One of the tools that I am lucky enough to be purchasing at the moment is a belt sander. Now, my first thought on this was the bigger the better, and after reading some reviews on the internet, I settled on the b.
Well, I actually got the sucker home last night, pulled it out and realized how freaking heavy it is. Now, I am sure the large belt and all will be nice in some applications.

And while I am at it, does anyone have any specific recommendations of brands and models that are good choices?
For instance, for a while I had been thinking about the Dewalt 3x21 Variable Speed Belt Sander. Any thoughts?
