Belt Sanders

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
I am a DIYer who has decided that I need a sander with more grunt than the RO variety. I have looked through past discussions but couldn’t find much on belt sanders. Has anyone out there got any ideas on the best size (what is the difference between 21 inch and 24 inch in practical use?), and brands to buy? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
