The cost of a SCMI wide belt has eclipsed what my business can realistically support so I have been looking at less expensive alternatives. This one is less than ten G's.
I just got rid of a drum sander that was a pain in the tush, so no drum sander suggestions please.
My hands are going to hell fast, and RA sanders are hard on them, so I am looking to preserve them as best I can. They are kind of a necessity. A sander "NOW" that does a good job, even if not all that fast would seem to be a priority. My SCMI planer gets very close at 16' per minute for prepping stock, but then I have to sand assembled panels and doors.
I hate compromise, but I have to deal with the reality of the economy as it is. I looked at used but most are questionable, so I would prefer new.
Any feedback on this machine would be appreciated.
