I have a Makita 4x24 belt sander. Its a good sander I guess.
Powerful. LONG cord. OK dust collection I guess. Belt tracks well.
But of all the tools I've bought over the years, the belt sander fits
into the "I wish I would not have bought it" category. Just not all
that ueful for me. I have hand planes that can smooth a surface far
quicker and easier.
