Can I Use This Sander on Table Saw or Belt Sander?

I'm thinking of getting a Wen 20401BT sander for some woodworking projects. Has anyone used one before? Any advice would be helpful.

Hi @mindofanmc! I've been using the Wen 20401BT for a few months now and it's really great for detailed work. The 12,000 OPM makes it super efficient. Here's an overview of the sander: Overview of the Wen 20401BT Sander.

Thanks for the info, @baboon29. That's good to know. I'm curious if anyone has used it on a table saw or belt sander?

@mindofanmc, I haven't personally tried using the Wen 20401BT with those tools, but I can tell you that it's designed for precision tasks and might not be suitable for a table saw or belt sander. It's more for intricate woodwork or detailed craft projects.

@mindofanmc, I've used mine on both a table saw and a belt sander with decent results. The thing is, you have to be careful not to overload the sander when using it in conjunction with these tools. Just take it slow and make sure you're not putting too much stress on the motor.

Good to know, @egraider. Thanks for sharing your experience. I think I'll give it a try then. Any suggestions for maintaining the sander's performance?

@mindofanmc, to keep the Wen 20401BT in good shape, always ensure that you clean the sanding pad and dust collection system regularly. Also, avoid overloading the motor when using the sander with other tools like a table saw or belt sander.

@mindofanmc, another thing to remember is to keep an eye on the battery life if you're using it cordlessly. Having a spare fully charged battery can be helpful for those longer projects.

@mindofanmc, one last tip I'd like to share is to always use protective gear when working with wood dust. A mask and safety glasses will go a long way in preventing any health issues. Good luck with your woodworking projects!

I'll definitely follow the advice shared here. Have a great day, all!
