Purchase Liquid Sander (separately) instead of Hand Sanding Cabinets

INCREDIBLE!! Highly recommend! My home is < 10 years old but I wanted to do some remodeling. Replacing cabinets was going to cost me over $6,000. I read up on resurfacing the color of the cabinet. Found this kit and didnot see a bad review on the item so I gave it a try. Paint went on smoothly. WOULD RECOMMEND PURCHASING A LIQUID SANDER ($7). I first began hand sanding my cabinets but it was dusty. So happy I purchased the liquid version. It took me a total of 3 evenings from taking off the hardware and cabinets to replacing them. I was satisfied with this kit (< $80). I also purchased the countertop paint from this company (see my other review). I would recommend this paint to anyone. Super easy and quick way to change up the look of a kitchen or bathroom. Side note: I was going to purchase stainless appliances but being honest I really am liking the white on white for now. I will definitely be purchasing another kit for my 3 bathrooms. I would recommend two coats for sure. After completing my entire kitchen I did have 3/4 of a can of paint leftover. Thanks NUVO!

I bought this sanding sheet pack for use with my Bosch orbital sander model 1294VSK.  The red (brown, actually) sheets are for sanding wood, not metal.  The hook and loop backing (a.k.a. Velcro) makes them convenient to replace.  I rate the sheets as four stars because the glue holding the grit on the sheet is only moderately durable.  You may need many sheets to be able to sand large areas.
My product was made in Italy.

Just purchased this product recently and I am glad I did. The sander comes in a nice plastic case. Very easy to install the discs on the sander. And love the 5-speed settings on the sander. Makes it extremely easy to control the speed of sanding based on the surface its being used on. And the best part is the extra handle which is also removable. Makes it extremely comfortable to sand any item as the handle makes it very easy to hold the sander and manoeuvre it around. I do not know of any other brand....Milwaukee, Dewalt, Bosch or other that has this extra handle. The vibrations are not too visible and noise level is not too high either. I would recommend this product to everyone. High quality product to say the least.....Makita does not disappoint, and you will not be disappointed.

I bought some Dewalt cordless tools and they are great. I use them for construction, but while framing a house, I realized basically all the lumber cuts could be done with a good crosscut saw, and if you're using this on drywall you're sorta crazy, drywall dust ain't good & there's a handtool for that. Sizing out flooring with a traditional panel saw would be tough, but I think a home built like a handcrafted cabinet is really the sort of craftsmanship a home deserves.

I don't understand why you don't sell the Hook & Loop Pads for this sander? It performs well and is highly recommended.

When I recieved this sander the box was opened, busted, and taped back together with scotch tape. I took the sander out and it was clearly used. As far as I can tell by the ad, nothing about it said it wouldn't be new. That was a pretty big bummer and why I took off two stars. As far as the sander goes, it would get five stars in my opinion. Its a great little sander for everyday jobs.

I ordered this unit despite the reviews which commented the sanding surface was not completely flat. Sure enough, when I first pulled this sander out of the box I noticed the surface was concave. I give it a try and only got irritated I made the purchase.  After boiling the sander in water and reforming the sanding surface, I got it to a point where it was usable.  If I had to do it all again, I would have bought a different sander.  The second most frustrating part was I pulled it out of the box a month after the return window--if you buy this unit, inspect it immediately and don't make the mistake I did.

I bought these to use on my cabinet table saw for sanding on and highly recommend doing this with Fox products.

I just picked one up at Home Depot without a case for 50 dollars; but that's okay because my Makita orbital sander case had a spot for it. The sander is awesome, just used it and took it down faster than any other palm sander I've used. It replaced a old Black and Decker  that I've had since before I was a Makita-holic. Best brand of tools on the market.

The product works very well and I will not repeat what others have said.  Please be aware that for the dust to be vacuumed, there must be holes in the media used for sanding.  Hence, the tool is designed to be used with Hyde's proprietary sanding screens.  These screens cost $40 for 25 replacement screens.  You will need to replace one after sanding for 1 hour or less.  You can use traditional sandpaper but you must punch holes all around and unfortunately this work around is not as effective as using the screens.  So the cheap tool price is the easy entry point to get you to buy screens (think ink jet printers and ink cartridges).  So although the tool works great, you get roped into buying expensive sanding material.

I used the sander to re-finish my dining table. It was easy to use and gave a good finish. I started with 80 grit paper to remove the varnish and worked up to 240 grit for the final pass.

I bought this sander @ Lowe's since I needed it imediatly to replase a 40 year Wen sander whos motor finally burned up in the middle of a prodject. The first belt shreded 3/4" off the inside edge & bound up inside. I cleaned up the mess & replaced the belt. I then rered the manual & verified that it was being ooperated properly & was tracking corectly. I made sure I was keeping it level on the work piece, & only the weight of the sander doing the work. The second belt shreded in about 2 min. of sanding. I then gave up & returned it to Lowe's for a refund. I didn't want another Skill, & they didn't have another brand in stock, so my prodject is on hold while I shop Amazon for a replacment.

Usually when you buy these products you expect a couple things.  The right parts and the only tool you're going to need is a screw driver to assemble.  I ended up with the incorrect screws for the job. Luckily I had some extra on hand so that was no big deal.  What really irritated me was the lack of predrilled holes in the drawer.  So if you have a drill, drill bits, and extra screws you should be fine.

I had a lot of sanding to do to remove old varnish from some moldings I was re-using.  This sander made quick work of removing the varnish using the 60 grit pads, and it doesn't vibrate so bad to make your hands go numb like some other machines, excellent value.  The variable speed is a bonus I didn't even know of until I saw the dial on the front of the sander.
