HOMEMADE BELTSANDER
The beltsander is also useful machine, therefore I built this staff. I bought 2 power orbital sanders, but they are only for surface pilishing. Also I have hand disk sander which damages flat surface. Hand belt sander is too strong to hold. Before desiging the machine, I checked what type of the replacement belt is most available, eventually, thus I designed 76x533mm type. Moter is from gavage cleaning machine.
After some trials and remaking, I completed the best unit as shown below. You can put this machin vertical way as well as horizontal way. Belt replacement is very easy.
Only problem is weak motor power, therefore I have to turn the belt when the morter starts running. But it is not serious as the machin works very well.
Please refer to the following photos.
Vertical setting.
Horizontal setting. Table angle is variable.
Motor from a gavage cleaning machine. I see the morter is covered by sawdust. I will put a cover to prevent sawdust penetration into the motor.
