WEN 6307 Variable Speed Detailing File Sander with 1/2-by-18" Belt

Great price and the functionality is better than expected. The band tension and release is very tight in a good way. I feel confident that the surface is aligned when I apply force at any angle. The angle adjustment is adequate and the motor speed control is surprisingly sensitive. This is great for general purpose. I don't think it is built for someone who is using it everyday in a shop, but good quality for DIY.

Works great no complaints needed it for the 18 inch belt to reach a tight spot and man it surprised me 100% its worth the money all day. Pretty smooth with high quality power on the motor so you can turn it dow or crank up the speed. Ps order more belts as ir comes with 3 but you can not beat the price

I am restoring four sets of 6’-tall French windows which have 5/8” double-rabbet grooves where the doors overlap when they close. After spending a few frustrating days trying to sand the rabbets clean — first, using a flat-edged palm sander and then sanding by hand when the palm sander kept jumping out of the groove — I went searching on Amazon for something better.I was thrilled to discovered this Wen 1/2” finger sander. Whoever invented this gets a gold star in my book. The sander feels solidly built and works incredibly well for sanding tight spaces; it is the perfect size for my 5/8” rabbets and has already saved me hours of tedious hand-sanding. The variable speed works well, but I tend to use it on the lower speeds to maintain better control and minimize gouges. The adjustable angle has also come in very handy, allowing me to sand the tops and bottoms of the doors without having to take them all off the hinges (and risking they wouldn’t go back on correctly).The sander comes with only 3 sanding belts, so you will definitely want to order extra belts if you buy this sander.As for the price, you can’t beat this for $39.60. Other finger sanders cost many times that price. Presumably, they are built for much more frequent and/or heavy-duty use, but for this weekend DIY warrior — who happened to need this exact size belt sander for one specific project — this sander fits the bill perfectly. It might come in handy in the future for other projects, but even if it doesn’t, I’ve already recouped the cost in saved time and aggravation.The only reason I am deducted 1 star on this 5-star tool is that it does not come with any means of acceptable storage. The tool and the few accessories arrived crammed into a cardboard box which bends the end of the cord end so much that using the box for long-term storage could eventually damage the cord. The seller should either make the box a few inches longer to accommodate the cord correctly or include at least a cheap storage/carrying ba, even if that raised the price a few dollars. I had an unused tool-storage bag in the garage, but even that bag is not long enough to accommodate this very long sander comfortably with the cord; the end sticks out, but at least that seems better than tightly bending the cord where it meets the tool every time I store it.5 stars for the sander, 3 stars for the lack of an acceptable storage box = 4 stars.

It's awesome. Works better than expected. The variable speed is great to gave. Takes a while to get good with it. The key is don't use too much pressure.

Ready to go out of the box. Comes with a few belts. Variable speed. Works as expected.

The WEN 6307 Variable Speed Detailing File Sander is a fantastic tool for precision sanding in hard-to-reach areas. The variable speed control allows for great versatility, making it easy to adjust for different materials and projects. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and the belt changes are quick and simple.The narrow sanding belt is perfect for detailed work, and it removes material efficiently without being overly aggressive. It’s been a game-changer for my woodworking and metalworking projects. For the price, the performance and build quality are outstanding. Highly recommend

Really nice tool. I was not aware that this has a variable speed control so I was pleasantly surprised. It made a rather difficult task of smoothing out the surface of a fiberglass front spoiler very easy. There are some very tight corners that would have taken many hours and some serious elbow grease to finish.

I never thought about owning one of these, but after purchasing, I found multiple uses for it. I own a few Wen tools now, and they seems to be of decent quality. I've used this finger sander on metal and wood and it's worked perfectly. Being able to adjust the angle helps get into areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. There is a place to attach vacuum, but have not used. Very happy with this sander.
