Building a Disc / Belt Sander Combo (Part 1)

[@thesawdustmaker.david.1182]

Nearly finished my belt /sander combo after viewing your excellent video. my drums are slightly larger diametre 4".The difficulty I have is that everything here is metric, my drills etc are imperial and as far as bearing recesses and holes for shafts, it's a case of "never the twain shall meet".Good quality tools, or indeed most tools we need are in short supply and limited availability.Thank you for your videos.

[@JustinDepew]

The sawdust maker. David. Great to hear you are building your own! Is it similar to this one or your own design?

[@gpworks]

I really like your circular saw with dust collection. Can you please post a video, or just give a idea and show us?

[@rsadek77]

Your videos are very fun to watch. You're very creative. I wish I had the know-how to do even the smallest of things that you do. You inspire me!

[@JustinDepew]

That's great to hear! Thanks for the comment.

[@kevingeaney7741]

Good job Justin, I really like your design and ingenuity.

[@JustinDepew]

Kevin Geaney thanks Kevin!

[@mcorrade]

thank you thank you thank you. This is by far the best and simplest instructions for building a belt sander. I've already built a vertical belt sander and disk sander but wanted to make one of these without the disk. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to copy your design because its the best!!!!!!

[@JustinDepew]

+mcorrade glad I could help! Build away!

[@adamonline45]

Looks good! I should do my disc mount properly, like you did... I went with a double thickness of melamine, but it wobbles a bit on the shaft... Looking forward to part two!

[@JustinDepew]

If I learned one thing it's that connecting things to shafts is difficult, and I'm better off buying the parts instead of making them.

[@cri8tor]

Now that you have a new shop, have you considered adding a cheap Harbor Freight MIG welder and remaking some of the parts for your sander? You could also use delrin to make new pulleys. Just a thought.

[@djAnakin]

I like this design. Might use it when i build mine. Bookmarked!

[@دحامالدحامي]

Thank you for this wonderful achievement. You have provided us with your information. It is possible to include the map in measurements so that we can work one like it

[@mooman4836]

nice build I am going to try a 3 speed direct drive blower motor to speed up the belt or slow it down..

[@prestonbahr989]

Preston Justin, looking forward to watching you finish your sander. You are a very innovative woodworker. Will you have plans available for sale? Also, I would be very interested in seeing how you built your crosscut sled, it looks pretty slick. Thank you

[@JustinDepew]

Yes I'll have plans when it's finished. I may make a video in the future on the cross cut sled. Thanks for watching!

[@paulgendron8416]

I can't find the exploded view either. Look like a great project. I can't wait to start it.

[@JustinDepew]

Paul Gendron there are no dimensions or instructions, that's why it's free. You have to pull the dimensions yourself using the tape measure tool in Sketchup.

[@paulgendron8416]

Thanks Justin for your response. I was poking around in SketchUp, calling myself a novice would be a compliment, and found dimension tool. It's pretty neat. So I'll get the dims from there. Thanks again for your reply. When the weather warms up a bit I'll start the build. Regards, Paul

[@Moogentro]

good idea taping the hinge.

[@ksp1278]

Very, very nice! Great work! Thanks for posting.

[@JustinDepew]

Thanks for watching!

[@philwalker4821]

Great work and design. Thanks for sharing

[@michaelflynn6178]

Just found your channel Good honest woodworking mistakes an all Thanks you should have more subs

[@JustinDepew]

Appreciate it Michael!

[@OminousCamaroSS]

Why not make marks for varying degrees instead of a stop on the belt sander?

[@marcusviniciusbernardo6341]

What is it and where you bought the piece in 5:35? Thanks...

[@JustinDepew]

Marcus Vinicius Bernardo it is a v-belt pulley and I got it from ebay.

[@marcusviniciusbernardo6341]

Thank you so much.

[@steampunk217]

How many watts is the Electric motor?

[@denethquotes2]

Can you send the measure ments of thiss sander

[@tlangremkimitlangi1080]

Very good

[@paulgendron8416]

I found the 3D sketch up but I can't find the dimensions for the parts. Am I missing something?

[@forgemodeling636]

mate the plans is not available did you still have them ????

[@davidbrooks311]

You sir are a genious, thanks for sharing with us.I love your channel, keep up the good work, looking forward to new projects.

[@JustinDepew]

David Brooks thanks David! Much appreciated!

[@davidbrooks311]

Oh yeah, I forgot and you are a mechanic too, cool. I am a retired Auto Tech worked on computer systems on American made vehicles and I still tinker around with my vehicles but everything has changed so much since I retired in 2003.

[@colinmcleod2605]

Could you have used your drill press as a lathe or your chuck couldn't fit the shaft?

[@JustinDepew]

It wouldn't fit the 1/2 inch shaft. I don't think it would have had enough speed and power to be an effective lathe either.

[@giannicarpineti5189]

Good evening, I ask if you can have the measures of the details to build Belt sander combo, I write from Italy, I like the combo and I would farlo..attendo an answer, thanks and greetings .

[@JustinDepew]

Hi, I will eventually put the Sketchup file on my website for download so you can have all of the measurements. Please check back later. Thanks!

[@giannicarpineti5189]

Thanks, you're very kind ... I look forward to hearing from you ... good evening.

[@giannicarpineti5189]

hello, I have not seen anything yet, I'm not an expert in these things, you want me to write you my mail ??

[@JustinDepew]

They are not finished yet. When they are done I will upload them.

[@giannicarpineti5189]

ok, I'm sorry !! As I said I am not an expert .. thanks, I will wait, when ariva the system alerts me, good day ...

[@thesawdustmaker.david.1182]

Hello Justin.Actually it's a copy of your design but with my dimensions and I didn't use ply as the ply that is available whilst not being expensive is of low quality so I used what timber I had available, albeit very hard wood.

[@datadev1]

Will you be making the plans available?

[@JustinDepew]

Yes, eventually. They are not done yet.

[@simonmaton]

love your work :-) One small comment, when using a hacksaw, use two hands.

[@innesspirrie7489]

What make is your drill press

[@JustinDepew]

Craftsman 12"

[@electricos3]

es usted un experto mi amigo

[@JessVideoDude]

Awesome build! Thanks for sharing :)

[@JustinDepew]

Thanks for watching!

[@JessVideoDude]

Have you done a cross cut sled build video? I don't have a table saw, but I do have a circular saw and I like how your sled works, thx.

[@JustinDepew]

+JessVideoDude I don't have a video. Check out some of the other sled videos on KZbin, that's how I got the idea to build mine.

[@jacksonsheikh659]

Good work mate!!

[@JustinDepew]

+Jackson Sheikh thanks!!

[@NatSatFat]

Hi justin Liked your tool what you call "cross cut sled" (checked your vids, you have no vids to cover this at all?) when I seearched KZbin for "cross cut sled" it only give vids for cross cut sleds for TABLE saw. yours looks very practical and obviously works! (just like you I have no table saw), Would appreciate it (as would others) if you made a vid (+ plans/measures) to make this tool. This would be really cool! as I don't plan to get a table saw soon.

[@JustinDepew]

Bryn Noble there are several videos out there already. Search for "circular saw cross cut jig"

[@NatSatFat]

oh, another thing? how wide is your work table? I would say about 36inches???

[@JustinDepew]

Bryn Noble yes it is 36 inches

[@yngwyswoodworks]

what is the rpm of your motor? is it ok if i use a 1/2hp induction motor with 1680 rpm?

[@JustinDepew]

alvinto22 mine is 1750rpm. 1680 would work just fine.

[@yngwyswoodworks]

Justin Depew thanks a lot.. im planning to build this one also.. great design thanks for sharing.. 😊

[@JustinDepew]

alvinto22 do send a picture when you're done!

[@Павел1-й2с]

👍👍👍

[@kelseydepew]

Excellent work :) .... now make ME things!

[@Curmudgeonhero]

Nice! What make and model is your drill press and did it come with the laser?

[@JustinDepew]

William York Its a craftsman 12" drill press, and yes it came with a laser but I rarely use it.

[@ivanildoivinha1113]

hello good evening, it will be that you have to pass me the measurements of how fopi done everything watch the videos most needed of the measurements if you can

[@JustinDepew]

You can find measurements in the sketchup file on my website

[@phillipa.rudolph7737]

quite inventive with limited tools.

[@JustinDepew]

+Phillip A. Rudolph thanks Phillip!

[@ckaygur]

Congratulations on your hands health
