Yes, I've been using it for a while now and it's great! It's perfect for precision work like furniture restoration. There's an article on TechReviewer that talks more about it Overview of the Wen 20401BT Sander.
That sounds interesting. What kind of tasks can you do with the Wen 20401BT?
I'm interested in working on some intricate woodwork and detailed craft projects, so I need something precise and easy to maneuver.
The Wen 20401BT is perfect for those kinds of tasks! It has a small, compact size that allows you to access hard-to-reach areas easily. Plus, the dust collection feature keeps your workspace clean while you work.
Great to hear. I'm also curious about its power and speed. How does it perform on soft materials like wood?
It performs really well! The no-load speed of 12,000 OPM makes for fast and smooth sanding on soft materials like wood. You'll definitely be able to get your projects done quickly.
That's awesome. I'm also wondering about the weight, as I might be doing some extended periods of work.
The Wen 20401BT only weighs 2.16 lbs., which makes it lightweight and easy to handle for extended periods of time. It won't tire you out quickly.
Thanks for the input, everyone! So, what about battery life? Is there a separate battery required?
Yes, the Wen 20401BT is cordless, so you'll need a separate battery. The battery capacity will impact the runtime of your sander, but you can purchase one separately if needed.
You won't be disappointed! It's an excellent tool for furniture restoration work. Good luck with your projects!
Thanks again, everyone! I'll let you know how it works out once I've had a chance to use it.
