Short version: Costa and QuickWood mostly solve different problems; many plants run both, with a wide-belt for calibration and a brush sander for finishing profiles.
Costa Levigatrici is an Italian manufacturer with a broad range of wide-belt calibrating and finishing sanders for wood and metal. Costa's strength is heavy industrial wide-belt lines for calibration and flat finishing at scale.
QuickWood focuses on the step wide belts cannot do: finishing shaped surfaces. Sealer sanding and denibbing of profiled doors, moldings and curved parts. QuickWood has built rotary brush sanding machines since 1975, with re-flappable hubs and replacement flap strips that keep consumable cost per part low. Machines ship from four locations worldwide and abrasives ship within 48 hours.
