Can it be used before grinding metal?

The quality of the sander is at a very low level, but one has to deal with that at a price of up to 3,000. count. This includes work surfaces that are not always straight, rarely 90 degree angles are true, so it is good to measure them when assembling. The sander as such has sufficient performance, I use it when making knives and I am satisfied with it after I had to center the plastic wheels of the belt, which definitely do not have the appropriate geometry, I recommend doing this immediately, at the first start. Otherwise, I am satisfied with it, it met my expectations. A good buy for a novice knife maker. The belt in the package is of poor quality, I recommend replacing it with another one as soon as possible.
Sharp-edged, imprecise grinding tables, a grinding plate that looked like it was a few years old. The self-adhesive sanding disc didn't stick to it either. I first had to help with double-sided adhesive tape. The box is screwed crooked to the on/off switch behind the motor. The grinding belt jams and does not run centered. Maybe you can still adjust it. But shouldn't that be set correctly at the factory? The whole thing is crowned by inadequate assembly and operating instructions, which are difficult to read even with a magnifying glass. The first impression of this grinder is negative. The question of how it will perform in use is still open. The grinding tables have now been deburred and the sanding belt has been adjusted. Apart from the manufacturing defects, the device works well. Expondo’s reaction was also good. After learning about the defects, they wanted to replace the device immediately. I kept it and received a discount for it. If you include sensible instructions for use with the device and carry out the final assembly more carefully, then you can live with the price/performance ratio.
I can't say much because I returned it since the tables are not perfectly flat and I am very fussy about these things. As a sanding machine, it is surely very good since it is a good brand. I have to say that the relationship with the seller was excellent and he attended to me immediately without problems. I do give the seller five stars
3 stars because the construction is good, at least for its value for money, and at first glance the power is also good. The replacement of the belts is good and above all "quick", as you just need to unscrew a screw (and you don't even need to external tools), and remove a lid to turn on the compartment, a little complicated to understand at first, but just understand it the first time and it becomes a breeze. I don't like the fact that they don't give you a velcro disc as standard, you have to buy it aside, which is a bad thing anyway, given that if you need to change discs you have to buy other ones, and I think the glue no longer works, so once it comes off you have to throw it away, also I would have preferred a quick release system for suction of the waste, which in any case is not a problem, just don't mount it. For the belts however we are "worse", the 40 grain roughing belts are difficult to find, you have to opt for a 40x760 which does not start the sander, or 25x762, which enter better, but you still have to adjust the roller, which is inconvenient, because you have to unscrew a bolt with 2 wrenches and at the same time tension the belt just right.
