Belt sander

[kazuma78]

Im looking to buy a belt sander that sits on a table or stand and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to get. I want something that wont bog down easily when I put plenty of pressure to it but not something insanely expensive either. Any suggestions on brand and type?

Craigslist used. you do not have to worry about bogging down- If you push that hard you will burn the wood. I have an old craftsman that I paid $50 for with a bunch of belts and a Ryobi oscillating belt that I really like. Both will burn the wood if you bear down. I have never stopped either.
