Love mine. Has a few quirks, but nothing that can't be worked around. Main one is keeping the photoeye clear of dust, that controls the oscillation. When it blocks, the belt will track off the rollers, and and cause an emergency stop.

I have had one for a few years, and I've been happy with it. It's a huge step up from a drum sander. My only knock on it is that I've had problems with belt tracking -- the belts on mine tend to go past where they should and they trip the shut-off. I've adjusted everything there is to adjust, and I've spent hours on the phone with customer support. I've managed to make it better, but still far from perfect. It's an annoyance. But it's still miles better than a drum sander.

Kelby- that sounds like the blocked eye problem. If it gets dusted over, it thinks that the dust is the belt, so it sends the belt the other way until it runs off the rollers. Bob's permanently mounted air blast on the eye is a good one, or in my case, I just open the door and blast it with an air wand every 5 or so passes. I have been thinking I'll clean the eye with some Novus No. 1, which is a plastic polish that repells dust. I do have a 2HP dust collector right beside the sander, so it is pulling huge air, more than what is reccomended, but the eye still dusts over. If you open the right side door, and look up in the top right corner, you will see the offending eye.
