Does anybody know if this is a decent sander? I am in need of a wide belt drum sander, but don’t have a ton of money to go out and get my Timesaver. :) There is one of these Grizzly’s for sale near me for $800. I will be mainly using it for cabinet doors and for sanding material after thickness planing.

What happened? Did you purchase the sander?
