Jet horizontal / vertical edge belt sander

[turnerbc]

Hi,
I am looking to buy a stationary belt sander and have been looking at the Jet EHVS-80. It looks identical to one sold by Axminster as the BL80 Vertical/Horizontal Belt linisher which is £100 cheaper. Has anyone any experiece of using either of these and if so what do you think of them?

Regards,

Barry.

This may need some clarification by someone else Barry, but I believe Jet and Axminster are the same thing, in which case go for the cheaper option - you're paying extra for the label. There is some discussion whether the Jet brand (more expensive) has higher spec'd components.
Hopefully someone else will confirm....!

Welcome aboard - and "stationary belt sander"... :roll: Can't I convince you to enter the box making competition and win a plane instead??? :wink:
