DeWalt makes corded and cordless belt sanders. The DWP352VS is the corded standard with variable speed. The DCW220B brings cordless convenience to the 20V MAX platform for smaller jobs.
DeWalt 20V MAX Platform
The DCW220B runs on 20V MAX batteries. Belt sanders draw a lot of power, so use a 5.0Ah pack for reasonable runtime. The DWP352VS is corded (8A).

Frequently Asked Questions
Corded or cordless belt sander?
Corded. Belt sanders are power-hungry. The cordless DCW220B works for quick tasks, but the corded DWP352VS runs longer and hits harder. If you're stripping a door or leveling a tabletop, plug in.
What's the difference between 3x21 and 3x18 belts?
Belt length. 3x21 is the standard for corded belt sanders with more contact area. 3x18 is shorter, used on compact and cordless models. Both take 3-inch-wide belts, so grit options are identical.
