I saw a project by RyanGi posted here and at another sight. This project has been posted on other sites too. I thought that’s a great sander. I wondered if I could make one that uses a 20” sanding loop that fits on a belt sander.
Here’s what I came up with.
The saw blade grove is what makes using the 1” x 20” belt possible.
I haven’t included photos of the top tension piece being cut from the top front of the sander on the band saw. I mentioned 30” sanding belts. That was a typo. The belt size is 1”x 20”. And no LBD I didn’t use a threaded insert. But I did practice some of that Plagiarism stuff.
Thanks for visiting and comments are always welcome.
At first I thought it would be a waste buying a belt when a roll of grit would be cheaper. Then I realized that the belt allows you to rotate past worn areas to fresh, no waste like an open ended strip would have. Anyway, duh!
I think your on to something Pottz. 👍 but I haven’t seen Ron’s yet. Just kidding Ron. 😏 This is like show me your bow sander day. Should be a National Holiday. That’s a good one Splinter. It’s almost as good as mine. 🫤
