I got one of these sanders for Christmas from my boyfriend's brother. Wasn't exactly what I had asked for. But I guess its an opportunity to learn some new skills. Very informative video. Thank you!
Good point on having a 1" sander belt to sand inside round corners. I was thinking of getting a 6" wide but you have a good point to get a 1" wide. Thanks for the video
You can be a bit fairer than what you've been I've got two of them on the both Clarks 1 by 30 I use them for reprofiling knives sharpening knives I'm making knives and handle scales I think they're brilliant what are the best pieces of kit to come out get yourself two of them to do yourself a favour I've just bought another two so I don't have to keep swapping the belts I can go from one machine to another through the different grits I think the cheaper where you are anyway thumbs up
I bought one and received it today through Amazon. The round table needs to be set with a square and the screw in the back of the table needs to be adjusted and locked at 90%. I also noticed the belt support (@ the table, behind the belt) needed to have the slot holes machined slightly so it would line up sideways with the belt. It's a good machine and with the proper belt, can sharpen knives and drills. @@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman
@@robertboiteau1890hi. Why not? I’m thinking of buying one of these and I restore all tools so buffing and polishing along with a nice sand is important to me. The 3m conditioning belts I looked at on Amazon don’t look much different than d sandpaper 1x30. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
I don’t know where my secondary comment went, I guess I never hit send but all you need to is give it a jumpstart with your hand and take some off the pivot bolt and it will spin a 3m conditioning belt.
I just bought one. Thanks for the training.
Absolutely!!! You’ll love it!

Awesome! I use mine regularly! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I removed the metal guard behind the belt and it works perfectly for those tight spots! Thanks for watching!!

Awesome! I thought about a second one for a fine grit and one for roughing! Great call! Thanks for watching!
I would recommend using a square to set/check the angle on the table to belt.
That could work but not sure if it’s really necessary. Thanks for watching!

Good info!!! Thanks so much!!
How does one change the belt. Manual does not say.
It’s pretty easy. You have to remove the side then release the tension.

Awesome!!! Been a while! Thanks for stopping by and saying Hi!!!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman indeed it has been awhile, how has the family been?
Actually I just saw another video and you do have to give the belt a jumpstart with your hand to get it going, but it will work.
If you try to put a conditioning belt on it then good luck. It won’t work.
Pardon my ignorance but what is a conditioning belt? Are you able to post a link to one on Amazon or something so I can see one! Thanks!

Shave a little metal off the pivot bolt too.
