These belt sanders are currently $500 for the skin if purchased from one of the Australian tool cartel outlets.
In comparison tests, it comes out as one of the best on the market. Hikoki tools can also be used with an AC adapter which could definitely come in handy for bigger jobs as cordless belt sanders can chew through batteries.
Description:
HiKOKI Multivolt gives its user AC power with DC freedom, now made even better by a level of convenience and superior technology you won't get from other tools. HiKOKI Multivolt gives a double voltage supply in one battery, meaning you simply snap it into place and power on regardless of whether you're using 36V or 18V tools.
5 - stage variable speed dial to match the sanding level to the applications
Auto Mode changes the speed depending on the load, lowering vibration and noise during no-load operation
Sanding belt tracking system allows the sand paper belt to protrude 1.5 - 3.0mm past the end of the pulleys to get tight against an edge
Efficient dust collection with easy to attach dust bag or vacuum swivel attachment to help keep the work space clean
