Same for me.

120 grit on the belt and 80 on the disk.

Just remember, NEVER use the same belt and disk on both aluminum and steel! If you do, then you will push steel bits into the aluminum, which will cause corrosion.

Also, DO NOT use a bench grinder on aluminum!

I have this one, a gift. Looks like it's basically the same....I can't tell it's not the best in the world, but seems to work fine.

...all of the $30-200 one's seem to be struck (or copied) from about the same mold, I think.

I see that Menards has their Masterforce 6" belt/9" disc sander on sale for $180 intil mid December. I've come to respect Masterforce as great quality, but is this size sander way overkill for RV building? Also, on what other non-RV projects could this big sander come in handy?

The 1" Delta with the 5" wheel is a great tool and relatively cheap. All I ever needed and I use it all the time for other things. Spend the extra money on other useful tools.
