| Making a belt sander.. |

| Rob.Wilson:
Do you have a specific use for the for building the machine or is it just for general linishing ? I have often thought about building a smaller bench mounted machine :dremel: Rob |

i'm building it on a floor stand, cause i will use it for notching pipes, deburring in general and sharpening stuff.. But mainly nothing tubes.. i build rollcages for friends amongst other things, racecars, rally and so on. And well you make a toolpost with a piece of pipe you use for the cage, and that way you get the profile.. then you clamp some pieces of metall to it in the correct angle and just press the end of the tube agains the profile and voila.. perfect notch. 60-80 grit is prefered. |

So this is how the smaller rollers for the platten came out. its 40 OD 7075-T6, this stuff cuts like if its stainless. But not with the heat.. Finish is.. well awsome. toolmarks from jaws though.. and sanding this was out of the question. Skateboard bearings here once more. this time i made the ID so i needed to tap the bearings in place with a plastic mallet.. better than shimming with papers like on the large idler. |
| NeoTech:
Mhm, well it kinda works anyway.. i need to make a tool rest, a backplate for the front part, and readress some tracking issues its having at the moment.. |

Hi, Great project. I would exchange the spring with a small motorcycle spring loaded shock-absorber. This should dampen the vibrations on the belt. |
