    I am sure there must be a support group for belt sander addicts somewhere Donn.
    Stay calm, be brave....wait for the signs.

    Foredoms are awesome tools. I keep a dremel for portabilty but if you do machine time work having a foredom on the bench is awesome. Thanks Donn, had no idea and I could use just that attachment. I blow through rolls of emory cloth and it can kill ones wrists.

    Buy from OS and get a converter plug. They're sold in 115 and 230 volt versions. The 230 volt one should work on our 240 volt system.
    I've been trying to think of a use for one. Tool lust is a terrible affliction.

    Belt sander is a bit pricey at 99 bucks. Anyone found cheaper?
