Free Belt Sander Modifications and Jigs plans - The typical Belt Sander like Bench Grinders are nearly always fitted with an inadequate Stop/Rest particularly if used for heavy use in the Vertical Mode and when used for Tool Sharpening. I find that the Belt Sander is a versatile machine for not only the obvious use of Sanding and Shaping Wood but I use it for shaping all forms of Metal, Plastics as well as for Sharpening various Tools and Twist Drills. All these operations I can accommodate on my basic Belt Sander simply by upgrading the the main rest and adding an adjustable rest plus a support angle for the Drill Sharpening Jig as detailed below.
