WEN 6321 7-Amp 3 in. x 21 in. Corded Belt Sander with Dust Bag, Black

The cooling fan got chipped and then disintegrated as soon as I turned it on and adjusted the belt for the first time. I had purchased this same model from another shop and the same thing happened. I initially thought it was my bad luck in the first instance, but it happened a second time. So the problem likely lies in the seller or their stock of the product itself is faulty. I returned the product and received the refund from the seller.

Je l’utilise pour enlever la peinture sur ma galerie.je suis satisfait de ce produit il est efficace et ergonomique et fort durable pour un travail bien fait. Je le recommande.

Great sander. Sanded a 20x40 deck several times with no problems. Debated about getting a more expensive variable speed unit. Glad I didn’t. I see no need for variable speed. My deck was painted. I tried sanding the paint off but that would have taken forever so I used Behr paint / stain stripper first. I applied a coat of stripper letting it soak for at least an hour misting it with hose water every 15 minutes to keep it damp. Next, I used a pressure washer to take off as much paint as possible then applied another coat and did the same procedure. I let the deck dry completely for a day then sanded with 40 grit to take off 90 % of remaining paint then 80 grit to take off the last of it while giving it a nice smooth ready to stain finish. I went through a 10 pack of each 40 grit and 80 grit. Could have used a few more of each but I was cooked. It was a ton of work that took about 5 days and tough on the back and knees but saved a ton of money. Do’s and dont’s…. Be sure to empty dust bag often. Canned air didn’t do much to clean it out, I used a leaf blower on the sander and on the desk, Don’t bother unzipping the bag just empty it from the other end.i don’t think that zipper will hold up long. The dust bag worked well but I wore a dust mask anyway as there is still some dust floating in the air. Don’t sand over a leaf like I did. It will clog up the sander. Took a little while to clean it out. Also don’t run over the power cord like I told myself not to do but did anyway. It mangled the cord and got seriously stuck in the sander. Now I have to cut off the cord about a foot from the sander and install a new plug so my sander will now have just a foot long power cord. Doh! Oh well it will match my circular saw whose cord is also very short from when I cut it off with the saw lol.

It's a solid tool although it's not particularly light; on the other hand, it has a lot of power for its size. I use it a lot. The belt tracks quite well.

I recently purchased the WEN 6321 3” x 21” Belt Sander and have been very impressed with how simple and effective it is. Right out of the box, it’s easy to use and requires very little setup, which makes it ideal for both beginners and experienced users. What stood out most to me is how quickly it sands large areas. Whether I’m smoothing rough plywood, removing old finishes, or prepping wide boards, it handles the job efficiently and saves a lot of time compared to other sanders I’ve used. The build quality is solid for the price, and it feels comfortable to hold during longer sanding sessions. It doesn’t have a lot of extra features, but that’s part of what makes it great—there’s nothing unnecessary getting in the way. The dust collection isn’t perfect, and the included sanding belt wore out fairly quickly, but those are minor issues considering how affordable this tool is. For the price point, I honestly didn’t expect this level of performance. It’s a great value for anyone who needs a reliable belt sander for home projects, woodworking, or general surface prep. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a no-fuss tool that gets the job done.
