    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.
