Them's fightin' words...
I was just going to say that I don't have that model, but I have an
old little "Sandcat" or something like that which takes 2.5"x16"
belts, IIRC. Same size range, at any rate. Handy size for a belt
sander, in my opinion. It's nice for rough, quickly-slapped-together
work like an ape might do, but hand planes or scrapers work better for
any fine furniture building. (just a reply in kind...)

Recently got one and I like it a whole lot, too. It's great for a hacker
like me whose motto is "cut once, sand twice."

Thanks for the responses guys. Think I'll get one. BTW, until recently, I
was doing most all flatening and finishing with hand planes and scrapers.
The only sander I owned was a finisher. Recent convert to sanding. It really
is a better way.
