I've been looking for a belt sander, but I'm perplexed. See, I have a really nice 12" Jet disc sander, but there are times when a belt sander would be really nice. However, I have found that very few manufacturers make a machine that is JUST a belt sander. Nearly all are combo machines. Most of the ones that are available are over $1000, although there are a couple that are around $800. That is significantly more than many of the combo machines. I'm curious as to why this is. I really don't need a combo machine, but I think I may end up with one. Any suggestions on machines? A company called Kalamazoo looks to have some of the least expensive models I have seen, but I don't know anything about them. Then there is Grizzly, they sell a 6" x 80" Edge sander for less than $700
