Skil 7500 belt sander

Date Published: 2/26/07

The 7500 belt sander from Skil combines powerful performance with an ability to sand close to edges, making it a good choice for most do-it-yourself projects, including large surfaces such as decks and hardwood floors.

Its most impressive feature is how closely it can be positioned flush against walls or molding. Hand sanding corners is a thing of the past. This sander's ability to sand right up to vertical surfaces eliminates the time it would take to make an extra pass with a hand sanding pad.

The Skil 7500 belt sander also features an automatic belt-alignment system, which keeps the 3x18-inch belt centered and prevents it from slipping off. The 6-amp motor provides a good amount of juice, and the trigger can be locked-on for longer projects. The design is sleek and ergonomic, with a soft, comfortable handle. This unit comes with an easy-to-empty micro-filter dust canister, which helps keep the work area clean by collecting dust and debris. A vacuum adapter is also included. The Skil 7500 belt sander is covered by a 1-year warranty.


Pros: Price, flush-edge sanding
Cons: Small dust canister



Warranty
1 year
