Belt grinder recommendation

[orezok]

I'm retired and am now just a home hobby welder/builder. I've been using an old Delta belt/disc sander for my steel work, but it's getting old and needs to be replaced. I've replaced the drive wheel twice due to overloading it on steel grinding and the bearings once due to wear. A sander is really not suitable for steel as the belt speed is too low.

I don't need a professional model at $500+ as it's only for hobby use. Finding used out here in the desert is a no chance situation.

Any recommendations?

Do you have a width of belt you need, if it is around 2" Dayton makes one for decent price

Look at this on eBay Dayton 2RYN6 Belt Grinder 1 2HP 12 24 5 2 5A 1x42 | eBay

OR eastwood
4 inch x 36 inch Belt w/ 6 inch Disc Sander 1366

2" will work for me and the Dayton is a possibility. The Eastwood is more of a woodworking "sanding" machine.
