Hi all,
I have been looking at small hobbyist combined belt and disc sanders, but have no idea what is a good make.Confused

Has anyone owned one of these? Was it any good? What would be a good price to pay? Seen some on ebay for as little as £25.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply Peter, but i'm looking for something a bit bigger, but will still sit on a bench.

Any ideas anyone?

If you can still find one, Bohler Minitools of Germany used to make a great mini belt sander.

There is also a little 'dock' with guide that can be bolted to the workbench thathelp you introduce the material to the sander for nice, accurate 90deg work.
