Hey I looked around and it doesn't seem to be sold anywhere anymore. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0006577HI/ref=psdcmw_552882_t2_B0064BLIUU this has the exact same specs just a different brand and has decent reviews.

This might be an option. One of the Q&A responders said it is basically the same thing as the Craftsman

2x42" just isnt verry common in the EU imho if we are talking about something liket this https://www.amazon.com/Palmgren-Belt-bench-finishing-machine/dp/B0006577HI

what is more common over here are these types:
https://www.amazon.de/Einhell-Stand-Bandschleifer-Grobschleifscheibe-Schleifband-Scheibendurchmesser/dp/B00HT952FI

Which arent great as the motor is really weak and stalls out under medium pressure + the belt is at an awkward angle and the stone housing is in the way while grinding from the left.

There is also this type: https://www.amazon.de/Bandschleifer-Tellerschleifer-station%C3%A4ren-Ryobi-rbds4601g/dp/B073V5L71L/

Which often have the problem that one side is not accesible to the edge which makes using them awkward.

Lastly something like this: https://www.amazon.de/Metabo-601750000-BS-175-Kombi-Bandschleifmaschine/dp/B003U3U2SY/

Which still has the problem with the wheel housing but has longer belts and a stronger motor and the arm is adjustable. But as it is a rather uncommon size belts are rather expensive imho.
