Hi all, yet another question. If I have the disk sander do I really née the belt sander?

Not sure whether anyone but you can answer whether you need something. I had only a disc sander for about a year after I got my 520 and then acquired the the conical disc sander, the belt sander and a 6 inch drum sander. They all excel at different things and come in handy at different times.

By the way, it is nice to have multiple discs with different grits. Really speeds up the process of going through the grits.

When you 'need' either belt sander you will not need to ask others!;)

That said they are 'nice' to have!:)

With additional 'things' more things are possible.
