For the last nine years I have limited my procurement of 4x24 belt sanders to used ones. They were usually some model of a Porter Cable sander. PC sanders are heavier sanders than the Milwaukee belt sanders I preferred back in the day. Milwaukee stopped making them and I found that used ones are all crapped up so I decided to try a Makita 4x24 sander, brand spanking new. It comes with a very long cord.
