This is my 2x48" belt sander I just made. The wheels I turned on the lathe from blanks I made from melted down aluminum scrap. The motor I got at an auction for $5.00. I bought the belts on Amazon. Everything else I had in stock.

I'd love to see more detail.:drool:
What specifically do you want to see?
Probably a closeup of how you put it together
I like this a lot Sir, simple, takes up no room. Have you got drawings please? I have a motor or two of different sizes, what size do you use?
I added a couple of photos
I have no drawings - I don't work from drawings. I saw a photo of one on the internet so I knew what it was supposed to look like and I had the motor and the belt for dimensions and I went from there. I usually tend to figure things out as I go along.Quote:
