My belt sander's motor melted. I use it to make all the stiffeners. The motor gets to hot to touch and gradually slowed down until it had no power left. So I sent it to the garage sale and bought a new one. Sears 6" X 48" on sale for $199. But when I got home I found the leg damaged. So I called Sears and they refunded $20 bucks so I'll live with the bent leg. Works great. Powerful and cool.
