A belt sander is a type of machine that is used for sanding wood, ply, and some other materials. It consists of two parallel cylindrical drums and a belt that is used for the purpose of sanding rough surfaces. The palm or orbital grip sander gives a smoother finishing. Some of the most popular names of belt sander that is available in today's market are Porter Cable, Makita, Ryobi, Grizzly and Bosch.
Makita is the most dominating name in the construction business. The 9404 8.8 AMP model is one of the most popular model that is offered by this company. The sander comes with an 8.8 amp motor and an auto tracking belt that automatically tracks the adjustments of the belts. The most unique feature of this model is the variable belt speed and a dust bag that collects all the dust coming out of the sander. Another mentionable sander is Porter Cable 352VD 8 amp model. It has a 3 by 21 inch belt housed and its all-metal structure that makes the device quite sturdy. Its most unique feature is the 360 adjustable top dust nozzle that lets you maneuver the dust bag to different places to collect the dust. The motor also makes very negligible noise compared to other belt sanders.

Bosch 1274DVS 6.6 Amp 3-Inch by 21-Inch Variable Speed In-Line Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag Overview
Well-executed design combined with solid, reliable performance make this Bosch belt sander a tool with noticeable performance advantages. The Bosch features a magnesium-and-plastic housing that's lightweight yet durable. The tool is nicely balanced, comfortable, and easy to operate--important features in a tool that's often used for long periods of time for removing large amounts of stock. The Bosch comes with a cast-aluminum platen--so there's none of the warping that affects stamped-steel platens--and it sands perfectly flat right out of the box. Like many of the sanders in this class, the motor on the 1274 is aligned with the belt edge to allow flush sanding into corners. The tool's only drawback is that visibility is limited when sanding into tight corners, but that's a small minus when weighed against all the pluses. The belt-changing system works well--we didn't suffer any spring pinches--and the tracking adjustment tracks the new belt quickly and keeps it in place. There's a variable-speed dial built right into the trigger switch, which makes adjusting the belt speed fast and convenient. Wood magazine tested 10 3-by-21-inch sanders and liked the 1274DVS best. We agree that it's a great tool.Bosch 1274DVS 6.6 Amp 3-Inch by 21-Inch Variable Speed In-Line Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag Specifications
