Another belt sander question...

[DennisM]

Ok figure I need a belt sander at the least to get any better at segmentation.

So I found these two I can get, one is a craftsman 2x42 6" sander for 50.00 brand new in box.. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00921513000P?sid=comm_sears_productpg

and the other is a Delta Sander with base. 6inch sanding belt, 10inch sanding disc. 1.5 HP

Any thoughts on this? i am not sure the guy still has the delta but the craftsman is available..

If it's in your budget, go for the Delta. Much more versitile.

I have the Craftsman and I had to 'break' the ends of the table supports to remove it for the purposes of changing the sanding pad on the disc part of the sander. I was able to 'jury-rig' it to work again. I paid $100 for mine so $50 is an OK deal. If I was into intarsia then I'd go for the Delta!
