Favorite belt sander

I have a variable speed KMG. If I had the cash, I would probably have it and a TW90 with the surface grinding fixture and build a water cooled horizontal platen for the KMG like the one that Brian H. made for his machine. Just from watching the TW90 video, the advantage that I see for a hack knifemaker like me from the surface grinding attachment over a cheap regular surface grinder is the built in sine plate feature for tapering tangs, blades, etc and the ability to eyeball the piece while you are grinding it. Of course, if I REALLY had the cash, I would probably also buy a power feed surface grinder anyway for heavy lifting like surface grinding damascus billets anyway............right after I bought that $6500 rolling mill that will also twist bars like Josh Smith has, the companion press, a CNC Bridgeport mill and a 60kg Say Mak hammer. Anyone have the winning Power Ball numbers for this week? LOL
