Re: Tools: planer vs belt sander
In Response To: Tools: planer vs belt sander (Scott Shurlow)
: Which tool is more useful overall. They seem to be similar in
: function, but very different. I'm thinking about using this for
: more than just boats. As a guy, power tools are often on the
: Xmas list and one of these is next on the list.
: Scott
Btw, I too don't use either one often, so my belt sander is a cheap Craftsman, works ok for what it cost (not much).
My power plane is a Makita much nicer tool, also gets used only on rare occasion. Works great for planing chines on a conventional plywood boat though, used it alot for that.
