Makita 9910 Factory Reconditioned 3-inch x 18-inch Belt Sander With Du Review

I purchased a Makita belt sander model 9910 from CPO Makita. Amazon went through fine and CPO shipped item on time and it arrived right on time. Thats all I can say good about this transaction. First the beltsander was totally filled with saw dust, it was like it was just taken off a job and placed in the box. I took the time to blow the unit off and get it cleaned up. Then I attached the sandpaper belt and plugged it in. It sounded nice, quiet opperation and it ran well, the problem was the belt was NOT moving. Thinking the belt wasnt tight I looked around for an adjustment and noticed that the geared side of the belt roller was stuck and wouldnt move. So I took apart the gear belt cover and saw that the whole belt was incased in gunk, and the actual gear belt totally shreaded and broken. So the motor was working fine but the gear belt was torn up. So this was Not reconditioned, someone just pulled the tigger said hmm works fine, not noticing the belt wasnt moving and packaged it up and said SUCKER. OK I can understand maybe the unit got overlooked and wasnt cleaned, or the belt broke when I tested it, or the ton of caked on gunk inside the belt casing just got missed,even the reconditioned tag was worn and torn off, but to miss ALL of these things CPO dropped the ball. I dont fault Amazon on this and im sure if I complained they would fix the problem. Normally I would not put up such a stink but i was counting on having this beltsander for a weekend project, not to be. The beltsander itself looks like it will be a good one built very nice, makita did a good job on the design. I have ordered the replacement belt via another company. I will eat this purchase because its not worth shipping back only to get another piece of junk at least I know what I got with this one. CPO dosent have to worry about bad reviews from me again, Because im never using CPO Makita again. Bottom line is Beware reconditioned items.
