I'm looking to replace my old Rockwell belt sander, its getting pretty tired and I would like to get a new one. Its a general shop belt sander, used mostly to deburr parts and edges, but occasionally I will do some shape contouring or something on the table and its really nice to have the back platen be square to the table so I get a square cut.
I want to get a nice unit that will last, I'm not interested in cheap crap like Jet or Baileigh. USA made is best for me, but I'm ok with a nice Euro unit if such a thing is available and comparable.
I was looking pretty hard at a Kalamazoo S6MS, but I would like to see if there's something I am missing before I buy one.
Burr King doesn't seem to make a belt sander with this size belt, and with the nice platen back and adjustable table on the front.
Not too concerned with price, just want a quality unit.
What else is out there?
