A belt sander with no backing behind the belt works good for finish. The belt curves to the pipe.

that would be a pipe sander...correct?
i think Harbor Freight has a cheapy that i'm going to look at. most other pipe sanders i've found are pretty pricey ($500+). can't spend that much on a tool i may use on 2 or 3 projects that aren't even going to cost that much.

It is a total piece of junk. Out of the box it wouldnt hold a belt for over .1 seconds. I had to mod it and weld stiffeners on it to get it to work. I just use it to clean small areas such as somewhere I'm going to weld a bung on....it would take a month of Sundays to grind a weld down with it.
