It seems like a robust piece of kit that would be suitable for both amateur DIYers and professional users on a budget. As another reviewer here has said the thing sounds like a bag of spanners in operation and if you're using it for some time noise protection should be considered.However whilst generally everything works as intended it does have two 'surprising' design elements:-1). The dust extraction port connection design is baffling. It has an outside diameter of 63mm with a very narrow 5mm-ish projecting lip. There is also very little depth behind the port for any hose to lock in reliably internally.Maybe it is made to use some professional workshop standard vacuum hose extractor design but the fact is you're not going to be able to connect it up easily to either a typical UK vacuum cleaner hose or even dedicated DIY ones. These typically use 32mm diameter connectors for which adapters are easily found but not to 63mm.The connector port of the AW150BDS is part of a larger plastic molding attached to the body of the sander so why they settled on this particular diameter: who knows? My solution was to use what I suspect is a 3D printed 63mm - 32mm hose adapter but even that needed the use of a heat gun and jubilee clip to secure it properly.2). The AW150BDS support table mounting design makes leveling it accurately impossible when used as described.The culprit is part 73, instruction manual exploded view (Page 20). This is the machined steel rod that mounts the table to the body of the machine. Oddly the larger diameter part of the rod is shown in the exploded view as entirely cylindrical. But as it is both the smaller diameter mount end and the opposite face of the larger diameter part of the rod, to which the table mount is attached, are machined flat along the side facing the screws that hold them in place.Why is this a problem?Well in my case the support table was found to be about 1.5Β° off level, horizontally across the disc sander face. The manual describes (Page 7 - instruction 9) loosening the screw attaching the table mount carriage to the wider diameter part of the rod and rotating that slightly to make it level.But, fairly obviously I would have thought, when the screw is tightened against the 90Β° machined flat face it forces the table mount back to its original position. If the rod was not machined flat that side there would be no problem so it perplexes me why they did it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Axminster Workshop AW150BDS Belt & Disc Sander - 230V - 150mm Sanding Discs (60/100/150/320/600 Grits), 150mm Hook and Loop Sandpaper, 6 Inch Sander Pads for Random Orbital Sander(50Pcs) - 100mm x 915mm Sanding Belts, 60/80/120/240/320 Grits, Belt Sander Tool for Woodworking, Metal Polishing, 5 Pack Aluminum Oxide Sanding Belt --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/424030184-axminster-workshop-aw150bds-belt-and-disc-sander-230v](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/424030184-axminster-workshop-aw150bds-belt-and-disc-sander-230v) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-13*
