Does anyone have a good source/manufacturer for a long belt sander? i have a 6x48 but would something a little longer, especially for making  1pc longbows.

Thanks,  Mike

They are called edge sanders. Mine is a Jet but Grizzly makes great ones too.

Here ya go!

Not very often but once in a great while one will show up on Craigslist.

I drool over that grizzly with wrap around table every time I visit, like today.
