Belt Sander/Grinder ???

I have a small shop so made custom stand so I can roll outside and make mess on nice days.

Whoa! I really like the idea of converting it to a horizontal belt sander with table....very nice!
Is that extra black leg for a seat for long hours of sanding/grinding?

Thanks for sharing the photos!

Did you make the sander too? Or just the stand?

Just saw where you said Reeder Products. Nice unit. Nice stand.
 
Nice. I have a Reeder too. Let us know if you ever use it in the horizontal position. I haven't yet.
What kind of belts are you using?
 
From videos I've watched a belt grinder seams to be something I'd use for shaping parts and rough grinding lathe cutters. Most use a 4 wheel system which would use up a lot of valuable space in my shop. I see a few that use 2 wheels that would fit better on an already full bench, not taking up much more space than a conventional wheel grinder.

I don't plan on getting into knife making where I'd want the contact wheel to grind concave surfaces. Would one of this design limit me in any way?

Thanks
