I never could resist a new machinery gadget and I found an online store here in OZ that has this flatbed linisher for $85AU. Adjusted everything after assembling it, re-engineered a number of bits to make the table more rigid and its up and going as a more or less useful gadget while working on my kitchen.

Yes, table belt sanders are a great tool. We have a big one at work that also has a disc sander on the side. We even have a teeny belt sander with a 1" belt.
