Title: Edge Sander
Post by: White Oak on June 05, 2012, 11:11:00 PM
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Grizzly G1072 6"x48" edge sander? Yeah I know its small for an edge sander but my shop space is also limited.It has also been discontinued so I need to find out if parts are still available.The owners manual and parts list is downloadable if he doesn't have them. Asking price is $350 with a very large assortment of belts and stand.Seems kind of high. I have heard they sold for around $500 new. I have been thinking about building my own and then this came up. A plus is the fact that it uses the same size belts as my large sander. A negative is its an import but what isn't today in power tools. I do have a grizzly joiner that has been good to me over the years.
Thanks in advance
Ed

sounds like its a little steep to me--and belts have a shelf life--not to say you can't use them --but old belts are'nt worth muchIMO--as for parts for a discontinued unit-only grizz can tell you for sure
