Reconditioned could mean anything from it was "defective" & rebuilt, to it was "returned unused." I picked up a reconditioned Makita belt sander last year for something like $39. It looks like it was assembled once, then repackaged & returned. The tables on it are, IMHO, rather flimsy (& I suspect that's why it was returned), but it works just as it should, & for me flimsy tables don't mean too much (I can work around them & if need be strengthen them). For what I've used it to do (sharpen drill bits & do lighter more precise sanding than a 4.5" grinder will do) it's just fine, plus I couldn't beat the price with a stick.
