Compact Belt Sander

Has anyone bought the Porter Cable Compact Belt Sander # 371 (2 1/2"
x 14"belt)? Are its capabilities different enough from its bigger
brother ( PC 337, 3" x 21") to justify the purchace price?

Joe,

I don't have one, but have looked at in the store<g>

It would seem that it would be much easier to control. Typically, belt
sanders do their own thing without much control from the operator...This one
might obey a little better and you should be able to reign it some before it
sands all the way down to the 'quick'.

Yep... It's a good one... If you need to justify tool
purchases, you are in the wrong hobby.

I have had one for about 6 months and I love it. Nice and light weight
but still plenty of power.
