Taming the beast.... belt sander stand

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Taming the beast.... belt sander standI've had this 4×24 Bosch belt sander for some 23 years and used it extensively when building my timber frame house.But when it comes to woodworking, it has proven to be a project wrecker, as it can remove a lot of material quickly, and if you let it rock or tilt it can easily put a divot in your project.So for some time, I've wanted to make a stand with a fence, but the box designs I've seen look pretty heavy and limit access to the controls. So I used 1×1 80/20 extrusions with aa Aluminum plate for the spine.The stand holds the sander securely to the base and plumb to the fence, and can be used in 3 different orientations. It has pins spaced to match the hole pattern in my downdraft outfeed table to keep it securely in place when in use.Used it today for the first time and all seemed to function well.Thanks for looking in,Matt
