im ater a hand held belt sander, its a bit of a rip off at hss hire. but willing to pay for one. only need it for a day. cheers for any help

Always thought wirral hire were better than HSS, try them.

If its light duty work you could borrow mine but you would have to buy your own belts as I only have two and need them for a job. I have used it on floorboards and works ok, dust collector works reasonably (when you remember to attach it - cough, choke etc)
