Phantom Scroller Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I needed a belt sander I had every other type of sander but didn't want to buy an expensive one so go this one for under £50 and made a simple stand to drop it into. works perfectly. So here's some pics. Roly bobscroll, keefie and woodworker13403A 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Johnson Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hi Roly I have my belt sander hanging on a peg board. I really like your idea of storing it properly. Thank you for the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfmoonCT Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I have a real cheap belt/disc sander I never use.. I really should try and see if I can even find new discs for it. Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjR Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Good use . I am sure that you will love it. I made one years ago for a belt sander that I eventually totally wore out. If you try to make an adjustable table for a stop and then another adjustable foot-leg?? to change your working angles for your personal comfort; you will find many other ways to use it that you currently do not. My 6 by 48 Jet is on a Rockler GP stsand and not even bolted down, just setting on the countertop top that I had added. I use it almost exclusevily VERTICAL! I have a support made to keep the table at 90* , vet be easily removed Friction fit between bottom of table and sander base itself. You can use the roll end for nice dressing up of inside (concave) curves. I use it that way a lot. I made the belt guard on my jet so I can tip it down on the roll end for that very reason. I will be interested in what other modifications you think of that I have NOT! Keep us posted, Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the idea. Yes Ron it's not really for storing it's for using but it will stay there anyway after I've used it . Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really should try and see if I can even find new discs for it. I just bought some spare belts off Ebay they have all sizes on there for a few quid.
