Lathe Belt Sander Attachment
This is how I attached a simple belt sander to my lathe .
My compound slide attaches with two set screws. It comes off quickly.

A simple aluminum cylinder with a threaded hole in the center provides
a secure point for attaching various accessories.

To keep sanding girt from getting all over the machine, thick cardboard
fits between the head and tail stock.

A base made from composite deck material bolts to the cross slide. Washers take up
space between the slide and top of the cardboard.
In retrospect, should have made the cylinder a bit taller.

The flex coupler (https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/...e-shaft-109143)
is then fit into the chuck, the sander down over the studs and snugged up.

The sander has a port for attaching a vacuum which is very effective. The chips
you see is all the escaped after removing the parting line flash from 4 sides of
those 47 aluminum castings. (That green text on the casting points to the sanded edges)
