Hello all,

I have a question about the 15 inch wide belt sanders. I read the archives that a few guys talked about the Bridgewood and a few other brands. The posting was a few years old and I was wondering how you guys that own them feel now that you have had them for awhile. I am considering a Bridgewood that is used but the fellow says it is in perfect condition. He says it is lightly used. It is 3 ph and has a 7.5 hp motor. Is that enough motor? I know they are made for light sanding and not made for dimensioning lumber, I have a planer for that. I'm going to post this question on the Yahoo forum about widebelts to see if anyone has a Bridgewood over there.

Thanks
Ben
