The prices makes me wonder how long would it last? I need to sand like 200m2 hardwood floor, will it make it?

I think so. It's not battery powered, it needs to be plugged in. So it shouldn't run out of juice in the middle of your project. If you're worried about the motor burning out for such a big project, I would seriously doubt that. Use a coarse-grit sanding belt and it will take less work from the motor. My carpenter friend has had his sander (same brand/model) for years and it's still going strong.

I have my doubts. I have used it for only a few feet2 and although adequate for this small task, it does not seem like it will handle large jobs.

Are you crazy? A meter is roughly a yard, 200 square meters is like a bowling alley, not a lane, the whole blooming bowling alley! And you're going to do that on your knees, bent over, holding a belt sander with your wrists? The motor will be fine, but the operator will be more crazy than (s)he already is, and that's saying something. Rent a floor sander. Your knees will thank you, your forearms will thank you, your wrists will thank you and you'll get to see your loved ones again before you retire.

Normal household cleaning should last you a couple of weeks. For a sander, I would suggest a couple of days.

It's certainly a heavy duty, well-built machine, if you're concerned about that aspect. It should last a while. It's also very easy to use and does a great job of tenderizing/cubing.

Sorry I have know idea what the warranty is for this tool. I needed it for one project and it worked great. Beyond that I can't comment on longevity. Perhaps another customer could give you that info. For the price I think it was a good deal for the occasional flooring project. I just made sure to add oil with each new clip. I had no jams and no problems with it.

Light duty sanding - it has worked for an hour plus or minus. I must say, that I have sent it back once and soon the second time for a faulty off/on speed change switch. I feel it was not properly engineered to handle the dust (wood) that is incurred using the tool.

Yes absolutelyI cut mine down in three pieces. Then used the 6" cut as a backsplash. Sands very well but take your time. It's hard wood. Oiled with mineral oil. Stil looks good after one year but would be great with a urethane finish too.

It is pretty good! It last for a good half hour of foot sanding, then you would have to plug it up for charging.

Yes, this is a pretty good sander. It is built fairly good runs with no vibration. If you buy one make sure you take the belt drive cover off and check it to make sure the belt is tight . I had to tighten mine. The table for the disc sander is useless because you can't square it with the disc. I hardly ever use this I do use the belt and it does a good job. I put a vacuum hose on it and it works very good removing dust. I would buy this again but it would be the 6x48 model. Steve Bailey

I am pretty sure you'd have to sand fiirst. This finish will be a lot different than the original finish. OSMO soaks in rather than sits on the surface like polyurethane. My guess is that the bruce floors are finished with polyurethane. I use this finish on all the furniture I make. It's beautiful

It depends on what kind of wood, the size and the construction. For this price it is very difficult to build it cheaper and still maintain quality. The blood channel around the perimeter will have to be routed out as well. I suggest you buy the real deal.

Yes I sure would. But I will tell you that I am disappointed after 2 years it has started to chip off. I used the thick stuff with the sand or whatever it was in it. It is hard to work with and very thick. My new wood even started to chip and I have read where others have had the same problem. Whether the guarantee works I don't know. Thought I was smart and threw away the register receipt after the first year. It is too expensive to chip off. The edges are the worst. Hope this helps you. Sincerely Debbie

No it's not suitable for doing a floor, it is difficult to control and only gives a very light sand. You really need a industrial floor sander.

This bit may scrape it off but not effectively and efficiently. A much better option although much pricier is the actual floor scraper blade. Search sdsmax floor scraper and it should come up. It is $200+. This blade is much thinner and will be sharp and actually sharpen itself as you use it.

It took me by myself in 100*F heat all day (12hrs) to assemble it. Some of the parts did not click together like they were supposed to and somehow they didn't send enough screws. There is not a foundation that comes with it either. The floor that comes with it is two pieces. There is about 30 parts total for it. The weight of it was around 500 pounds if I am not mistaken. It was not a super easy task putting it together, in fact it kicked my ass a little, and I am a infantry Marine. If I had to take it apart only to reassemble it the next day, I wouldn't, unless I had 3 other people helping me. I hope that helps...

My husband said that if you're using it at home, it's great. You'd have to take it all apart then take it somewhere to have it done. If using in a commercial sense, you'd be better off buying a heavy duty one, more expensive but probably what you might need. Prior to purchasing this one, ours lasted for a long time.

In my opinion it will not sand well or hold stain. Possibly would be able to paint, but would require roughing up or putting a primer coat first. Not really wood. It is an ok piece if it it not going to be highly used. Will not hold up to high use. Just my opinion

It's pretty well sealed. You'd have to sand it first for a good result. I thought about doing the same but never enough time :-)
