: Actually I bought a stationary belt/disc sander and now use it far
: more than I ever used the portable belt sander. Also it's much
: easier to hook up to the dust blower so makes a heck of alot
: less of a mess in the shop.

: Bill H.

That's good news as my wife just bought me one as a Christmas gift. Well ... I bought it and she decided to gift-wrap it! So now I won't get to use it for another 3 weeks. But it's nice to know it will be useful! It's impossible to do an accurate job with a hand-held power plane so I have great hopes that my fitting standards will improve. I should explain that I don't blame the tool for my lousy workmanship, it's my fault for using the wrong one.
