I think you'll find that most knife makers use their belt sanders for just about everything and don't even own a disc sander. There are quite a few who swear by their disc sanders, just luv'em, but still do most of the work on the belt sander. Personally, I've had a couple of disc sanders and find them to be nearly worthless for me. I admit, I have not owned one of the high end units that Rob Frink produces and I'm sure if I did I would find something to do with it but replace my belt sander? Fat chance......
