We are currently seeing whether Ciaran's old belt sander is still operational - the belt still slips after cleaning everything, but a replacement belt may be the solution.
This tool will be a great addition for woodworking as well as other projects as it can also be used to grind metals. There are even advantages over stone-based grinders such as the larger surface and no chance of exploding stones. Belts may rip and go flying though, especially if they are installed in the wrong direction.
Stand
Spanish Maker Román Palma shared instructions for a nifty three-position stand in Make: magazine, see the article and video here!
With such a stand we could use a belt sander as a simple substitute for a planer (DE: Hobelmaschine) or bench grinder.
