I bought an open box version from a 3rd party vendor who sells on desertcart, and then discovered that the Ridgid guarentee is therefor not available. Review: Great Belt Sander - After reviewing the full range of belt sanders available, I chose the Rigid R2740 to replace my old Wen sander. The Rigid is powerful enough and easy to control. Since I don't normally sand wood floors with the tool, I don't need a 4" sander since that has too much power. The veriable spped, easy belt chanaging, and automatic tracking all work well. What is amazing is the extremely efficient dust collection system. Using a tapered hose attachment, I was able to hook my Shopvac to the dust outlet. This arrangement worked fine. I would recommend this sander to anyone. ## Features - This item is SANDER, BELT 3 X 18 R2740 28533 - This product is used for power-detail-sanders - This product manufacture by China ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | AC Adapter Current | 6.5 A | | ASIN | B001W0ZI2C | | Amperage Capacity | 6.5 A | | Battery Description | Corded Electric | | Best Sellers Rank | #851,465 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #339 in Power Belt Sanders | | Brand | RIDGID | | Brand Name | RIDGID | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 259 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00095691285331 | | Grit Number | 80 | | Grit Type | Medium | | Included Components | bare-tool; attachments | | Item Weight | 8.2 pounds | | Manufacturer | Ridgid | | Manufacturer Part Number | 28533 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 90-Day satisfaction guarantee policy, Limited 3-year warranty, Lifetime Service Agreement | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 950 rpm | | Model Number | 28533 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Shape | R27401 | | UPC | 095691285331 648846051802 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 120 volts | ## Product Details - **AC Adapter Current:** 6.5 Amps - **Brand:** RIDGID - **Grit Type:** Medium - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Voltage:** 120 Volts ## Images ![RIDGID R2740 Heavy Duty Variable Speed Belt Sander 3 in. x 18 in - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LTAWdBO1L.jpg) ![RIDGID R2740 Heavy Duty Variable Speed Belt Sander 3 in. x 18 in - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51AzRZntzoL.jpg) ![RIDGID R2740 Heavy Duty Variable Speed Belt Sander 3 in. x 18 in - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tQWer-DRL.jpg) ![RIDGID R2740 Heavy Duty Variable Speed Belt Sander 3 in. x 18 in - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712JU7J4lyL.jpg) ![RIDGID R2740 Heavy Duty Variable Speed Belt Sander 3 in. x 18 in - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Bj42y-4TL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great *by W***D on October 5, 2024* A fine product. I bought an open box version from a 3rd party vendor who sells on Amazon, and then discovered that the Ridgid guarentee is therefor not available. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Belt Sander *by J***I on September 15, 2009* After reviewing the full range of belt sanders available, I chose the Rigid R2740 to replace my old Wen sander. The Rigid is powerful enough and easy to control. Since I don't normally sand wood floors with the tool, I don't need a 4" sander since that has too much power.

Using a tapered hose attachment, I was able to hook my Shopvac to the dust outlet. This arrangement worked fine. I would recommend this sander to anyone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not sure about power button *by J***R on December 23, 2022* Great sanders. Feels good in hand, easy to move and control. Would have given 5 stars however the start trigger seems to not want to start the motor, there's a tiny delay. I'm guessing this may be due to it not starting up at max speed. I don't think it's a bad connection ( wishful hoping) . I'm more inclined to think it's the brushless motor and starts a little differently. Will see what happens. --- ## 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.ph/products/8097140-ridgid-r2740-heavy-duty-variable-speed-belt-sander-3-in](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8097140-ridgid-r2740-heavy-duty-variable-speed-belt-sander-3-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
