I have an 80 grit disc and a 100 and 150 belts. 100 belt is on most of the time but I do sand boxes to 150 grit sometimes before I hand sand.

I don't think these are for the normal kitchen but I could see these on specialty furniture makers and that kind of thing, especially table tops. I agree with the other poster.. the high end exotic...

This is the one I just finished last weekend. I previously had a Bench Dog Pro Top contractor and it was just didn't have the size of top that I wanted. I recently bought the original Incra...
