Default Request for hand-held belt sander opinions.

I DAG-ed it. Not much real info.

Here's the 'need'. A 3 x 21 with variable speed and flush sanding
capability.
Not cordless.. NOT a Porter Cable. (I have had several, but I keep blowing
motor
bearings.)
I tried the new Ridgid, and it failed to be 'flat' enough.

What do you fine Wreckers use? Why do you like/dislike which ones?

The PC ChooChoo is too much money. Period.

TIA


I know you said no PC - However, and as good as testimonial evidence is, I
offer this info. I have used a PC 363 4x24 for years, under rough
conditions. (Sanding stainless steel and wood.) and it has held up great.
This work killed my other brands. I will generally use the belt sander
first then finish flat sanding with the all to bitchen, PC505 1/4 sheet
sander.
