Hello to all. I would like to see your ideas / solutions of how people managed to build a belt sander facing my problem. I got an engine, and a good strong one, but all the rest is a problem to get here in Israel, and if can be found it will be unreasonable expensive (buying from overseas will also be very expensive, as shipping & facing our crazy tax system will damage the joy…). Pillow bearing can be found with a reasonable price (converted to $, they will be about 40 $ for a 3/4" piece), steel plate and tubes/bars also. Tension spring for example will be a problem, wheels and contact wheel with bearing complete are the main problem (so I'm thinking of making them of plywood). I carefully checked the wooden grinder at Michael Morris astonishing YouTube videos, and see a very simple and robust grinder, just as I need it to be, but I think that my motor is a bit too heavy for the belt sanders tension. So I will be happy if you can help here with some ideas as I'm quite stuck at the moment.
Thanks a lot in advance – Michael. :52::52::52::52::52:
