I have this sander. It’s not going to last in a commercial wood shop for sure, but for around the home projects it’s perfect. When I first used it, it left a lot of pigtails on my workpiece, but that was a technique issue, not the sander. Now that I’m looking to start a woodworking business, I will be looking for a new sander, but this one has worked just fine for the two years I’ve had it.

Black and Decker in the 80s were pretty hardcore. Everyone ordered them from Sears and they were pretty cheap and certainly not the best performing tools, but I'll be damned if they didn't last forever. Newer BnD stuff is hit or miss. Almost all of their tools nowadays are made for the most basic consumer doing the least commanding jobs around the house.

I think this is a sander that non professionals (or homeowners, housewifes etc ..) buy because they will use it a couple times on a project and they recognize the name from their coffee pot or kitchen appliance since it is the same brand. It is a great little sander and probably has some of the same DeWalt DNA. If it works, it works.

Exactly it for me. I just bought this sander and at this point Im just using it before I repaint all my doors. I see black and decker as a discount brand that you can at least trust not to be complete crap like all the no name brands on Amazon. If I thought I would be using it all the time I would go with something like a Milwaukee, but I just dont see the point in dropping $100 for something I realistically will use only a couple times a year at most.

I think it is a combination of price along with name brand. You can get some cheap sander you have never heard of or spend a few dollars more for a Black & Decker (a name many are familiar with). When most people think of Wen, they think bargain brand, so going with a name they trust at a really low price is just the right combination.

Yeah definitely. If you have 5 sanders around $28-$35 its minimal difference so you go for the well known brand. except those who just want the cheapest they can find. And true, Wen are building a good reputation but a lot of people will just see them as a chinese brand that may not be good quality

I already had the DeWalt random orbital sander when I saw this video. I enjoy restoring cast iron woodworking machine tabletops, but wanted to keep my DeWalt for sanding wood only. Bought the Black & Decker model BDERO600 for around $40 for dedicated restoration purposes. Although it is powerful enough, the fatigue from vibrations is real. In my honest opinion the B&D sander is good for a few minutes of usage. After that you’ll feel that unpleasant feeling of a “shaky” hand as you described in the video. If I have to buy it again, I’ll just skip the B&D and get the DeWalt.

Lol! I actually purchased this exact sander to sand the planks on a deck I built on the back of my house. I know it sounds silly, but I got it because it was cheap, and I didn't want to destroy my Festool sander. In all honesty, it worked like a champ. I didn't care about dust because it was all outside. I also didn't notice any hard fatigue, but I was wearing a work glove, so.....could it be used for fine sanding on something you want a perfect finish on......maybe....but it's a big maybe. 😊

Based on experience, I'd recommend a plugin/corded DA sander as opposed to the typical battery powered unless you're already on a particular battery platformer looking to be. Corded allows a much longer runtime so can take your time and be careful with your project. Also, I a quick sanding tip, I like to sand all of the pieces of a project before assembly. Makes it way easier, almost always.

If only you could get something similar with a low profile. There are a few copies out now of the mirkas with a paddle switch. These don't have a speed adjustment dependant on how far you push the paddle down but that doesn't really matter. The best thing about the mirkas (for me) was that my wrist wasn't 6 inches above the piece I was sanding and all those vibrations were moving through a larger sander body towards it. Lower and wider would be awesome.

You cannot judge the dust collection if you keep on sanding after the collection bag is filled. There's no place else for the dust to go than onto the work and into the air.

Because it's cheap and many new woodworkers buy the cheapest to get going. Black and Decker has the title of the go to budget brand because it's in all the box and department stores. My very first tool purchase was a B & D jig saw, purchased used in 1993 from a college student for $10. I still have it and use it on occasion when I break a blade on my newer Craftsman Pro jig saw. Still works well after 30 years.

Howdy Mr. 731....a.k.a. Mr. Buttons (I'm gonna start getting everyone to call you Mr. Buttons. 😅). (Inside joke people 😊). I LOVED this video. Give your editor a fist bump (or bonus 😮) cause I loved it when you held up your hands and there was a pic of a sander. Excellent!!! Moving on; All that dust collected in the bag. Though I don't own a B & D sander, my Dewalt has a bag and on my initial FIRST rough sanding, I use the bag instead of the vacuum attachment for the specific purpose of being able to collect the dust from THAT board/boards. I then empty that bag into a zip lock sandwich bag and label it...Pine, Walnut, Cedar etc etc and I date it. I have found that "when needed", that particular dust from THAT board comes in handy when, for instance I want to fill in Brad nail holes, perhaps minor cracks. I'll add some glue (just a little bit) and then sprinkle some dust onto that glue, then sacrifice some 100 or 120 grit WHILE the glue is still wet and sand/rub that into the nail holes or small cracks/scratches. It's a perfect match every single time. As for vibration. Honestly Mr. Buttons (😊)....I have no idea what you and others are talking about. I have NEVER noticed any vibration numbness. Back when I actually worked in cabinet shops n such, we used sanders that hooked up to an air hose. No vibration numbness. I've used Dewalt sanders forever and a day plus 2 more days, never had numbness. I dunno Sir....Perhaps I'm just used to it? Never seems to bother me and certainly not a bother enough to where I'd dump $300+ on a sander just for that purpose. All in all though...I'd say it comes down to "method" of sanding. The variable speed TOTALLY makes a difference depending on which stange of sanding you are doing. Lower speed for rough sanding, higher speed AND a lighter pressure for finer sanding. Easy. As for any sandpaper that comes with a tool.....well, it's kinda like that plastic miter gauge that comes with a tool. It's crap. Goes straight in the garbage. I like Diablo sandpaper for my rough sanding, then I switch to cubitron for finer sanding. Rough sanding with cubitron disks just wastes money, clogs up way too much and I've used cheap cubitron and VERY expensive, same result. Anyways Sir Buttons 😅, Loved the video. Looking forward to the next one.

I have this sander. It was something that I got when I did not need a sander for much, basically for small home projects, things that some might use a block plane for. e.g. this door won't open in the rain. Small amount of sanding and a new coat of paint and the door opens again. This was before I got into woodworking and needed a better sander, which I have now. I would disagree with the point of it being in the middle priced, I think it has more to do with familiarity with B&D and the price compared to DeWalt. Where Powerstroke probably makes an okay sander for the same types of jobs, but the B&D is so close in price to it I would go for the one I am familiar with for a few dollars more. It is almost like when you buy a TV, do you go for the Visio or the off branded TV (it depends on your opinion of Sony). Yes one is slightly more expensive, but the other one is a named brand.

Would you be willing to do a review on Harbor Freight Bauer orbital sander? This was a sander gifted to me for Father's day last year. I've been using it since then and been having great results.

Can you discuss variable speed ROS. What conditions or advantages of slower speeds vs. max speed. Thanks! Big word for rednecks? Big word for us mid-west types also.

Isn't black and decker and also Dewalt made by same company? I think I heard that somewhere before.. like Dewalt is made by black and decker.. not sure but..

But do you recommend a dust mask or a dust collection system? I think that would be very important.😂

I have the Ryobi 18v and it works well but it is so uncomfortable to use.

Can you use a festool dust collector vacuum with this?

I really like your new video clips of the other units you are talking about, really cool. I generally watch every video you produce, fantastic job and great information for me.

It lasted me about 20 benches and 28 out door chairs before it burned up.

I’d say it’s definitely not a woodworkers tool, but a home DIYer would enjoy it. Also that subscribe button edit you did was sick!

I actually just bought this sander. I don’t think I’ll sand for 20 minutes at a time. But so far I’ve been happy with it in my first build of a patio table. The dust bag is garbage. But the sander itself seems fine to me as a beginner.

Off topic, I just received a notification that my plans order was cancelled, are your plans no longer available?
