Hello all,
I am looking at bench sanders like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TERRATEK-BELT-SANDER-Bench-Sander-4-Mitre-Belts-and-6-Disc-sand-sanding-375W/161586275932?_trksid=p2054897.c100204.m3164&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140407115239%26meid%3D62be847427a04b3bb042e09d57dd2fdc%26pid%3D100204%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D30%26sd%3D400815446563
Are they any good on metal.
Thanks
Jon

I have the Clarke version from Machine Mart ( usual disclaimer ) & I have used it on wood, Brass, Aluminium steel, with the belt as supplied, so in answer to your question.. yes.

I use a modified Record BDS250 for tool sharpening and stock removal. It takes six inch wide belts normally but I've fitted an easily removed Auxiliary platen to use 2" belts. I also fitted a table for using the belt. Poor old bench grinder doesn't get much use now!

Very nice mods Arbalist!  :thumbup: :thumbup: :clap: :beer:

I tried to use one for steel but it was not up to the job and under powered for steel.
I ended up buying a proper linisher to do steel for around $500 from memory.
