I bought myself a belt/disk sander for Christmas on sale for $80.

it if you do not have a use for it?


Come spring, when I unpack it I will learn better what it can, or
perhaps cannot, do. I hope my 6" disk sander can do some of the things
that you use your 12" disk sander for. If the belt works on metal, that
will be nice. Along with the tool will come the learning...try to buy
"learning" anywhere these days for $80! ; )

At $80, one of the things that you might learn is that it's pretty easy to
stall. DAMHIKT
