: Belt sander is faster, can also destroy things faster :)

My belt sander is a good friend of mine. One you have to respect, though. I often use it to shape stems. Start with 60 grit and then do moderate shaping with 80 grit. If you need more control, just use a higher grit. I even used it for the general fairing of an entire kayak... not something I generally recommend doing!
