[Rumpty]

I need a narrow belt sander and I'm looking at the Grizzly Belt Sander G1013

comments on this unit? Also I'm looking for competitor makes of a similar sander, suggestions?

Here's my review on it. I haven't changed my mind since either.

Just curious, have you thought of an alternative to a dedicated narrow belt sander: sanding bands used in a bandsaw. They come in a variety of abrasive grits and widths from 1/2 to 1" wide (and maybe others that I haven't seen). This assumes you have a bandsaw, but I would guess anyone who is getting a specialized tool like a narrow belt sander already has one.

Don't overlook the little $89 Delta (Mine came in BLACK, Keef) 31-080

1" belt/5" disc sander. They're versatile little workhorses.
