After changing the motor the old table wouldn't fit. I need a new design, so, I stole .... er ... I mean borrowed that great design by rwm. I like that design.

View attachment 134272 I now need to order a steel plate for the table ( I find the aluminum table gouges too easily).

I am honored that you borrowed my design. It looks great!

Thanks. It is such a nice design. I put another aluminum table on , but if it gives me any problems, I will change it to steel. I made the table to tilt, but in 30years I have only needed to tilt the table once. I leave it set square all the time.

If I have room I'm going to build a belt sander just haven't decided the size .

I have a 4 inch wide belt sander. It is too wide most of the time.I had a 1 inch wide belt sander, which is too narrow, and I have found the 2 inch wide belt sander to be the most useful size.
