Just wondering what brand you guys are using for a 4" wide belt sander?Looking for a new one just trying to stay away from the junk one's.

Check out the multi tool belt sander attachment for bench grinders. It works great easy to swap out belts and a pretty good variety as well.

Not exactly what you were asking for but for what its worth, my Wilton 4200A (combination 12" disc and 6" belt sander) work great.

I have an EllisMfg. 2.5x60 Horz belt sander and also use a RadiusMaster 2x48 belt sander from Trick Tool's. They both work awesome.

I have a Ryobi I bought from HD. I don't use it a whole bunch, and for limited use I think it is fine. It was about $100, and again, for limited home use, I think it fills the bill. If you are doing a really big project or want a real heavy duty machine, I would keep looking.

Just my $.02.

I have a Matco bench grinder with the multi-tool attachment. Even thought it is one of the smaller ones, it works great. Another Craigslist find.

I have a stand-up 2 in wide belt sander with a HD baldor motor and heavy pedestal. It is the tool I use the most and is fantastic for fabrication and weld prep. With a 36 grit belt it takes things down in a hurry.
