I just went to their site yesterday to look up my CMS I bought a year
ago because the switch for the laser is bad and they don't have it any
longer.
Maybe they are dropping products that their other brand(s) make.

I agree that these belts sanders are heavy duty work horses.
I have sold Porter-Cable tools for over 25 years! I have won numerous
awards for sales volumn with selling Porter-Cable products. I have sold
1000's of tools. In my career......I have sold two of the "Loco-belt
sanders". That is why PC is droping the unit, just not enough sales!

P/C confirms it is history.
Time to find another manufacturer.
IMHO, the entire line of P/C belt sanders now falls into the group
known as POS.
I wouldn't hit a dead dog in the rear end with any of their existing
belt sander product line.

Just about the time when I can afford to buy one they discontinue the
thing. If I had any smarts I would buy the rights and all remaining
production parts to the sander and make some.

$500.00 is a bit steep for the average guy. I guess I will have to hit ebay
for a used one.

Let me know if you find something that comes close. I am willing to bet
that you won't.
