2. Make sure that it’s not difficult to change the belts on your variable speed belt sander. When you get going on a job, you don’t want to be wrestling every time you have to put a new belt on. And if you pick one that’s's great is all other aspects but it a pain to change the belts, you’ll be cursing your call to choose that particular variable speed belt sander every single time. So take care you pick one you can change the sanding belts with just few flips of a switch.
3. Make sure that your variable speed belt sander is truly variable. Many belt sanders refer to themselves as variable speed, but they’re truly only multiple speed – meaning that you can change between different levels, but that’s it. You want a truly variable speed belt sander that has fluid speed that is simple for you to control. This will enable you to finely adjust the sanding speed to whatever level you want depending on your project.
4. Make sure that the variable speed belt sander you choose has a continuous use button. This could keep the sander in the ‘on’ position, which will enable you to keep sanding longer and avoid hand fatigue of consistently having to hold down the button or the trigger. A continuous use button also allows you to hold the sander however is most comfortable for you, which can sometimes be particularly handy in tight or clumsy spaces.
5. Ensure you stick to your budget when choosing a variable speed belt sander. There are a lot of great sanders out there on the market, and at many alternative prices. Don’t compromise on your requirements, but do not go over your position either. You may need to look around, but you’ll find the right sander at the right price if you do your homework.
