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

I picked up the VEVOR 30×1‑inch variable‑speed belt grinder hoping for an affordable machine with decent capability for knife making and general metalwork. While the core grinder can perform well, several design and quality‑control problems showed up quickly, and buyers should be aware of them. 1. Flat‑Grinding Jig Cannot Be Used in a True Vertical Position The product photos show the grinder running perfectly vertical when the flat‑grinding attachment is installed. In reality, the bar that the jig mounts to is too long, and it physically contacts the upper wheel assembly before the machine can rotate upright. Because of this, the belt ends up leaning forward instead of standing straight up. This isn’t a setup mistake — it’s a geometry issue. Anyone expecting a proper vertical platen for flat grinding will be disappointed unless they shorten or modify the bar. 2. Base Alignment Is Off The mounting base does not line up square with the rest of the machine. This misalignment makes the machine feel “twisted” compared to how it should sit. 3. Electrical Failure: VFD/Interface Stopped Sending Power to the Motor After only a few hours of normal use, the motor didn’t burn out — the interface/VFD stopped delivering power to it. I verified the outlet and incoming power, which are fine. The controller simply quit outputting voltage to the motor with no warning or overload indicator. This points to a failure in the wiring harness, internal connectors, or the VFD board itself. Early controller failure is a serious reliability concern for a machine advertised as a 550W variable‑speed grinder. Overall Impression The grinder has potential and performs well when it’s running, but the combination of: a flat‑grinding jig that cannot achieve the advertised vertical position, a base that doesn’t align with the frame, and a VFD/controller that stopped powering the motor after a few hours makes it hard to recommend without major caveats. The design concept is good, but the execution and quality control are inconsistent. Buyers should be prepared for possible defects, modifications, or returns. About the rating... I do think this has potential to be very good value, but if I can't turn it on, well, it is useless.

I recently purchased a 2nd 72" x 2" grinder from Vevor. The delivery was excellent, it showed up quickly and in very good condition. The first unit purchased was for my home knife making workshop. It has been a very good grinder. It initially had some out of round and vibration issues with the large wheel, but i contacted customer service and received a new wheel very quickly. It has been a great machine ever since. However, with the 2nd unit that i ordered for my place of business, the results have not been so good. Mechanically, the machine is great. Other than a few loose bolts from the factory, it is great. When i got it unpacked and assembled, i plugged the grinder in to a 115 volt receptacle, since it is a 115 volt machine. It would not work, it just kicked the breaker every time. I am an electrician, so i know a little about that type of stuff. I immediately called customer support and gave them the entire rundown on the issue i was having. They said they would address it promptly, but it has now been over two weeks and there has been no resolution to my issue. i have received a few emails from the support line and they keep saying how important it is to get my issue resolved, but becasue of the complexity, they don't have a resolution yet. I do understand it takes time to get things resolved, but i am sitting here with a nearly $1000.00 grinder that i can not use in the manner in which it was sold to me, as a 115 volt machine. typically, customer service has been great, but the lack of communication on this issue has me second guessing my purchase. Hopefully, they will get this issue resolved soon and i can report back good results.

Pessima levigatrice per quanto concerne il lavoro da coltellinaio, la barra per il supporto della ruota, arco e piano di rettifica e la barra per il supporto del piano inclinabile sono ingombranti e creano problemi di spazio e movimento durante il lavoro, soprattutto sulla parte sinistra, in più la faccia anteriore della rettifica piana ha uno strato di grafite che si consuma creando un piano ondulato e rovinando così, il piano di appoggio della lama da lavorare. Ho chiesto se fosse possibile acquistare il braccio di un'altra levigatrice (dello stesso tipo) ma mi hanno risposto che non vendono pezzi singolarmente e ciò significa che se si dovesse rompere un pezzo qualsiasi la posso prendere e gettare via, soldi davvero spesi male, mi sto mangiando le mani per aver gettato tempo e soldi così inutilmente. Non sò se vada bene per altri lavori ma per quanto riguarda il mio, la sconsiglio vivamente!!! sono profondamente deluso.....

Grinder itself is an awesome little piece,but resign yourself to the fact you'll just have to buy another unit if in fact you need parts or support. 3 separate times I've submitted warranty requests or support,even offering to BUY parts to replace things and they basically told me they can't help. Then offer what amounts to a 20% off coupon to have to go buy an entire unit. I guess for the price you can't go wrong, and the grinder itself is an awesome unit to enter into knife making especially.

Jamais reçu la commande, plus de 1 mois de perdu!! Une catastrophe leur service de livraison, personne ne vous contacte rien.

Won't stay centered called and they were willing to help but I couldn't send a video. It said my video was to large to send. And I haven't heard from them since.

This device says it will connect to 110/220v electricity. It does but there is a box to transfer between 110/220v then there is an European 250v plug that plugs into an inverter that converts it back to European power. So instead of a single motor set for either 110 or 220 volt, you have this collection of devices that converts it, which takes up space that is totally unnecessary.

I have been using this for a bit now and there are a few things that would help to make this a 5 star machine. First the table is so small that it’s pretty much useless. I made one that’s 10” by 4” and it works perfectly. Second the mount that holds the table holds it about an inch too high making it hard to use knife grinding jigs. If you make one an inch lower it works much better. Third the mounting holes and pins for the accessories are very smooth and even tightened down hard they tend to move and change angles. Roughing them up with sand paper helps. Overall the speed and torque are perfect. It’s quiet and easy to use. Just could be better.

Des produits avec un rapport qualité/prix très correct surtout pour les artisans en transition entre débutants et professionnels. Cependant, en cas de problèmes le SAV a pris un mois et demi pour m'envoyer un modulateur de rechange. Je pense continuer de me fournir chez Vevor mais je limiterais mes achats au matériel dépourvu d'électronique.

Bandschuurmachine voor onze zoon van 12 gekocht omdat deze helemaal verkocht is aan het smeden van messen. Op zichzelf een mooie machine echter één ding de machine kan niet aangesloten worden op netstroom in huis omdat de aardschakelaar eruit vliegt door de toerenregelaar. Navraag gedaan bij een elektromonteur en die bevestigde inderdaad dat het niet mogelijk is om een bandschuurmachine met een toerenregelaar aan te sluiten op het stroomnet behalve als je er een aparte groep voor laat installeren die dan alleen voor de machine is aangelegd. Het zou wenselijk zijn als er in de omschrijving stond vermeldt dat dit product niet geschikt is voor huishoudelijke netstroom.
