It is holding up well. Last week I ran some endgrain cutting boards through it. This weekend I lopped off some white oak log cookies/cross sections and used the sander to flatten them/take out the chainsaw marks. I never added the power feed. I do have a dust collection hood (just a wood box over the drum with a 4" hole for the hose connection) hooked up to a roll around dust collector...which I use most of the time but not always. When I don't it is a dusty mess for sure.

Its good the hear that the sander is working well. If I can ever get some free time I will get mine finished. Things have gotten a little crazy around here. Haven't been spending much time in the shop.
