While I was building my sheet metal brake, (I built , as a fill in project), a 2" X 42" belt sander. The sander uses an eccentric to tighten the belt making simple and quick belt changes. The tracking assembly design is based on the design used by Craftsman. It is a simple but effective tracking adjustment. The heavy duty table tilts to any angle up to 45 degrees. This sander was so easy to build, It was built in two weeks as a fill in project.
I have attached here a complete write up with photos and plans for this sander. As soon as the brake is finished , the first job for it will be to bend the covers for the motor and a door for the belt area. I have a power on/off switch with a paddle stop button that will mount in the covers.
