How big a bit of metal?

Personally I'd use an angle grinder for removing metal.

A belt sander is just another grinder.

It'll work. Shop for the correct belt material (the abrasive) as there
are different ones, and some work far better than others for certain jobs.

Half by three inches!

Gonna be a looooong day with a Dynafile!
