I want to get a feeling for how many of you incorporate a belt sander's use in your work when making furniture - at any stage. I wrote an article about belt sanding and submitted it to Popular Woodworking, and they seemed to poo-poo the use of belt sanding in furniture making. I disagree with them, but what do I know?
Anyway, please take the poll. THANKS! Todd.
1) You regularly use a belt sander? What stage(2)?
2) You rarely use a belt sander? What motivation?
3) You would not dream of touching your work with a belt sander. Why not?
