Plus, you might as well hurry and and get the job done before Kitty kills you in your sleep.
Kitty Kills would be an awesome name for a band...or a James Bond nemesis.

It would definitely be a girl group.
Or maybe a German techno band with a DJ named Helmut.

I was thinking Japanese Girl Group, to be specific.

I've been searching stores for a decent belt sander. Hardware stores only sell the toy versions. Lumber and hardware stores like Lowes and Home Depot sell the toy up to almost a tool versions. And tool stores don't sell woodworking tools anymore because they are a poor seller. Sheesh. I many have to order one on-line but if it breaks under warranty, I'm not sure I'd get a fair deal that way.

If it's an accredited dealer you shouldn't have a problem with ordering online, just like audio equip't. Did you decide on which belt sander you want to get?

Not yet. A knowledgeable friend of mine said I should get a Milwaukee. I was wanting one with a 4 inch belt. When I check on-line, it doesn't look like Milwaukee even makes sanders anymore. He said to avoid Black & Decker and DeWalt. I don't like Craftsman products, but Sears does have a 4 inch with 11 amp motor for $199 that has good reviews. But the reviews are very limited, almost like they were hand picked.

Milwaukee makes some good quality tools for sure. You're talking about the Milwaukee 4x24 Belt Sander #5936 which doesn't seem to be on M's website anymore so I guess it's no longer available.

I bought a big ass, HEAVY Craftsman for a specific project that never materialized. I would recommend it for heavy duty need, but man, it's the heaviest "hand" power tool I own by a long shot!

It's this one and now that I lift it up, it's not quite as heavy as I remember. Or, I've gotten stronger. Either way, I can recommend it, though I haven't exactly beat on mine. (Notice! Straight Line Alert!). I was going to be building a 12' indoor "suspension bridge" with it, and I really would have given it very heavy use on that one project. But, as mentioned above, it never happened.

I remember that two of the negatives for the Craftsman belt sanders was you couldn't hook a shop vac up to the bag catcher output, and it didn't come with a storage case.
