hi all - not sure where to post this
it is a project i would like to do, but also i am seeking input and advice b/c i am a beginner
here is a picture of a belt sander stand made by the mfg:
attached are the specs for the baseplate that the motor/sander are currently mounted on
also, there is a tool attachment tray:
the post is 26" and 5" square - I don't know the thickness - would you think 1/8 or 1/4 would be good?
the base looks like cast iron - i cant do that - plain plate could work, but is pretty plain - any thoughts? (would like wheels but also adjustable feet)
the tool tray has the same dimensions as the base and fits between the base and the mounting plate - what thickness steel would you make the tray out of? - and for the tray, just weld a frame and a base? how would you attach the mounting plate to the tray?
thanks for any thoughts or ideas
