Excellent thread, and post. I have that same Dewalt tablesaw, and like it. I use Porter Cable ROS. I'd like a Bosch jig saw - but so far, only lumps of coal in my stocking..... I'm hoping for enough to heat this winter! But I'm curious - which PC belt sander do you like? Son-in-law needs one.

I've got a 3" x 24" Porter Cable belt sander which is thirty years old. It's got to weight 15 pounds and you have to plant your feet firmly so you don't end up getting dragged across the room and hit the wall.

New version is PORTER-CABLE 360VS 12 Amp 3-Inch by 24-Inch Variable Speed Belt Sander.

I made a jig to hold is on it's side and clamp to a bench to use as an edge sander. Used that for years.

But a couple years ago I bought one of the Rigid Oscillating Edge/Belt Spindle Sanders. I agree with Dan, it's a good tool. I've seen one in Nick's shop also.
