Story of my life.

My 1x42 inch bench belt sander is the most used tool in my shop.

You could also crimp with a 45 Auto crimping die.

After longing for a good belt sander for many years, I bit the bullet and bought the Shop Fox 2x72, 1 HP model. Like you, I use it almost daily for deburring, grinding and whatever. The quick-change belts allow rapid grit selection and it runs very stably and smoothly. A joy to use.

Dang. Didn't think of that. Good idea.
