There is a table top drum sander made by Ryobi (????) that sells
for the $400 to $500 range. Performax has one at $800 with 16"
drum and power feed. Grizzly has floor models for $750, $1200 &
$1500 depending on size.

I have a new machine shop doing small amounts of sheet metal work.
After cutting out the 1/8" aluminum parts I need the surfaces to go
through a timesaver sander. However, I can't afford this machine
right now so I am looking for a smaller version of this machine. Is
there any machine out there that works just like a timesaver, but has
only a 10 to 12 inch belt sander? I would love to fine a sander that
is similar to the benchtop planars that you can find at Home Depot.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
