Can you use this sander to sand metal if you buy the right sand paper or is it just for wood

Yes you can use this sander to sand metal. I purchased this sander specifically to sharpen knifes and metal cutting tools, just make sure to use the right sand paper.

Is the motor loud when running with nothing being sanded? How would you compare it to a corded 3/8" drill?

It's not the quietest sander but if I had to rate the noise level on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the quietest and 10 being the loudest, I would give it an 8 with just the motor running.

How powerful is it. Does it bog down when putting moderate pressure against the belt or disk. Also does it run true with little to no wobble?

1) With moderate pressure, it does not bog down. With heavy pressure it slows a bit, but I have not found that to be problematic. However, so you know, I use it with 1/2 in wide belts, so there would be a bit more drag with 1 in belts. 2) There is no significant wobble. It runs true. 3) The only problem I found was a slightly uneven platen, but I was able to bend it back true.

What material are the drive and idler wheels made of?

They are made of injection molded thermoplastic, not rubber. I'd guess ABS plastic, though not sure. They are well formed and the larger drive wheel has radial reinforcement webs. They are certainly not fiber reinforced or a more exotic like Acetal (Delrin).
