4-in-1 Belt Sander

Grinding, sharpening, shaping, and sanding — this easy-to-build machine does it all.

This shop-made belt sander is a great solution for a wide variety of jobs working with metal and wood. The best feature of the belt sander is its simplicity. A 1/3-HP motor drives the 2” x 36” abrasive belt around two wheels. A built-in tracking adjustment and automatic tensioning keep the belt in line. And belt changes take about ten seconds.
