frenster Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 My Delta sander has blown up and half the parts are obsolete, so it looks like it's time for a new combo sander. I've been looking at everything from Powermatic to Conquest to General International to Jet to Shop Fox to Grizzly...mostly in the 1hp -1 1/2hp range. And I have to be able to contour sand with the belt. Any favorites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 My knowledge of stationary tools is limited. I think shop fox oem's for a ton of other companies. You cant go wrong with powermatic but your going to pay a lot more for the bigger name. If your considering powermatic check out cpo they might have some refurb deals http://www.cpopowermatic.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Wray Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Have you checked out grizzly?http://www.grizzly.comI haven't bought from them but I've read they have good prices and good tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 If you decide to go with a Jet, CPO Outlet has a 15% off sale this weekend. I believe you use the code "PREZ15" when checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenster Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 That Powermatic with the CPO discount is looking real good. I'm wondering how it compares with the Jet, or the Conquest, which is USA made, and I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenster Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Or does anyone have a preference between Powermatic or Jet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
