Hi Fellows,
I once owned a belt sander and didn't have much use for it. But in the last few weeks I've had the use for one when installing some cabinets for certain jobs. I don't like them but when doing the scribes for installations they work. I'm so used to my Festool sanders that I was wondering if anyone used a Rotex or any of the other sanders for this purpose. I haven't tried them just because I'm too lazy to lug them to the job site. The Festool sanders aren't heavy it's just the idea of the vacuum.
That belt sander puts off a lot of dust. I went out yesterday and bought a Dewalt DW433 or something and have found it to be lacking. I just don't like it. But I was thinking that the rotary movement of the Rotax might dislodge or separate the laminates from the substrate if it catches an edge. That has been my concern and that is why I haven't used them for that reason. Any thoughts on this???? I think I'll take the Dewalt back.
Thanks
