The review I read about it running hot are pretty accurate. It does get hot after a short while, but for a little feller, it'll sho'nuff eat up some wood! It's easy to avoid the heat by holding the front handle and the cord at the rear. If "one handed" use is necessary, simply grip near the front end, where it runs much cooler. It's the rear portion that gets hot, but I haven't found it to be too detrimental.I took one of the reviewer's advice and ordered some Mirka belts for it in 80, 120 and 180. I've found that I use the 80's most of the time, then switch to a palm sander for 100 and 180 after the belt. No tracking issues with the Mirka belts.It's a nice little sander! Git 'cha one...

I am sanding about 30 pieces of 24"x2'x2" white oak using this sander. This should be a simple task. By the forth piece the sander started getting REALLY hot. It is so hot there are areas of it I cannot touch. I am using 80 grit with little to no pressure. I am writing this during one of my many "cool down" breaks. I plan to return this item.
