it looks like it's set up to run off of one motor. better keep track of all your body parts when working on that contraption. $70 if it works sounds like a really fair price.

Set up so it uses one motor and you swap belts on and off depending on what you want to use.
Not a bad idea if you are limited on space and funds.

Not a bad deal for the belt disc sander alone much less you get the jointer too

And Bob is correct.......one motor, double end shaft, and you drop off a belt and use the other to switch machine operations. A slightly enhanced picture shows the pulley on the other end of that motor.

Did you buy it??

No I did not. I did find a craftsman 113.22521 belt disc sander for $40 :rocker: Just needs a motor, which I have a candidate sitting at my grandmothers house. It was off a old Sear table saw that my grandfather cobbled together. Thinking it was a sears 3/4 HP 3450 RPM.... not sure.

Sanders usually require a 1725 RPM motor, but might be able to use a 3450 motor with a lot smaller drive pulley.

Jim is right. Be careful with that. Not sure what you are doing, but my guess is you aren't going to need that much horse power either. You should be able to turn up another motor without too much difficulty.

Far be it from me to argue with the instructions. It does appear you are correct. I pulled up instructions for an earlier model and it said 1/2 HP, 3450 rpm. I am fairly certain the AMT version of the sander was 1725 rpm but I could be wrong. In the end it's all about the pulley ratios. I suppose the higher rpm would make it less likely to 'stall' if the aggregate really bit into the stock. Learn something new everyday.

I know this is an old post but I have a similar question. I found a belt sander like this one, but with no table for the disc sander side (which I could fab up something). The problem is two fold concerning the bushing/bearings, on the end with driven drum wheel,1. there is a bit of play in the outside bushing and 2. the idler drum seems to be about an 1/8" out of round. Is this normal??? I looked to see if it was dropped or a bent shaft, but no. The whole drum moves the same when it is spun and appears to be machined that way. I have my chance to pick it up for 50.00, but can I get a replacement drum?? or are they all this way?
Thanks.

Definitely not normal. If it's truly 1/8" out of round, it would be pretty ugly to use, belt wouldn't track properly, vibration. Put a dial indicator on the drum and the shaft. Either the shaft is bent or the bearing worn or the drum has a problem.

As to replacement parts on old machines, without the manufacturer/brand/model number and a photo you're asking an impossible question. FWIW, replacement parts for older machines usually not available or only at deal-breaker prices.

I agree and when investigating more I found this. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/495053/Craftsman-351-226061.html
Do you know what an Oscillating Belt 12" Disc SANDER is?? Is this what I have found?? Does the belt really oscillate??

"To swing back and forth in an uninterrupted motion."
Maybe they're referring to the belt being able to tilt from horizontal to vertical?
