  • Make the most of a small workshop and maximize the use of a normal handheld belt sander with this jig.
    I don't have space for large equipment so I made this jig as a simple substitute.

    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    This has to be the best conversion of a belt sander on you tube. Really cleaver design. Well done

  • @silknfeathers
    @silknfeathers 4 года назад +13

    Nice. Perhaps make the fence curve around at the end, to make use of the curve section of the belt? This way it can be used on internal curves when in the horizontal position. Shouldn't interfere with the use in the vertical position.

  • @paulcampbell6316
    @paulcampbell6316 Год назад

    I just put mine in a 3 inch hobby vice. The sander is held by the handle, and the position can be adjusted to different positions. I don't usually use a platform to work off , but this is an easy improvise.
    I don't know why manufacturers do not make these jigs. They would be a welcomed accessory.

    @AwardOnlyDK 4 года назад +12

    Amazing build - as always :)
    My first thought in regards to the vertical/horizontal function would be to have them both accessible with french cleats.
    Cutting out a section of the vertical cleat and running another one horizintally would allow you to simply 'flip' the setup on the wall.
    Cheers

    I would have made the latch swivel 90° from how it now functions. That way you can put the beltsander in the holder and then put the latch over it without having to worry about the cable.
    Nice work and a very handy extention of the tool.

    About corded tools and the issue you had with cord, I am sharing with you an idea from Marius Hornberger: I have cut my cords at about 20cm from the tool and installed powercon connectors. Now I have a short (2 m) and a long (5m) electrical cords and easily disconnect/reconnect most of my corded tools (such as belt sander, circular saw, jig saw, router, reciprocating saw, pole tree pruner...)
