Belt Sander

If you can find one I would go for a Delta or Delta/Rockwell belt/disk sander. They are pretty much the standard all others are judged against. I was able to purchase one several years ago for less than scrap price. All it needed a couple bearings and a drive belt. It's been in my shop nearly 20 years and the only thing it's needed are a few new sanding belts and disks. They're tough as nails and can work all day without breaking a sweat.

Yep, 2 bearings and a new belt. I paid more than scrap price though. Heck, the op did a beautiful job of a diy sander!677F5915-BFA3-44DB-8FD2-9191C9D9982A.jpeg
 
That is an old Rockwell with a Delta stand.
Ah, if it is whole, that is a deal
 
great deal! (too far for me by 1000 miles)!
 
Thanks mr Whoopee, I'm in Calgary, 4 hours north of the 49 parallel....
 
Sorry I misunderstood. I have a 6X48" of lesser quality, but it is steep to upgrade for $650!

I have the skills to build a great one, just have to make the time!
 
Kalamazoo makes some very nice industrial grinders. I picked up a 6x48 3hp single phase baldor powered grinder for $350. I drove a bit but after restoring it, it is super nice.
