I'm in the market for a belt sander, and my preference would be for a 100mm wide jobbie. That's restricts the choices quite significantly, and will be more expensibve to run, but many of the targets for it will be ~100mm wide (e.g. fence palings that I don't necessarily want to put through the jointer/thicky).
100mm choices that I can spot are:
Hitachi at $365 (1020w)
Makita at $409 (1200w)
Festool - a snip at $1587 (1400w) That comes with other accessories, but it's a matter of whether I'd use them....
75mm width opens up more choices, and cheaper running, but means twice as many passes....
What thoughts does the Brains Trust have on this please?
