## Overview

The Shop Fox W1717 is a powerful 1/3 HP horizontal and vertical belt sander featuring a 3,450 RPM motor and a 4x36 inch sanding belt. Designed for precision and versatility, it offers quick belt changes, single-knob tracking control, and adjustable tables, all finished with durable powder-coated paint. Ideal for professionals seeking efficient, high-quality sanding on a variety of materials.

## Description

Taking advantage of the quick-change belt system and the single-knob belt tracking control, this horizontal/vertical belt sander makes it quick and easy to edge and contour sand using a selection of sanding belts. For increased versatility or for sanding long or wide stock, the sander tilts from horizontal to vertical. Tables are height adjustable.

Review: Good Economical Sander - I was looking for a edge sander and a spindle sander,and this did both. It was hard looking at the product description,and guessing about things, so I took a chance and bought it. I figured that I would have to rework some things (and I did), but for the price I didn't mind. I didn't use it straight "out of the box", because I knew that I would have been disappointed. It seems like an excellent little sander for what it does. It is only for a hobby woodworker,nothing production. First, the stand is too short and lightweight,, so I made a new heaver stand. Also the tables are too light weight and flimsy. I made a one piece adjustable table,,soo much nicer. The dust cover and angle gauge are junk,so you can throw them away. But the body of the unit is heavy steel, and the tracking adjustment works good. I was going to buy a 6x48 sander, but this 4x36 seems to fit the bill. (along with the cost savings) I was also concerned about only a 1/3 hp motor, but I use mostly 3/4 stock, and it seems to purr right through it. Although I have only had this unit for a week now,I really like it. So if you don't mind spending a few hours "fine tuning" things, I believe this is a nice little sander for the money.
Review: Exceeded Expectations - This machine is advertised as having 2 1/2 stars. I took a chance on it based on its unique design features. I am glad that I did. I did not have many of the problems other buyers had. The packaging was fine, parts were damage free and it was easy to put together. The power is appropriate for the motor size. I did not give it a full 5-star rating only because the stand is a bit too short for my liking.

*by E***R on May 1, 2015*

I've had it for about 18 months now and use it for edge sanding drawer/door fronts and slide edges in a hobby cabinet shop. I didnt really care for it from the get go, because of its lack of power, but I decided to keep it because i was able to do what i needed to with it and didnt want to buy a more expensive unit. Well, when I use it I often bog the motor down even when only applying light horizontal pressure to the piece I'm sanding with a 120 grit belt. When using it today to sand the edge of 5/8" plywood smoke starting pouring from the motor so I shut it off and called Shop Fox's customer service. The rep. told me I couldn't bog the motor down and that I blew a capacitor. At least they are sending another capacitor under the 2 year warranty. I just don't see how I will be able to sand anything in the future without bogging it down some. Unless you just need to sand the edge of 1/4" plywood, do yourself a favor and spend a little extra on something with a little more horsepower.
