Belt Sander
From CoMakingSpace Wiki
This is a wish list page, we do not have a belt sander yet!
This machine would 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.
