Default Looking for a belt sander, thinking Ryobi
I am looking for a small bench top belt sander. I have had good luck with Ryobi tools and I like theirs, but I am not sure. Anyone have a small belt sander they like?

I have been using a small Delta 1" belt sander with a 6" disk for many years and I am very pleased with it. I run it hard and it has never missed a beat. I have used it for steel, brass, bone, leather and wood in my knife making. I don't think I could live without it as it is one of my most valued tools. I was just using it to trim down some over sized K frame grips I'm working on.

Mine looks like this only dirtier.

I just bought a sears 2x42 bench top model with a 6" disc sander on the side. So far so good.
