Hi. My name is Darek and in this video I'll show you how I made the BELT SANDER 2x48" from an Electric mower

The electric mower motor 1,5 hp 2800 rpm
Pallet carts wheels 50x50 mm

Yes, you can just go and by one and save a ton if time. But when you make one like this and it's so useful; there's just no better feeling in the world. He knows how to repair it if ever it needed to be fixed or how to improve it. Excellent work! I want one!

[@Enterprising_Aim]

I want to thank you for showing a build for a belt sander that /doesn't/ require being able to weld a million pieces. I don't own a welder, and watching how you made this made me feel that making a belt sander is a lot less complex than the others I've seen making them!

[@ericspratt3164]

Some of the coolest, most practical and well-built shop tools on youtube. Respect from midwest U.S.

[@Hellsong89]

Practical yes, but most well-built... meh. Least one thing is sure he has implemented "if you cant make it perfect, least make it adjustable" method. What comes to belt grinder, i really like Jeremy Schmidt design that has tilting mechanism and looots of adjustment, but then again that is kind stationary build with its own table, where this can be moved pretty easily.

[@bacstr]

Hellsong89, do you know how to respect?

[@Hellsong89]

Do you know about constructive criticism? Also i later checked his other builds and i see lot of potential there. His innovative and has engineering eye for things, but "well built" is not the word i would use, though practical yes.

[@bacstr]

Maybe my English is too bad to recognize the constructive part of your earlier comment. If so, sorry! But what I am reading is: The tool is not build well and Jeremy does much better, because x, y, z, ...

[@Hellsong89]

Its slapped together from different found parts, made to fit around there and there is not that much you can utilize it with, but least its mobile. Where are Jeremys version is fully adjustable, has plenty of accessories, but is not mobile due its requiring its own table. First one is practical, using parts found around him, but built quality is not the best and usability is limited. Another is versatile, using well designed and manufactured parts, so for build quality is way better. Both are using method of "if you cant make it perfect, least make it adjustable", though Jeremys version is more adjustable by the design.

[@andrewcampbell4995]

I wish companies made products like that still. Excellent craftsmanship and sturdy enough to last a lifetime I bet. Very good job sir.

[@larrywhalen127]

Absolutely one of THE better builds I've seen and the finished product looks better than some of the offerings by Rigid, Craftsman, or Milwaukee Tools. But not having a welder nor a lathe it is beyond the time I'd need to build it with the tools I do have so will have to stay with a ten inch sanding disc on my Craftsman grinder for now which, for me has done the job for the last forty years or so - same grinder since it has always been properly maintained and covered with a light cloth cover to keep dust out of the motor; plastic covers promote moisture which eventually promote rust. Thank you for sharing your expertise since it shows what can be done with a good amount of ingenuity and ability.

[@creak92]

Damn, that's the most overbuilt belt sander I've ever seen. Probably weights 25kg but it for sure will be more durable than the Top Gear Hilux. Great Job!

[@brandonromeril6916]

nothing is more durable then the Top Gear HIlux. lol

[@samba2782]

Overbuilt? Take a look at jeremy schmidts beltsander he built. Thats a badass machine.

Built out of repurposed parts, but I would take that over anything made by a major tool Corporation! Well done friend!!

I've watched a lot of these DIY power tool type videos over the years, But I think this must be the best thought out example to date.

[@Crewsy]

An electric lawnmower is a great source for a motor and they are so easy to find. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@MurcuryEntertainment]

No kidding, I just did a kijiji search (it's canadian craig's list) and found about 10 of them in my area for under 40 bucks.

[@Crewsy]

Adam I know Kijiji well. I am in Ontario. Perfect time to buy one with the snow on the ground.

[@Roots-Of-Knowledge]

i wonder really how well they work and if the not burning out after some time? what about electric hand type grass cutter engine? are they good to use as well? cheers

[@SchaumaMan]

I watched almost 10 videos on different belt grinders and I have to say your design is the most simple and versatile . Plus plans in the description. Awesome vid!

[@Lejackal]

I know I’m late to the party but I have to say I love this video, Taking a electric mower and turning it into something useful gets points right away, but the fact you took the time to make it right and neat with a motor hood and wire paths was also great!

[@BanjoShow]

My friend, I congratulate you on getting a new tool. As always, a very good job. I also have plans to create a grinder and this video helped me a lot.

[@aaaarrrgggghh]

can't you use a bench grinder??

To have a belt with no sand :(

[@mrjc4949]

Nice compact design. I have often wondered why the most popular designs required a 2x72 belt size. This 2x48 can do just about everything and would allow me to use/cut up my bigger 6x48 and 16x48 sanding belts if needed. Great job !!!

[@kermitfrog1897]

2 x 72 gives the belt a chance to cool off a little before it makes a full revolution

Definitely something I need as I want to make knives

[@caps741]

Just buy one. As cool as it is for him to make one, you need the proper saw blade for cutting metal, you need a welder and all the “scrap” metal used. Unless you already have a work shop, it’s much cheaper to buy one for $250 or less.

[@yoshyusmc]

@@caps741 I would say most knife makers in the market for a belt sander already have the necessary tools like me. So it is far less expensive to follow this build than buy a new one for $250.

[@caps741]

@@yoshyusmc maybe but the person I was commenting on was saying they were looking to get one, not replace one. Which implied that they did not already have a shop, with all the tools, and looking to replace one that no longer works. For them not already having that, spending $250 or less if you find one on sale or something, ends up being cheaper.

nie ostrz noży w ten sposób. jeżeli przez przypadek przytrzymasz ostrze za długo, przez co się rozgrzeje, możesz je łatwo rozchartować, mimo, że nie będzie widać, że jest rozgrzane do czerwoności ;) jesli uzywasz ostrza niechartowanego (tj.: "surowego"), to wtedy lepiej jest je maczać od czasu do czasu w oleju. ale ta techniaka tyczy się bardziej szlifowania i tworzenie krawędzi tnącej, oraz nadawanie szlifu, a nie ostrzenia ;) pozdro
