Proxxon 38526 BBS Belt Sander Review

Having trouble seeking out a light weight, compact, well balanced belt sander that won’t break the bank? Well, take a look at the reasonably priced Proxxon 38526 BBS belt sander. This little beauty matches up to most mid level belt sanders, but it certainly doesn’t come with the extra pounds.

The Proxxon 38526 BBS belt sander is built with a tough fiberglass reinforced polyamide housing and its two tone green paint job may remind the do-it-yourselfer of a John Deere tractor. The dependable Proxxon 38526 BBS runs on 0.2 hp and sands at 525 sfpm. It is extremely well balanced with the sanding belt positioned flush on the left side of the machine, which allows you to sand right down to the corners. A well designed roller adjustment system keeps the belt from running off the side, and a spring clamping system allows for quick and easy replacement of worn belts without the need to reach for your toolbox. Such calculated efficiency is worth at least a test drive at the local hardware store.

The compact size of the Proxxon 38526 BBS doesn’t necessarily mean it will be compact in price. A brand new Proxxon 38526 BBS belt sander runs for around $155, but look around because there are deals to be made. If you would rather see what’s available in something used, you will still pay somewhere within the range of $75 to $100.
