Interesting belt sander

[Stuart in MN]

I don't know if anyone else watches Tubalcain's Youtube videos (he does a lot of machining and tool videos) but he just featured a pretty cool 2" x 72" belt sander.

It looks like a pretty handy tool, with some useful attachments.

That's an amazingly versatile design. I wonder what it would cost? He's only built 3 he said?

Needs some better skills in welding, that base and tube was a mess. He fumbles around machine shop for sure...

It is a clever cool design
He needs to sell plans if nothing else

Was this filmed with a water balloon?

He based it off of Jermey Schmidt's design.

Build video.

Plans and FAQ video.

He has several more videos on some of the accessories and tables he has built for it.

I used some of his ideas on the design for the one I am building.

I'm ashamed to be associated with people who would make comments like these.

These guys are putting themselves out there to pass along ideas and knowledge for free.

Constructive criticism is good, comments like these are waste of bandwidth.

Didn't someone on here build a belt grinder kinda similar to that one? I remember seeing a post about them somewhere.

Yes I recall that as well. I think he is building a v8 MG or something similar. I recall him having to custom cut the windshield.
