I have both of these tools and can see some advantages and disadvantages to each tool - I would just like some other input into the uses of these tools -- i.e.
would you use belt sander to 'rough out' sanding and use the orbital to do the final 'fine' sanding -- and so forth
Sometimes its handy in the first stage of levelling out panel glue-ups in the absence of a bigger drum sanding machine. Ok to round sharp edges roughly for outdoor projects as well. It has its uses, but I find I use my ROS more.
