I have run into a situation where it would be very handy to have a disk sander. For my present job it does not need to be very large but it does need to be solid, run true and have a mitre table that can be adjusted absolutely square to the disk.
There is a pretty bewildering variety of powered sanders around and not having used them in the past (apart from my trusty hand-held belt sander), I am unsure what to look for. Is it better to have self adhesive or velcro disks, is there merit in having a smallish one combined with a belt sander which costs about the same as the 12 inch disk sanders?
I should be grateful to hear from anyone who has one of these things.
