I'm starting to research a stationary sander (my first) for a small (16x24) shop. I always seem to see the disc / belt combo. I'm looking for something to smooth edges of blanket chests, and the inside of curves. Would a small edge sander work in this capacity? Any suggestions?

Bob, I have two sanders, both Grizzly. The 6 X 80 belt sander and the large ossilating spindle sander. I think they may now have a combo of the two. They both work great and I really like the oss for inside curves.
I never could see alot of value in the 12" disc sanders.

I was wondering if their edge sander would work? Can the end of the sander be exposed for curves?

Yes, you can use the end for inside curves...but the little table doesn't give much support, especially on large pieces. Wouldn't be too hard to build a big table around the whole sander, though. Whether or not you use the end, you'll be 'happier enough' using it for straight edges to justify the purchase.
