Porter-Cable 362VS 4" x 24" Variable Speed Sander

The new Whisper Series belt sanders are over 34-percent quieter due to a Poly-V belt and gear drive system. A 12 amp variable speed motor drives the belt between 1,000 and 1,500 surface feet per minute. Long-running operation is made easier by a locking trigger and a separate speed dial conveniently located within thumb's reach. The fingertip belt-tracking knob and quick-release belt change lever make changing and adjusting belts a breeze. The beefy motor is directly over the sanding surface for better balance and feel. Large, flat surfaces are easy to sand evenly due to the wide four-inch platen and the weight of this sander. The large dust bag swivels 360 degrees to stay out of the way while collecting dust from the work surface. Designed for flush sanding up to vertical surfaces. The sander comes included with a 100 grit belt, dust bag assembly no. 39334, and operator's manual.

Bosch 1274DVS 3" x 21" Dustless Variable Speed Belt Sander

Well-executed design combined with solid, reliable performance make this Bosch belt sander a tool with noticeable performance advantages. The Bosch features a magnesium-and-plastic housing that's lightweight yet durable. The tool is nicely balanced, comfortable, and easy to operate--important features in a tool that's often used for long periods of time for removing large amounts of stock. The Bosch comes with a cast-aluminum platen--so there's none of the warping that affects stamped-steel platens--and it sands perfectly flat right out of the box. Like many of the sanders in this class, the motor on the 1274 is aligned with the belt edge to allow flush sanding into corners. The tool's only drawback is that visibility is limited when sanding into tight corners, but that's a small minus when weighed against all the pluses. The belt-changing system works well--we didn't suffer any spring pinches--and the tracking adjustment tracks the new belt quickly and keeps it in place. There's a variable-speed dial built right into the trigger switch, which makes adjusting the belt speed fast and convenient. Wood magazine tested 10 3-by-21-inch sanders and liked the 1274DVS best. We agree that it's a great tool. --Mark McDonald

The Bosch 1276DVS offers solid, reliable performance plus a few nifty extras, making it an easy-to-use sander that's serious about removing material. Bosch designers listened to customer feedback and developed a front handle that adjusts. Deep detents mean the handle snaps securely into place, giving it a burly feel and stability in any of the six positions. That, combined with nice balance and weight, minimizes user fatigue. Like many of the sanders in this class, the motor is aligned with the belt edge to make flush sanding possible; however, as with other Bosch belt sanders, visibility is somewhat limited once the sander gets into corners.
