Customer Reviews for VEVOR Belt Grinder Sander, 72 x 2-Inch Variable Speed Belt Polisher with VFD, 1500W 2HP Polishing Grinding Machine with 3 Grinding Moulds & 3PCS Sanding Belts for Metalworking, Knife Making

Entspricht fast gänzlich den Erwartungen, mit einer Einschränkung : bei Arbeit mit Umlenkrolle (siehe Abb.) läuft das Schleifband tw. aus der Richtung und muss kontinuierlich korrigiert werden :-( Sonst gute Qualität !

Took a little while to use the controller but it works fine, the controller should come with instructions I had to find it online, everything works well

I am a mobile knife sharpener, I have watched and listened to others talk of this grinder. I had very high expectations, and it met all of them, almost. It is a great sharpener, I like the variable speed, torque, and the adjustability. It is quiet and consistant. With an aftermarket guide system, for angles, it is probably the best machine to start a sharpening business. My only slight against the system is the lack of instruction for the VFD. Oh it is simple enough that changing speed and reverse directions. But there is no explanation as to how it operates, no instruction at all. This is a failing to your customers. I would ask that you Find someone to write a good set of instructions as to how to change speed, set limits, reverse direction. Then have a competent AI translate it in to the languages of your customers. Thank you for your building a very competent machine. Please for you customer tell us how to use the vfd from the first day we own one. Thanks. Keith

Just in light duty use but so far seems good, and is a nice little unit.

Ich habe diesen Bandschleifer seit eine Woche. Zuvor habe auf YouTube die Präsentation dieser Schleifer gesehen und kann nur bestätigen dass es Das Geld wert ist.

This is an incredible piece of equipment for the money. While it's not a 2x72 belt grinder, it's also 3-5 times less expensive and takes up considerably less room. For the the home hobbyist, or maybe beginning knifemaker or fabricator that doesn't want to invest the time or space required for a 2x72, there aren't a lot of options. This is replacing my old Delta 1x30 grinder, so I already have a collection of belts. However, you really can't compare the Vevor 1x30 to the Delta, or that old style of belt grinders. The Vevor seems to be built from the ground-up as a mini 2x72 grinder. Tilting head to be able to grind horizontal, quick change belts, and a VFD for truly adjustable speed from very low, to incredibly fast. The DC motor has plenty of torque and it won't stall like the old style 1x30 grinders like my Delta. So far I've ground some aluminum, steel, and some small wood projects and this has worked without issue. This needs to be mounted or secured for use. I mounted it to a 3/4" plywood base, and drilled a couple of holes to hold the small table and the large contact wheel, but I may change that design and build a small drawer under the base; A large piece of MDF might be better as it has a bit more weight. Vevor includes a few nice touches, such as the toolless lever to adjust the tool post, and another on the platen plate. However, everything else is a hex-bolt, so you need to keep hex wrench handy. I chose to add wing-head bolts instead, they were not that expensive, and are relatively esey to tighten by hand as-needed (see photos). The other thing I did was add a thin strip of bike rim tape to the drive wheel. It's completely flat, no crown at all; and while my unit tracked fine, I think it works just a bit better with the added tape on the drivewheel. I tried using the belt guard on the top, but it made belt changes rather difficult; so I've removed it and likely will just leave it off. I only have a few hours on this so-far, but for my diy home-hobby workshop, it's a definite winner. Being able to store this on a shelf when not in use, and having all the power I need for small projects is easily worth the price for this belt grinder.

Awesome little grinder. It has the torque and power you need no doubt. I would have given it 5 stars but for the lack of working table on it and such a short stand, I'm giving it only 4. If your just getting into blade smithing, or just want a powerful little grinder that doesn't t take up much space, I do recommend it. It's worth every dollar spent.

As an entry level 2x72 grinder, this can not be beat. It is built well, and works as it should. The only reason it is not getting 5 stars, is sometimes it stalls when doing heavy grinding. If the pressure is too much the machine will shut down. The only other problem I had, was the weight. Unboxing it and carrying it to my grinder station was a harrowing task. Make sure you have a friend to help you. If you are looking for a price friendly start this is the machine for you for sure.

I bought this from Vevor It does a good job. I bought a secound one when the first one quit after 2 years of heavy use grinding knives and general shop use. This is why it quit. It needs dust proof connectors between the motor and controler. Only Vevor has this model with these open connectors. It allows metal dust inside the controler, which shorts it out. Locate the controler away from the sander. Put controler in a clear plastic bag. Tape or chalk bag around cables. You can remove speed knob with allen wrench. Make a small hole in bag to put shaft through. Reinstall knob. In Vevors other belt sanders the instructions tell you to protect the controler from metal dust. Take cover off of cable lead to motor. Seal it with RTV. Reinstall cover. This keeps metal dust out of motor. All other sellers of this sander use connectors that are dust proof. I don't know why Vevor changed to this type of connector. Buy the 3 year extended watrentee. Vevor does NOT sell parts.

This is a good little belt sander if you’re prepared to do few simple modifications to it. A lot of the screws holding it together are simply just to short. If you replace those with the appropriate length ones you’ll have a reliable machine. I purchased a pack of longer screws and cut them to the required size.
