I have two big complaints about the Grizzly G0512 Edge Sander. First, the plywood wrap-around table is very prone to warp. Mine was so warped when it arrived that I had to fabricate a replacement. Even more disappointing is the poor quality of the sanding belt. The belt has a crude butt joint that bulges and makes smooth sanding impossible. I called Grizzly tech support but they didn't seem to care that their machine arrived virtually unusable. Not wanting to pay the 15% restocking fee, I searched the net in vain for a higher quality belt with the right dimensions. The only solution was to have a belt custom made for me. The new belt works well, but I don't plan on ever buying another Grizzly tool for my shop.
