the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

@silknfeathers4 жыл бұрын
Nice. Perhaps make the fence curve around at the end, to make use of the curve section of the belt? This way it can be used on internal curves when in the horizontal position. Shouldn't interfere with the use in the vertical position.

@AwardOnlyDK4 жыл бұрын
Amazing build - as always :) My first thought in regards to the vertical/horizontal function would be to have them both accessible with french cleats. Cutting out a section of the vertical cleat and running another one horizintally would allow you to simply 'flip' the setup on the wall. Cheers

Well done and inspiring! About corded tools and the issue you had with cord, I am sharing with you an idea from Marius Hornberger: I have cut my cords at about 20cm from the tool and installed powercon connectors. Now I have a short (2 m) and a long (5m) electrical cords and easily disconnect/reconnect most of my corded tools (such as belt sander, circular saw, jig saw, router, reciprocating saw, pole tree pruner...)

You rock man! Today I’ve created my jig largely based on your idea. I happen to have the same belt sander 😎. I’ve only changed the locking mechanism as I don’t like to have to do the threading thing with my power cord. I had a little toggle clamp lying around, so I put it on a small block next to the handle and let it clamp on the handle. very stable and very easy to setup or remove. Thanks a lot though. People like you inspire me every day!

It's a good thing I love building machines!

I just put mine in a 3 inch hobby vice. The sander is held by the handle, and the position can be adjusted to different positions. I don't usually use a platform to work off , but this is an easy improvise. I don't know why manufacturers do not make these jigs. They would be a welcomed accessory.

13:45 - If the thumbnail for this video hadn't included the wall mount, my head would have exploded at this instant. Jean, this design rocks, especially the (head-exploding) cleat and the two-way fence. I missed a chance to get an inexpensive belt sander a while back and you have me kicking myself a second time. Great job. My only suggestion is about power/switching. If you had a switched outlet and extension mounted to the jig, you could turn it on and off without reaching in for the trigger. However, this would add some bulk to the design, so it's not without cost. Certainly not parts I have laying around my garage, either. Stay healthy and safe.
@oompje2 жыл бұрын
I would have made the latch swivel 90° from how it now functions. That way you can put the beltsander in the holder and then put the latch over it without having to worry about the cable. Nice work and a very handy extention of the tool.
