Belt Sander ?

[Chas Fuggetta]

Hey gang, I have a 10' x 15' deck I need to refinish. I'm looking at the Rigid 3 x 18 belt sander. Would it do the job or is there a better choice for about the same money? The Rigid is $100 and I'd like a unit I could use for this job then use for other projects/furniture builds.

That's a lot of area for a hand sander. Look at renting a floor sander. It would allow you to stand while you sand and probably get the job done faster. Don't forget to wear a dust mask.

+1 for a floor sander. The little belt sander can be used for harder to reach areas.

Rent a "U-Sand" floor sander from Home Depot.

I don't see a 'U-Sand' on their website only the drum sander. I'll check it out on my way home. Thanks for the input gang!
