This Drill Press Belt Sander project caught my eye in a recent issue of Wordsmith magazine, a long time favourite magazine of mine that I recently re-subscribed to. It seemed like it would come in handy (some day 🙄) and I wanted a bit of a project to work on. I have a drill press and I thought I had most of the materials hanging around the shop as I keep most odds and sods, just in case.
Well, the deeper I got into the build the more I was making a run to Home Depot or Lee Valley or ordering some needed part online. I didn’t keep accurate track of the costs but I’m guessing a minimum of $200 of wood, knobs, hole saw, bolts, steel rod, threaded rod not to mention the sandpaper belts.
Anyway, in the end, success! Project complete.
