Editor's Review: Belt sander built for scribing

by Kit Camp review date: September 1, 2007

Although it looks like a toy, the 371K belt sander from Porter-Cable is a workhorse. The machine runs quietly, but the stout 5-amp motor refuses to bog down in normal use. The tool also has a low center of gravity, so in almost every use, I can hold it with just one hand and still accurately follow scribe lines. This tool won't replace a traditional belt sander when it comes to surfacing, but it's well worth its asking price when it comes to scribing.
