I thinking about getting one to replace my antique Craftsman(1958) version. I'm primarily looking for better dust collection and more power.
I'll probably keep the Craftsman for metal work since it doesn't have any dust collection.
Last night while cruising thru Wood Magazine's tips, saw one on DC for a belt sander. Basically just a piece of PVC pipe cut open to fit around roller on belt sander, then connected to DC.
