Belt Sanders - Tips & more

In this video I'll show you how to get the most out of this incredibly versatile machine! Belt sanders...with a little practice, the right techniques, and when properly tuned, can make quick work of many tasks...including making surfaces flat, creating components that are flush & smooth...and even finesse the thinnest of veneers with supreme accuracy! Quality belts that are clean and fresh are super important for quality results. I also prefer graphite platen pads over the factory metal plate and cork. Links to these graphite pads and sanding belts below. Also, if you want to see how I make and use curved belt sander platens...check out the YT video, link below.
