Certified Refurbished Ryobi belt sander 3×18 Review

Whom is this product for?

This kind of tool is great to work with large furniture and wood pieces. There are many models available of the belt sander which offers you to set the tool like a sanding platform. There you will be able to take care of the rusty metal items and get the metal items to get back to work. While you might not be able to set this tool upside down to set it as a sanding platform but certainly you will be able to use this tool directly on a wood piece or wooden furniture to give them a new look.

Ryobi Belt Sander ZRBE319 Explained

When you see a product refurbished, you will definitely get confused, and most of the time you not might feel to go for it. In this case, no one will fill like this as the product is certified by the manufacturer and backed by a 1-year warranty which is not a common scene for most of the refurbished items. You should be now a bit relaxed about this tool as the manufacturer is giving you the backup. What about its performance? Though it is a refurbished tool, you can see it’s a certified one. The manufacturer claims it to be working as the new ones.

What do other users think about this tool? In many cases, users have found it really helpful as it is a budget-friendly and efficient tool. It runs at a speed of 820 FPM at no load which is more than enough to work with a belt sander. You just need to gently hold it on top of the surface for sanding. Don’t put any extra pressure it will slow down the machine a bit.  You might think what if the belt gets clogged with the debris from the surfaces. Use a belt sander cleaner to make the belt run like new every time. Is it a wide belt sander? No, not enough. It’s just about 3x18 in size, which is pretty cool for the DIY users.
