I'm working on my DC layout. A couple of tools I don't have, but
would have DC requirements are a stationary belt sander, disk sander
(or combo), a router table, and a OSS.

I got to asking myself last night, would I ever really need a
belt/disk sander? An OSS seems handy, but when would I need a
belt/disk sander?

A 2"x40" low speed belt sander does a great job sharpening things like drill
bits, shears, construction chisels, etc.

As a boat builder, I'd be lost without a 12" disk sander for shaping work.

YMMV
