My go sander is my Dremel. Between the various sanding and buffing drum attachments i'm fairly well set for fine, delicate sanding. For the larger stuff I still find that a combination of metal rasp (for medium grain work with no tearing of fibers) and various grit adhesive sanding disks-folded sideways into half-moons for manual work-is still my go-to method. For anything larger and coarser than 100 grit or so i'm probably looking at a small hand planer.
A Black & Decker mouse sander is what I've got and it works great. But, I still like to do the fine sanding by hand .
Are you looking for a hand sander or a belt sander?
I have this one: just get some 120 grit belts: http://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-x-36-inch-belt-6-inch-disc-sand...
Most of the HF tools aren't terribly durable, but I use mine for light duty work...
That is a good sander. I have used this 21" belt sander from HF for $30

Have had it over ten years. I am amazed at how well it works and how long it lasted. I made a cradle to fit the back so I can clamp it upside down to make a very inexpensive bench sander.
I got this same sander ,, read the reviews and follow the set up the guy recommends.It is reasonably small compact,, and just does a terrific job ! Was afraid to try this , but put a spacer in the back of last build for decoration,, Routed it out ,,left the round ends ,, on the flat sander ,, wicky,, wicky and the insert were round !
