I saw the thread title and almost said McDonalds...

What is so much better about the Burr King, as compared to a belt sander? Is it just more robust?

X2 I have a JET and agree its a cheap piece of crap but what can I do with the BurrKing that I can't do with it?

You will know the moment you turn it on. It is like comparing a ferrarri to a pinto.

Good one Rodger! And so DANG true!! Once you've worked a piece on a Burr King machine -- there's just no turning back. LOL

Thanks for all the replies guys.

So far Greg's suggestion on the Multi-tool with like a Jet grinder seems to be the best alternative I have seen.
