Just finished mine, thought I’d share. I’m very happy with it. $50 solid core door from a doctors office on Facebook Marketplace. Particularly happy with how the support leg came out, my first attempt at a real woodworking joint.

Nice setup! What brand files are those? Also is that the grace set of screwdrivers I see on the left?

Does anyone know if these could be ordered with the wire wheel on one side as opposed to the fine stone wheel? Might explain why the left shield doesn’t have the option for a tool rest.

Gotcha. And there’s the same hole on the left as well? The one on mine does not look like it was an afterthought. Wondering if maybe they had leftover wheel covers that were drilled and just put that on the one side even though it was supposed to not need it because the rests were a part of the...

Hi guys! New to the forum, this will be my first post. Looking to get my first belt sander for the garage, and found the above mentioned Dayton model for $50 on marketplace. Is this a good deal and would this be suitable for general use projects etc? Also input from anyone who owns one would be...
