quiet and has a variable speed motor. For small dust loads it is perfect and my old shop vack's are in the same place my old belt sander is.

You did not miss it.

I can build almost anything but I am no good at

electronic communication.

What is the brand and where did you purchase it?  Also, did you make the disc sander?  If not who made it and where did you buy it?

 

I can check out the sources and see if they are interested in becoming MSW sponsors.

Take care,

Kurt

I want to make sure everyone knows I do not promote or represent these tools and just 

stumbled across them on the internet and was impressed with their simplicity and quality.

 

The small horizontal disc sander was purchased on line. MXBAOHENG

 

I was surfing around on Amazon and just typed in mini power tools and started looking.

I am sure these are Chinese manufactured units so I didn't expect much for $70 but was really quite impressed.

They are listed by multiple vendors but search MXBAOHENG as that seems to be the manufacturer or importer. All of mine are this brand.

 

I see you are from the far west Chicago suburbs. I am too.
