I've got a nice little Sears Belt/Disc sander combo that was marketed for
wood working...  I'm more into metal work now and wonder if that unit would
work for metal work as well...

it's a 4 x 36" belt/ 6" disk...2800rpm 2/3 hp table top unit #0921536...
not a heavy duty sander but adequate for light fab work..(I think ?)

my other question is on belt/disc recommendations... what type belts/disc
are best for light metal work ??   aluminum oxide ??   open coat ??  closed
coat ???

I need some guidance here guys ??

thanks

John
