    Product Review
    The Powermatic 1791291K Model 3A belt/disc sander is a versatile woodworking--and metalworking--machine. The belt unit features tool-free belt positioning, with locks at 0, 45 and 90 degrees. The patented articulating table angles downward from 0-45 degrees and can handle both horizontal and vertical work. It is also effective for compound angle sanding and edge work and doubles as a backstop fence for backstop work. On the disc sanding side, a precision-balanced 12-inch disc and large tilt-table surface provide accurate angle and pattern work. The table angles from +15 to -45 degrees with a miter slot. Both tables are made from precision-ground cast iron and can accommodate a full range of angles. The belt/disc sander provides fast and accurate belt tension and tracking controls. The cast iron platen and solid crowned aluminum drums resist heat build-up and help ensure steady belt tracking, while a removable top guard allows for contour sanding. The belt/disc sander itself is constructed of rugged cast iron, too. This helps reduce vibration and makes the machine well-suited for both metal and woodworking use. A single, internally connected, four-inch dust collection port keeps everything clean and makes it easy to hook the belt/disc sander into your shop's dust collection system.--Carl Thress

    Customer Reviews & Comments
    The Powermatic 31A Belt/Disc sander makes an impressive addition to any shop that already has a working machine. The unit is sturdy and good looking. The two heavy tables are esily adjusted and the T-miter slots were a nice surprise. It even comes with a small gauge, belt and disc. The belt moves smooth and easily when propelled by hand, and the disc appears true. The belt tension mechanism is quick and accessible. Despite being in the shop for over a month, an assessment of finishing quality has yet to be made. Upon initial start-up, noise and vibration were excessive. The motor overheated, tripping 20 amp breaker. Confirmed the motor was factory wired for 115V. The motor subsequently fails to wind up and cannot drive the belt/disc shaft. Powermatic was contacted about the defective motor. The Customer Service Representative was polite, but advised that it was Amazon.com's problem, warranted or not. Amazon.com has made a good faith effort to provide a functioning tool. But a new motor was incompatible with the tool power drive and new drive component, likewise, incompatible with said motor. Offered to return everything. Still waiting for instruction on return, repairing original motor or obtaining correct drive components for new motor that will not void warantee. The good folk at Amazon.com appear ill equipped to deal with Powermatic, and Powermatic doesn't want to deal with end user. Summary: Nice looking tool, doesn't work. Buy a Delta from different source.
