Arjuna70...I have a couple of different belt sanders, and one disc sander. I do use both belt and disc, but for different types of work. My disc sander is used almost totally for rapid stock removal and coarse grit stock removal on both the blade and the handles. It does a really good job at this type of work. I have found that one single type of belt sander does not give me the complete package that I need, so I have more than just one. Collectively, the belt sanders give me better control and a more "finished" product than I am able to get with the disc sander, but I consider both to be necessary. I guess if I was forced to choose just one it would have to be the belt sander...but I'd sure miss that disc sander!
