Does anyone own / use a small belt sander. I see that now smaller units are available that would be much more friendly than my wood destroying Craftsman. In a previous job I used a small air powered 1/2"'wide belt sander. That would be great for woodworking.

I like and use a Delta stationary 1" belt sander.
I find it very useful for corner rounding, beveling small items etc. It runs vertically with a flat table, but it has a removable vertical bracket that backs up the belt. Its also handy for sanding into inside corners. It's light (can pick up with one hand) but stays put for sanding pressures. I can keep it under the bench and pull up for a quick use without any effort!
There's some other odd choices for narrow belt sanders.
YOu can get small thin sanding belts attached to the pins that normally attach to a scroll saw... use the scroll saw table to support your work for fine sanding.
You can also get a small belt sander attachment for I think air sanders, something like this:

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

Look for reviews of the specific sander you're interested in. The air powered sander I bought from Harbor Freight years ago couldn't track a belt. As soon as you turned it on the belt walked and tore. It doubled as an air powered drill that works fine to wire brush rust but doesn't work well for drilling holes.Comment
