1 HP 2" Belt Sander

I've been wanting a 2" belt sander for some time but most on the market are flimsy, low HP, and tracking is always needing to be adjusted. I found some 1 HP flange mount motors at https://www.surpluscenter.com for under $50 so I designed around them. I had some scrap 1/4" plate and 3" x 3/8" angle so this is what I ended up with.

This is the "mule" build that I gave to a friend who turned the wheels. (I am without a lathe right now and looking for one.) With The 1 HP motor, this sander can really remove metal fast.

I will post more detailed photos later of the sander I kept, and the stand that I built for it.
