This month I welcomed a new sander to my workshop. It's a 6x48 belt sander, benchtop model. The company which makes it is Meta International in Taiwan. This is the company's website page:

This sander also comes in a model that includes a 12 inch disc along with the belt. I have a disc sander, so I didn't think I needed another one. I plan to use the sander for preparation of guitar necks, specifically the headstock and back of the neck.
This sander is sold in England by Axminster. Here is a photo of my sander. I didn't put all the guards on because they would obscure areas of the belt I plan to use. The belt can be positioned anywhere between vertical and horizontal.
