Default what sanders dose everyone use

I'm new to welding I'm buying a tig machine soon. I want to get some good tools like grinders and sanders. So i was wondering what was everyone useing. I'm looking for a decent but not to expensive disc / belt sander. And whats everyone useing for a grinders. Any advise on tools to get for both prep work and cleaning up welds would be great.

Thanks

I use a jet belt and disc sander, 6"x48". Works wonderful. I did use to use a dake 3"x68 I think was the belt size. Nothing but problems. Only thing I miss about it was its 3hp motor

6x48 is the only way to go for a belt sander, anything else just wears out too fast.

+1. We are still using the same Jet 1.5HP 6x48 belt sander I bought almost 8 years ago now. Used daily and we beat the hell out of it. Only thing we've done is replace the on/off switch about once every other year.

I did look at the Jancy Radius Master, it looked nice.
