I'm based in the UK and looking for a belt/disc sander. A few years ago I
saw a 250v/50Hz machine, very similar to the Grizzly G1183 Heavy-Duty
Combination Sander. Having searched, I can't now find what I originally
saw. I would go for the Grizzly but they don't appear to make a 250 volt
version. Can anybody suggest what it might have been?

Hi Ian,
I'm not familiar with the Grizzly, but Axminster do a robust floor-standing
belt/disc, the Axminster AS610STS. About £350
They also do a smaller one with a 200mm disc, but I've no experience of that
one.

Don't bother with the Screwfix one - it's a POS. DAMHIKT!
Cheers

Ian,
Check out www.ukworkshop.co.uk
You should get plenty of info there. Grizzly do not manufacture tools
with a 50Hz rating. The Jet and Axminster models are similar and are
available in the UK.
