DEWALT DW433 Heavy Duty 8 Amp 3-Inch by 21-Inch Variable Speed Belt Sander with Dust Canister Review

I am a contractor who recently started my own business and have been buying a lot of tools.I used the Porter Cable belt sander before and loved it but figured DeWalt was great brand so I bought this sander.In as few words as possible; I hate it!I mean I really do not like using it and here's why:

Cons
-Belt tracking doesn't work and I am constantly watching it instead of my work to make sure the belt doesn't work its way to one side and shred itself.I have had many belts get shredded and as a result damaged the wood I was sanding.
-Dust collector is poorly attached; bag falls off too easily causing dust to blow everywhere in a matter of seconds.
-Dust collection system gets clogged and I find I have to constantly blow it clean with a compressor.
-Comes in a ridiculously HUGE case.It's great if you bought the stand with it (unlike me) since there's room for it.It's so big I also keep a palm sander, 2 8" quick clamps and a lot of extra belts (you'll need them).Pros
-The only pro I can think of is that it looks cool.
