When it comes to quality power tools for both professionals and do-it-yourselfers, the Dewalt DW431 is a name that can be trusted. Whether it is a professional job or a home improvement task, the Dewalt DW431 3 X 21” heavy duty belt sander is a powerful machine that can stand up to most any sanding project.

Constructed with a muscular 8 amp motor, the Dewalt DW431 spins at 1400 sfpm. This machine very aggressively removes stock in any number of applications, and a three wheel design offers quite a low center of gravity for balance. Weighing a solid 12 pounds, the Dewalt DW 431 is a substantially sturdy two handed piece of equipment, and the front grip adjusts to two positions for maximum comfort while a rubber coat on the grips reduces vibration. Perhaps one of the most notable features is the innovative dust collection system, which is far more efficient than most dust bags. While it has the ability to stand up to nearly any job, it will also keep your work space nice and tidy. Overall, this belt sander ought not to let you down.

The Dewalt DW431 3 X 21” heavy duty belt sander may be listed for a few dollars over $200, but be sure to shop around because you can probably find a brand new DW431 for around $135. If you would prefer to find something used and well tested, then expect to pay in the neighborhood of $125 to $175.
