Quick and Easy Belt Sander Jig From Scraps
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2017
- Bill made a simple and handy jig for the workshop. This one holds a portable belt sander and transforms it into a stationary edge sanding station. The project started off with an old Craftsman 3" belt sander and some leftover scraps. With a little imagination and some exact approximations, we're left with a very, very useful way to transform an existing power tool.

Before buying this sander I would use a rotary sander ruclips.net/user/postUgkx3Pc2vLXfcgM5oIpF1iYcIWyFhHUC-G6v and didn't see the need for a belt sander. Boy was I wrong. this belt sander does the job quickly and gives a professional finish to the wood work.
Nice! Simple and straightforward approach (to the build) and presentation. Thanks.
I have this same exact sander and know all about the meandering it likes to do when I'm sanding. I need this jig in my life ASAP
Super handy. I have two belt sanders and one will go into this service. Thanks for a great post.
Thanks very much. I have the same ol' Craftsman 3" belt sander and this will turn a seldom used tool into a much more productive one.
Nice jig. I’m going to make one, but mine is going to have a piece on the bottom of the main platform that will be held in my vise.
Great video, very simple and too the point. Nice presentation style with a little humor. Nice work!
Love this. The classic sander looks like my Dads old unit.
Nice job, great ideas there.
Good tutorial! Lots of information and good explanations.
You did a super job! I really like how you explained everything so well. Great deal on the scroll saw too! You have motivated me to get mine out and also to make this jig. I was going to buy the belt/disc sander from Harbor Freight, but I'd rather save cash and do it your way now.
Thank you once again!

Really great job!
Very nice jig, As I just bought a new Rigid belt sander, and my old one will be a new jig
You are a GENIUS what a beautiful idea thanks for sharing
That was a great idea, I will do this to my belt sander too. Nice watch, btw.
What a good video, well explained and interesting. I just acquired a secondhand belt sander and scroll saw as my first powertools. My sander is lumpy, irregular and full of vent holes though, so a jig will be challenging, but this video gave me some good ideas. Thanks !
A very good investment in the scroll saw.
good video fyi i did Woodworking Professionally for 25 years and as my hobby for more than 35 years you should build a safe rt fence on the front area of tht belt sanding jig one of the nastiest injuries ive personall y seen was a co worker had a belt sander suck in his fingers and sand off the skin right to his bones as luck would have it that paticular day i was the only one with a First Aid kit and i bandaged him up for a hospital trip Doctors spent months grafting shin to his fingers and i know it was pretty painful if you fabricate a guard over that front wheel i would bet that could prevent that from happening in my Co workers case he was holding the Beltsander in his hands when it slipped and caught hi fingers like every Woodworking injury everyone a;ways says it happened so quickly they couldn’t believe at first it did I always considered myself to be pretty lucky that at 56 years of age i have not suffered any hand injuries that a couple of bandaids couldn’t fix up to allow me to heal
Nice job brother!!!
Looks like you're wearing a Seiko SKX173. That plus a nice woodworking video and I will subscribe!
I have the same sander, I will be moking one. Thanks.
Any excuse to use the angle grinder is a good one. It’s my favorite tool I own.
Starting to be mine as well, funny as the first time I used it I got so scared by the sudden torque I didn't dare touch it anymore and used a jigsaw to cut out the piece of metal I was using instead.
Really appreciated this video and have already viewed it a number of times. Have a belt sander that looks just like yours, and have been wanting to build this kind of jig.
Was also hoping to see how it would be used to sharpen lathe tools and chisels (as mentioned at end of video), but could not find that follow up video.
Thank-you!
Found it! Thanks again!
I don’t know if I ever subscribed to a channel after 1 video. My kinda dude--it doesn’t always have to be exotic design and fine finish. Sometimes it just needs to serve a function. Full disclosure--I subscribed to Triple L Rustic Designs after 1 view (spoiler: Zoe does woodworking in yoga pants. She does not skip leg day).
You did a great job explaining. Definitely subscribe to your Channel
Nice job.
Outlaw beltsander racing. Big money in that... Did the scroll saw struggle with that thickness of wood
Move your tumb further away, when the bit slips off the screw it ends up in your tumb. It happens to me once and this is once too many. Sorry for my bad writing. BTW great idea with the sander.
Is it a true 90° angle?
How do you adjust it to make a true 90° ?
Great video thanks
Love it
Thanks. Great idea. You’re funny!
great video
I hate it when my belt sander meanders and chases small animals in the workshop. Thank you! The small animals are safe once more.
I like the watch, is that an SKX007
How do you change belts. Do we need to disassemble the whole thing
Have you figured out what to do with the dust blowing at you from that port?
I actually did build a cyclone dust collector in another video. I'd have to construct some sort of shield/collector to be able to hook it up to this particular jig. Usually I've got doors open on opposite sides of the workshop and a large, high CFM fan blowing to try and keep small particulates in the air to a minimum when making sawdust.
Gracias
a way to move the jig up and down so you can use the entire belt?
Kinda goofy but if you don't have room for an edge sander? Have fun!
There’s a joke in here somewhere about a jigsaw cutting the parts for this jig. Like it.
Well we all know that the jigsaw the jig. Jig-saw. I expect I needed to pop that in there for anyone who doesn't get it. There has to be a better one than that one. Come on people, put your thinking caps on.
👍🏾 subed
I just put mine in a vise.
Good vid though.
what is the cost of this machine.
Belt sanders are fairly inexpensive new, $40 and up. I got mine at an auction for $4. Other places to look for second-hand ones are garage sales and thrift stores.
Any belt sander that is "QUIET" ??? that anyone can recommend I really don't want to wear muffs just to sand a burr out of something ..some models/brands just make Way Too much Racket ….
great, but now you have to get a cat to chase small creatures.
Dust distributor.
This is not quick and easy.
Quick and easy belt sander jig but he says "This cost me a few hours of work." nothing about this project looked quick or easy other than "slathering on some wood glue." To the novice woodworker, this is more like brain surgery while piloting a rocket in space. good video otherwise.
Sehr gute Lösung. Man kann damit die volle Höhe des schleifers ausnutzen. Die meisten sind ja nur 75mm hoch!👍👍😄🇩🇪
