Delta discontinued the SA180!
I thought that was because they were planning on a new model. At least that was what my local dealer told me.
There isn't another 1x42 belt sander in town.
Sure there is.
Kalamazoo Industries. You won't find out at Home Depot, but you can find them at places like Product Tool Supply.
I think 1x42 belts will be around for a long time.

Well, I'm taking the drop! I went to the Kalamazoo website, and requested a quote on their basic 1"x42" belt sander, and the quote back was $230USD.. shipped. So, I'll save up and not spend any cash on drinking for the next few weeks, and order this and have it sent to me. Then, I'll follow the other link you guys put up to Lee Valley, and order some micron and leather belts for it. I'll practice doing convex edges on a couple cheap Cold Steel machetes I have, and see how I do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
