Reviews
I purchased the Crux Base model based on the fact that on paper it fit my needs perfectly and the compact size was a plus!! The sander was packaged very well for shipping. Setup was super simple (just plug it in) and it worked flawlessly! Andy answered any questions I had and has been wonderful throughout this whole experience. I highly recommend buying one if you’re thinking about it. I know when the time comes to expand I’ll definitely be buying another!! 10 out of 10, zero complaints here!
Andy with compact metalworks was amazing to deal with from start to finish. He made sure shipping to Canada went smooth. And made sure to follow up that the grinder arrived safely with no damage. The performance is amazing, just as good or better than a 2x72”. Highly recommend to anyone in search of a well built grinder that will meet a hobbyist or a professionals needs!
