I'm planning on buying a combination disc/belt sander very shortly, but I'm not sure which to get.
I was originally looking at the basic Grizzly one:
http://www.grizzlyindustrial.com/products/Combination-Sander-6-x-48-Belt-9-Disc-Z-Series/G1014ZIt seems like a pretty basic, but solid machine. It seems on this style the cast iron table need to be moved from the belt to the disc.
Then I started to look at what I would get for a little more money. It looks like most of them come with enclosed bases, with would take up space IMO that I don't have, and I'm not really sure what more you get (except in some cases a 12" disc).
Grizzly also has this style:
http://www.grizzlyindustrial.com/products/Combination-Sander-6-x-48-Belt-12-Disc-1725-RPM/G1276
The obvious differences between this and the 1014 are no stand and 2 cast iron work tables.
But are these things worth double the price over the 1014?
There also are basic combo sanders from Delta, Jet, Craftsman, I looked at.
What would you suggest?
, and saw this Shop Fox.
