Pros & Cons

Pros

Craftsman is a trusted brand. Very good price and was particularly surprised with the outstanding quality. The only thing is my palm gets sore when using it.

Now that sears is winding down, it's nice to get craftsman tools online. Has decent power, stays on track well.

The cmew213 is a great belt sander. It does a great job of sanding and has good power. Easy to use and change sanding belts.

First and third slats from the left are what the slats looked like before sanding. We sanded the deck, the rails, the columns, two huge old tables. Holds the sandpaper firmly.

This belt sander catches most of what you sand off. If you're painting or staining, you will still need to vacuum or sweep to get the finer dust off.

Price


Very good price and was particularly surprised with the outstanding quality.


This craftsman belt sander is a nice, medium priced sander, suited for occasional home use.


It is a good price and value for what you get.


Overall, for the price it's pretty solid and works well.

Packaging/appearance


Mine came in an open box with no paperwork and a 60grit belt installed.

Competitiveness


I would definitely recommend this tool over similar brands.


Price was extremely reasonable compared to other name brands.

    For a deck it runs at an angle and tears through certain sandpaper

    Exceptional sandpaper seemed to do better

    Really wanted a heavier machine with 4 x 24 belt like my old craftsman sander but could not find anything comparable

    That being said and knowing craftsman tools these days it come as no surprise that this craftsman belt sander is at best mediocre in the tool world
