I know you get what you pay for but how bad can ancient tech nohow be:

I don't know Voche. Some of the worst power tools only make the guarantee year if you hardly use them. My Aldi belt grinder overheats after 10 minutes or so. Hope it's not a rebadged red devil.

And that is in no way ancient tech. Any ancient tool that still survives should run for many years yet if you can tolerate its limitations.

If you're hard up enough to want to buy junk, why not make a belt sander from wood scrap.
