3d Sander
JAN

2008
When I first started up this sander and tried it out with the sanding disks supplied, I was disappointed. Before I decided to throw it away, I decided to cut disks out of real sandpaper and used double sided foam tape to hold the disk to the sander. I was very impressed then. Now I don't have to worry... review »

Not for real use ...

but if you're working on something small that doesn't need much sanding it works pretty good. I've had to make my own disks because they're hard to find. The wheels are hard to keep on and once you've knocked one off it won't stay on. Paid $24 for mine, if they had been $9 I'd have bought 2 so I'd have... review »

No One has disks for this thing

Sander was a new item years ago and I think Black and Decker made it or one similar to it. It was 9 bucks around the holidays so I bought one. With shipping it was about 17. No one has the disks for it and it is hitting the trash unopened and unused.

DO NOT BUY THE 3D SANDER. REPLACEMANT DISCS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Good sander for fine work but with no more sanding dics it's useless.

disk head connections

JAN
15
2009
I think that the floating heads is the greatest idea for my work on gourds. The biggest problem with the sander is the sanding disk heads fall off when sanding. It is very aggravating when you have to stop turn off the machine and replace the head before starting again.

Purchased sander with excitement, sounded like just what we were wanting. We haven't been able to use it because we can't find any replacement discs. Still hand sanding until I decide if it is worth making our own discs!!!

Poorly Made

DEC
8
2007
While useful for small projects, this tool is poorly made. I have owned mine for less than a year and it simply quit working. I used it approximately 2-3 times per week, hardly making significant demands on it. Frankly, it is not worth the price. It might be OK for $9.95 but that is about all I would offer for it. Disks are overpriced and often hard to find or out of stock as well. This item has followed the general downawrd tend in quality of Craftsman portable power tools. Stay away from it.

Don't bother

This sander failed after 10 minutes of use. Total piece of junk! I tried to take it back to my local store and got nothing but a hassle. I even have a service agreement and was told by Corporate office that I had to drive 40 miles to return it. All this for a $10.00 sander!!! I will never buy from Sears again and I have $1000's of dollars in Craftsman tools. Save yourself some hassles, shop elsewhere

Jury is out on this

JUN

I do a lot of small projects and scroll-sawing. It works as intended for light-duty use and fond that it makes a nice lightweight sander. However it is cheaply made and would not be willing to pay full price for it. It is a surprising sander as to how well it sands when it wants to work.

Where's the backing pads?

The backing pads were junk. I bought another sander so I could have the pads to finish a project...they broke too. Great idea, crummy construction.

I carve wooden spoons as hobby and this sander works great. I had the sander for years but could never find a use for it. I normally made furniture and just didn't need it. After retiring, the wife and I started working as volunteers at a lighthouse and had plenty of time on our hands so I took up carving spoons. The sander is great for sanding the bowl of the spoon, especially if you remove two of the sanding disks. The problem that I encountered was that you don't want to drop the sander; your first time will be your last. Make sure that if dropped, it doesn't have far to go. The little speed... review »

Using the 3d sander for ship modelling

JUN

2007
the 3d sander is a very usefull tool for sand hulls of ship when you are modelling a plank on frame/bulkhead hull or a solid one (in this case we are speaking for finishing stage), the tool works fine in over 90% of hull surface including bow and stern, is necesary 2 o 3 passes beginning with coarse pads and finishing with fine or extra fine ones. the surface you will obtain is incredible smooth, never seen before, I've checked it in various wood types, it is hard to beleive. Highly recommended you will save lot of time and you will gain a proffesional finishing without doubts, be prepaired for... review »

buy this only when on sale, then it is worth it....don't drop it very often it will stop working,,insides not well built,,,,the plastic sanding discs that the sandpaper attach too, break off too easily,,they are made to come off but the little plastic pieces that keep it attached break off very easy.. i use this item quite a bit but am very careful on handleing it have bought a second one because the first one broke when it got dropped more than once, but for finish work in small areas it works fine, as i said you get what you pay for. it is not worth over 20.00 so get it when it is on sale, it... review »
