Used Delta Combo Sander, Opinions?

[Charlie Gummer]

I've been thinking for quite some time of picking up a belt sander to help flatten the soles of some cheaper hand planes I have. This popped up on CL recently and has me interested:

I'm headed to check it out tonight.

Thoughts? Adequate for what I'm trying to do?

Thanks!

I guess it depends on how flat the belt sander's platen is and if it gives you the results you want. Might be a decent pick-up regardless...they can be handy if you have the space for it.
