I found a unit that I rebuilt. I use it a lot.
I also recently aquired a Rigid belt and spindle.. haven't used it
much, didn't like the belt as much as I thought, prefer my old one. I
do like the spindle and oscilation, and dust collection.

But if I didn't have the old one I might appreciate the belt more.

I'm curious how well it would work on polycarbonate, to "remove BS
marks". I may have to buy one to find out...
I think it would either work "great" or "crappy" (melting the poly).
Interesting that NONE of the benchtop units are variable
speed, unlike most of their handheld counterparts.




I also have a 1" wide crapsman that I love too. I use it mostly for
metal but also replace the belt for wood that needs a small belt or an
inside done as this can be threaded through and remounted to do inside
sanding.
