6X48" Belt 12" Disc Sander

Here's a suggestion, Lowes and Home Depot sell a $20.00 bucket top vacuum, the Lowest one is a bit more powerful. I made my Thein Separated from the plastic bucket top and the bottom approximate 1/3 of a bucket, works pretty good. I think the hoses cost more than the unit (Firehouse Subs sold me two buckets with tops for 4 bucks total). If your interested I could send you a few pictures.

Very clever and very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent sander Carl I'm looking forward to seeing the improvements.

nice job, sander and vac system

Carl Holmgren... gracias por tus aportes, siempre he seguido tus vídeos soy un ebanista aficionado y cuando vi esta maquina alijadora me llamo la atención de hacerla la verdad que tenia poca idea como era el funcionamiento interno pero me encontré con la sorpresa de que subiste este vídeo te agradezco mucho CARL HOLMGREN por este aporte tan maravilloso. saludos y abrazos desde tulua colombia

Carl---When are you planning to make the plans available? I would like to build a combination sander based on your design. You have incorporated some very clever features for belt tension and tracking. Where did you find the bearings?

Good work as usual

Hu Carl, hope all us we'll. Thanks for the videos.

Hola Carl. Muchas gracias por tu Video. Cuando podemos disponer de los planos, al menos de la lijadora.
Quedo atento. Saludos.

We miss you Carl. Say hi to let us know you are ok please.

That's really cool. Grandpa!

Great video Carl!

what is the surface feet per minute of belt ?

thanks for sharing thats a nice looking and well designed machine the only thing i dont like is i like having a off switch that i can bump with my knee to turn off my stationary tools its easy i use those designer rocker switches they make for homes and paint the off half red ive also designed a wooden stop sign like many tools have t hat mounts on a pin in front of those previous mentioned Switches I am a retired Woodworker who has not had any personal injuries with Stationary Sanders but i did see a guy take off all his skin on fingers with a portable belt sander right down to bone i bandaged him up personally to get him to the hospital i also liked your dust extractor build i was most impressed with the quality of the sound of it running

a genius at work. brilliant
