Hi guys,
I just signed up here, but I've been lurking for over a year.

I'm looking to buy a big belt sander finally, mostly for decking manifolds flat. This one from Enco seems to fit the bill, 6x89 2 hp. I'm trying to find the exact machine that Toxic uses, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Anyways, here is the link to the machine I'm looking at. I'm interested if anyone has used this machine or other enco products. I just wanted to do a quality check with the fabricators here before I dropped some money on it.

Just got your pm, thats the one I use. Great sander

 

Awesome!! Do you know a place online where I could buy the "predator ceramic" belts you raved about?

 

And btw I'm dumb, if a moderator sees this can you change the thread title from "bandsaw" to "belt sander"

 

can you take the end of it off to use the wheel for shaping?

 

Yes

 

Noice, that thing is even cheaper than i seen it for a few months ago.

 

What are the carbide turning inserts used for that is sold with this sander? Its inside the link posted, at the bottom. Thank you.

 

Just got the sander, but haven't used it yet. Everything looks great and the construction of it is very heavy duty. I think the carbide bits are not actually used with the sander, I don't know why they pop up on the page.
