Good evening Creekers,
A couple of years ago I puchased a 12 inch wide belt sander (flat bed) from Harbor Freight. It was Central Machinery. I know there reputation but the sander worked great. I dont remember the belt length, it had to be about 48". Anyway, as some of you know i lost my shop to a fire and i want to replace that sander but can not find it anywhere. Has anyone ever seen this tool? I do a lot of boxes and every once in a while I get one that doesnt set flat and the wide flat belt would come in handy. If I cant find this machine what would you'll recomend? I have read a lot of back posts on sanders, just wondered if there are any new opinions.
