What Customers Say About Grizzly G1531 6" x 80" Edge Sander:

Getting the belts on/off and tracking properly is easy.The main shortcoming is the support of the table and angling of the table. The mounting of the table is in slots so you can move it, but this is a pain.Another shortcoming is that the dust shroud on the end extends out in front of the belt which gets in the way of long stock. Plan on having to alter the shroud. For angling the table, the pivot point is not inline with the table which means it gets closer or further from the belt as you change the angle.
The machine itself is invaluable. But if you intend to often be tilting the table I recommend either looking elsewhere or plan on building your own support mechanism. In this case it doesn't stop the machine from being usable for its primary purpose. And edge sander is one of the few that live up to the promise of saving you tremendous amounts of time while delivering better quality. If you have the room for one I highly recommend getting one, and this is the least expensive option.I'm very happy with the operation of the unit in it's normal function, sanding at 90 degrees. The locking on the support arm requires a wrench, but you can replace that bolt with a 5 star knob with a 1" stud which makes things easier. It's not easy to remove it, four screws - two of which are hard to get to.
The table itself is excellent. Let me start by saying that there are no shortage of different types of sanders on the market. While the Grizzly design promises to be easier to move up and down than other options with it's wheel adjustment, it just doesn't lock rigidly in place, especially if you raise it up. My experience is that Grizzly likes to make the specs of their machines look great on paper, but often at the expense of the usability of the machine.
