portable bench top belt sander.

[J.N.]

I have a small disc sander in my work room and have found it so helpful that I now want a small portable bench top; belt sander, or linisher. At the moment the belt sander will not have to deal with much work but as always, once it is in use I will ask myself why did I not buy one years ago. Unfortunately I cannot source a suitable belt sander, all the small machines I have come across are belt and disc. Does anyone know of a stand alone bench top belt sander fitted with a sanding table suitable for model work, or, can anyone recommend a combined disc/belt sander.

My disc sander is a Proxxon and along with my other Proxxon tools I have come to realize that price is not always the best way to chose a tool.

My advise would be to wait until Aldi or Lidl have their sander/grinder back in stock for £30 can't be beaten.

whats wrong with having grinding wheel on side the aldi ones are good just make sure you know what size belts you need aldi will not fit a lidl as i found out but are cheap on ebay

I'm going to show my ignorance now... I've used a disc sander in the past, but never a belt sander. It seems to me that they would do much the same thing so I am wondering why you would need to have both on one machine. I'm sure there's a logical explanation.
