I am looking for a combination sander. One with a belt, disk, and

has a horizontal as well as vertical belt, although that may be
possible with the same machine.
Figure to spend around $150. Is that possible? Maybe at a pawn shop?

Have you looked at Harbor Freight? It's mentioned enough on this forum that
it's hard to believe one would not look there.


I have the little HF belt/disc sander. Pretty shoddy construction, but
it works. The disk does not align squarely with the table. Moving the
table from the disk to the belt is a PITA. The price was right -- about
$60 on sale -- but ya always get what you pay for. You'll probably do
better on CL.
