For years I had a Wilton 2" x 42" belt sander/Disc sander that served me extremely well for making scales and wedges. It was a workhorse. Comes with a platen. Eventually the motor burned out on me and the tracking wheels needed replacement but it took probably 4 years of daily use and abuse. I still miss it and the only reason I never replaced it is because I have my variable 2" x 72" speed belt grinders with all the accessories.
They are still being made by Jet. It's the J-41002. Worth saving up for. Buy once but buy wisely.
