Title: Power tools on bows.
Post by: Chris Grimbowyer on March 06, 2011, 07:10:00 PM
Hey guys I am going to purchase a new belt sander and was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on what brand to get for the price. I have been looking at reviews for hours and cannot settle on anything but that the skill one is not so great. Any recomendations?

No particulr brand recommendation from me. All I will say is a get a reputable brand of some sort. Cheapys will not last long if you use them enough.

Get a 6X48 Grizzly, mighty fine machine and next to my bandsaw it's the workhorse of my shop.

I also have a Grizzly 6"x48" table top belt/disc sander...and a 14 1/2" Grizzly band saw, both get plenty of use in my bow shop.
