stagger3 asked:

I’m looking to get a bench sander, I see Sears has the belt and disc type, and I see some other brands (Home Depot) have a spindle type with different size spindles.

Which do you think is better for general woodworking?

    My husband says ideally you have to choose he would benefit from the beltdisc and the beltdisc but if you would go with the beltdisc but if you.
    The spindle but if you would go with the spindle type.
