Hey guys, how's it going I was on Facebook Marketplace and this popped up and this gentleman uh had a couple of belt Sanders out for free and I said sure I'll take it. What was the backstory on it I found it on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist don't remember exactly but it was free to me and it's been sitting in the closet for four years and now it's fre to never got to it. It's time for it to come out of the closet all right. time for its next home.

All right guys, let's go bring it back to the shop and uh, bring it on the operating table and see what we can do with it. All right guys, we're back at the office and got a little bit better chance to take a peek at it. The only thing I did just uh get ahead was I pushed this head down here oh there's a joke and clamped it into place and measured around there and I came up roughly like 45 Ines and so I went on eBay trying to find a piece of sandpaper or sanding belt I should say and the closest thing I came up with was uh 44 in so we're going to go try that whether it's correct or not I don't know no I don't even know if that's the correct orientation. seems like uh it may have had issues with the motor cuz it's I think that's the original motor that was on it and then this one somebody put on here and it's just kind of slopped on and you could tell.

like the The pulley was adapted to it. It's got set screw marks from something else. I don't know what was here. this looks like I don't know.

Maybe a cover. It seems kind of beefy for a cover. Uh, this is the dry pulley down here. That one seems okay.

an idler that's goosing. that one's goosing. that's a pickup reel. That one's a tad noisy and this one doesn't turn at all.

I don't know what the correct orientation of how this is supposed to be like I said I I just kind of. I took this, pushed it right about on a 45, clamped it, and then took a tape measure, went around it came up with 45 in and again the belt is 44. So I think let's go get one of those sandpaper pieces out there, see if we can kind of lay it around there and get ourselves a better idea. I really don't know what's happening up here.

It looks like it was having a problem. Maybe tracking is my guess for all that. Okay, it actually cut right through it in some places then. I Also see like they try to running the belt, maybe through here.

All right. let's go get a piece of sandpaper, laid it on there, see if we can figure it out. clamp that top one down if you can. Okay, I'm it all right I would think that one does roll something like that, so that would be my guess right there.

It's um, hopefully it fits good. That looks like to me what it should I'm not quite. I I Don't quite know what the role of the other rollers would be. You can see it already, doesn't.

Let's go pull on down on it. So tracking would be. these here should be able to pitch it and get it to tweak a little bit. I Wonder if we could take? Maybe we'll take that pulley off.

We'll hook a drill to it. use the drill to kind of spin it like I said. Kind of. concentrate on getting the Belt part of it to work first.

Maybe we'll check on the motor. Generally what they do, they have a curve to them. The curve wants to make it so it maintains tracking and if it shows up on camera, it's got a bit of a curve to it and so so when the belt starts to go walk off, the belt size starts changing from side to side. I'm going to apply that knowledge wise very well.

Uh, it always wants to ride on the crown of the belt if it starts to go fall off of that. Now the belt gets pitched where it gets drawn back on again. that make sense. Get that Dr Think's kind of rocking around too I Was wondering why I flip it up.

It's got a foot there and a foot there. I'm going to pop one of them off and we'll throw it there just so it's kind of sitting even. It's like they adapted a collar to it to make it fit. There's another pulley here.

where'd it go right there? See anything sloppy? So I don't know if that that came with it or again it was a machine shop that it was in. Hopefully you get a drill to fit up over this I think it's a/ inch yank and then we can spin it. That's a enough. How about we shove a piece of hose on there, cut it, put that in the other end of the hose and then put that in a drill.

Plus it'll give us a little bit of a flexibility see how that works about that much? Think it'll fit. Good time to check. right Here you go and that, or you throw some hose Clan clamps on it. You just want to wing it.

Let's do a proof of concept first. let me get you backed up a little bit. Guess no, Maybe there you go. Can we uh, play with that tracking? So these two I'm going to try to get it off this edge up here so we want let's go loosen it up.

let's go play with it while it's running. Probably the wrong way that's getting wor you want try to get so it just starts coming off not touching right now. let's go kick it up in the gear. Is that that easy? I expect it to put more of a fight than that.

What I'm looking at is that edge right there? H So what is the purpose of that? like? what would that do you see? what? I can see? Well, it doesn't turn. Maybe it's supposed to. There you go. Do it.

Be up against the belt, give it a little bit of support I think whoever ran it through there was making a maybe making a big mistake while that did that. the bottom I can see same thing. No, it's got the metal plate in front of it so what would that would be used for? Let's um, see if this is just kind of put on there wrong. Maybe that's supposed to turn I would think it would right you? just? you would wear flat spots in it if you tried.

you know, putting material on it and working and sanding stuff. All right. let's go pop that off of there. All right.

So wonder if it's just kind of missing some kind of cuz there is a there's a flat spot worn in it, slides out the way. Okay, yeah, so that's I don't know if that's supposed to have a bearing in it or not or it's just supposed to spin on that shaft and it was too tight. Looks like a bushing doesn't it the the inner part. I'm going to go look quick underneath there and I wonder if that's just not.

It just wasn't supposed to be cranked down all the way or it's missing a spacer. You go take a peek on the scope. Well, you definitely think it would have had. Yeah, cuz that's that's.

running at a fairly high speed. looking at the edge of it there. we'll put it without the you know what? Also I see too. It has one side has a shoulder on it, the other side is flush.

Maybe it was on backwards? Let's go without the metal plate. Let's just go throw the washer in the U Wing that on it and see if it binds up when it's tightened all the way up. I'm sure we could shim it out with something, but yeah, maybe that was what it was. It was on backwards and it had no air gap.

Let's go see if we can see if that plays well with the metal back on. Yeah, all right, let's some. I'm going to go take them and Lube them up cuz I think it's kind of like, um, kind a a band saw it's got the little guides alongside the the metal belt. They really don't do anything all the time.

it's just when you push against them. so I don't think this is supposed to spin all the time. when thing's running just when you you Le against it, put a little too much pressure on it I'm going to go clean them up. We'll throw some on them so they're not making that Goosen sound.

Got a little WD get the Schmutz off of it. What I like about these things is uh when you're working with metal actually the longer the belt the kind of better it is. What I find is the uh cooling. A lot of times the Bel get so hot and you'll be sanding something in the middle.

Wants to go cook. This is like sewing machine oil really thin. try that. we want that shoulder out right? Yeah o that's nice.

So the long kind of the longer the belt it has time to cool off as you if you Mark the Spot on the belt and it went around time it comes back. it has a little bit of time to cool off and it doesn't overheat the the project as much much so we want to spin that around and put our nut wing nut back on. Still don't know about the the bottom one how that. how would we incorporate that bottom one to do the same with that I wonder if it's meant you could go take that piece of metal off the front of it? then it would do something but it's fixed.

It doesn't have adjustment like this one has adjustment on how close it can be to the Belt You know this one swings. You look at the bottom one now. looks like it's just fixed there. There's no place for it to uh, is it keyed? No.

that's where they keep the spare. Maybe that's exactly what it is I Don't know. Let's um, go show. shoot some lube on that one.

see if we can do without taking it off, see if it'll draw it in cuz this one definitely. that one's going to work all the time. Good and that one. I'm not going to worry about this this like it's probably got some bearings built into it.

I would think so. wonder about this one. Just go shoot some little bit her so you can make any. can we get in the other side then L it I like the oil though.

that might have a um, a seal on the side of it. Go drown it, huh? Let's go put her back together. spin it with the drill one more time and then we we start looking into the uh, the motor part of things. It definitely looks like it had a side cover on it too.

by the these little standoffs that are here a lot of times. I Do see those kind of go away because if you want to go change the belt, you'd have to take that off every time. How about now when try grinding something, let's go find a piece of metal to shove against it. actually.

first, let's get that roller up on it. Give her just enough. I'm going to go tighten that down so it locks. it doesn't want to slide, just snaps right off.

It's pretty tight. the. um, bend it here. The sheet B on the side is touching it.

I'm going to tweak that tracking a little bit more. I'm going to try to get a little further this way. All right we want. if we want the belt to go that way.

you want it to tilt it that way a little. so we want to go back off on this side. No, and tighten on this one right? All right Now let's go get a piece of metal. We'll rub it against it and just make sure that the tracking stays where it should.

How about a piece of that? So the bottom pulley you. we put a load on it get you in the shot there. So so our bottom pulley it's slipping I don't know if it's got a breake in it. Get the belt back off.

I Know it's got a key that locks it onto the shaft out. Zoom You back out. Yeah, it does right there. good.

Hopefully there's no cracks or anything in it, so look. actually it's on backwards too. That was on the inside. but I see a flat and we see a flat on the outside.

That pulley was on like that it can't lock to it. Let's go spin that around. We'll lock that set screw up. We'll try it again.

Let's go Mark right where that key is. So I know cuz you can't see it once it's in place. You want that to lock in there. When this thing came as a kit and you had it to put it together, maybe the first people that got it just kind of messed up plastic I Want to overdo it? Let's go see how that is.

Go throw the belt back on I'll try that again. We'll put another load test on it see if she performs a little better. I'm going to back you up a little bit. The tracking went out again I don't know why that should have changed.

Looks like the bottom let just put a load on see what it does. Does that? At least it kept driving though before it it was just. um, maybe that's the issue they were're trying to fix by flipping it around I Going play the tracking again to get the top to do what it's supposed to. it's off.

You can stay there. so I want to tilt it more. your hands a you put a lot of pressure on it. it walks.

but what I think is happening is I think when we're putting pressure on it, it we we put pressure on it. it's making it tilt and I think that's what's causing the alignment to go out of whack I wonder if maybe the guard that was on it gave it maybe a little support. Where did it touch to a touch to attached to so there there? I Would think it would have had something up here though, wouldn't you? I see a hole in that and right now you can see how much I'm trying to adjust it to get get it to to run. True, you let it go and it goes right back.

You to put pressure on it. did what it did. Wonder if it's just so flimsy that it doesn't Um so I have that racked pretty good. You can see how much the adjustments kicked out.

got it leaning like that? h I probably put a straight edge on it that doesn't bother me too much with it kind of stepping off a little on the bottom just touching back there. Yeah I wonder if this has so much Flex in it? Yeah I Move it. yeah. I think that's what it is I think it's a quality issue? Uh, let's go play around the motor setup a little bit, see what we have I Also don't know quite what's going on.

what do you think this was? Seems kind of elaborate for a guide for a belt. don't you? Let's go plug it in and see if smoke comes out. So it looks like got a plug. It's a plug going to the motor, then coming out of the motor is another plug with two.

I Have a feeling we it we'll need to jump that going across. Maybe they turn it on and off, but let's go plug the first one in, see what it does ready. St Back here and nothing. Let's go put a jumper across that other thing and see if anything happens.

I'm always commended on my safety. You can see why. Lay that on the metal bench that ought have worked just fine. All right, let's see if it does anything St making a weird rubbing noise that smart shut it off does sound a little gr.

Let's um, try to set the pulley up on it that it came with and it was also a couple of bells soon as if they the right ones. I'm sure we can come up with some kind of combination of something that works with that. I'm going to get rid of whatever this thing is and it doesn't seem like it's serving it a purpose for us right now. The only I can think of too is possibly like maybe it had like speed adjustment in there.

You could you can, um, like flip a cover up and you could swap the belt over to different positions. Again, just guessing. So the front one I locked down. There's again, there's a flat where that one can kind of go lock on there with that the one that came with it but the back one.

uh, it was way out here and we would need it to be like right? even. that's no good. It would have to kick. Yeah, not that we can't drill the motor out and move it over some.

let's go see what this one had on it. Yeah, it's Center the the plate on the other one is over here. more you want to try just for shits and giggles. You want to try putting power to that and see if it does anything.

Make sure that we're not I Do see somebody looks like somebody took it apart though cuz there's that. Let's go see what happens. Oh it's got a broken. got a broken mouth.

let's um, let me see if I can get that out of there. It's like it fell I'm G To my best not to have that be stuck down inside there. Let's go hook an extension cord up to these two wires and we'll plug the cord in from a distance and we'll see what it does. You first, unplug that cord from the other end.

Polarity should not make a difference. What's your thoughts? I Figur They kind of removed it for a reason, right? They going to stay I'll be over here. It's kind of like when you go to the dentist and they leave the room and they take act TR Three two one? Huh? Doesn't seem bad. again.

it does have that broken that broken mount on it right there. What? I'm going to do I'm going to try to get the nut off. Take the screw out. We'll try to straighten it out.

and I'll put a washer behind here to help support it. Maybe we'll throw that one on there instead of trying to work with whatever you know boogered up setup. This is. maybe we'll get a little bit better on line.

You already see there's no way you're going to get that front pulley. It's the distance where the the motor is to it. It's going to fight me because that the end of the stud is bent. I Don't want to try fixing it in there though.

Let see what the rest of it looks like. it's fighting me right there. Dam it. Hopefully that'll come out of there.

it's just going to Tad wobbly on the end. So I'm going to go try to beat that straight without killing the threads. Like I said, we'll put a washer on that and put it back together. better.

good enough. I'm going to go clean the threads up on a wire wheel and see if maybe get like a better nut for it than that. They'll never know we were in there. I Ground off the edge too because the edge was kind of crushed.

All right, just make it sure it doesn't fall apart. Let's uh, put that one and replace it with the other one. I'll play with pulley and all. and uh, we can kind of still do what we did with this.

There is a switch built into it with a cord which is my guess is how it was supposed to be. which is this setup that's on here. so that probably went into the motor from a switch and then this end got plugged into the wall. Looks a little better.

that belt is about ready to be shredded away. It should be good enough to kind of run it. Also, this was this pulley was with it too. I Don't know this one's got a chunk tap now, but it shouldn't really matter of for us to run it.

but I wonder CU that's going to change the gear ratio of it, so it may have. They may have had that on the back with the smaller belt where we're trying to go do that? I'm not sure but judging where the rub marks are, it had a fatter pulley on it. Hard to say right? let's go plug it in. All right.

So we got everything hooked up with its original motor. Let's see what we got. fell off. Oh that pulley.

I left that pulley on there. Good. You tighten that belt up a little that you get rid of that bounce. Uhoh I didn't do it.

It come unplugged. Yeah, we run a minute. Let's put a little bit of load on it. We're going to overdo it.

Yeah if I if I overdo it, it pushes the belt off I Think it just kind of side loads itself. All right. getting closer. I think Uh.

I'm going to do a little shopping upstairs see if I have a better belt for it. Like that one's got little big chunks are hanging out of it. Now it's not making it run very smooth so you go find something a little bit better than that to work with. just peel it right off of there.

We have about about an inch of adjustment to move back and forth so that means you can go about 2 Ines of belt size I Do believe that one is quite a bit smaller. Yeah, let me see where I can go find Welcome to My Belt stash. It's all stuff that came from like yard sales people were putting the free piles and I just keep grabbing them and the small stuff is down on this end. So I'm going to go poke around a little bit so you can find anything that will fit.

Oh don't forget about this side and those that's the original and the closest one was that still in its package. It's a used one put back in this package I Want say that's pretty close? We should. Yeah, we got plenty of room to go backwards to tighten it up more. Still a little rattly, but it's quality.

I Tell you, let's go throw the belt back on it and maybe we'll start looking into what is happening. No, actually, let's go take an Oh meter. we'll see if the switch works, we can get rid of this nonsense wire that back up if the switch still works. So I just spun them together.

no ground hooked up yet. Let's um, plug it in. We'll flick this. It blew a circuit I Want to go do it.

Kicked off the Uh Zone reset the breaker. Uh I have a feeling something's not correct with that switch. So I tried a couple times and each time it kicks it. it's the GFI that's what is kicking.

but if I bypass the switch, it doesn't do it. I'm not quite sure what is happening, what the difference would be. see if I can get the switch out of there. good luck in the bottom half of it.

Holy I'm going to uh I got to fondle a little bit I got to come from the bottom and there's little tabs on the bottom I Got to lift up on and get this switch out of there and we'll look at it I Took the switch out of the circuit and the two wires that went. It just completes a path for one of the legs the Hot Leg of the motor. so I got them running out. they're open over there.

Let's go plug it back in and we'll tie them together. I Feeling is probably going to do the same thing and I did. Try it with and without the ground connected. Yeah, so without even the switch.

Well, that's not a good uh example was that touching I Don't think it was reset one more time. See what it does? Let's go try it again and the the circuit is not even completed. it's it's open. Let's take these leads right off.

One thing I could think of is maybe one of them is cut internally, but now there's not even a switch in the circuit at all. Let's go reset it one more time too. It does well. There really should be no difference.

Yeah, and the motor's trying to go, which is weird. The wires are open. They're not doing anything. There's no completed circuit yet.

it's it's trying to. You can see the motor take a little bit of a pulse H Something odd is happening you think it is. So I decid to kind of move on for a little bit. I'm not that concerned about whatever is going on with the switch for now.

Kind of want to look into what it's doing. So it seems like watch that bottom pulley soon as you start put putting some stress on it. it wants to walk the top. SCS Pretty consistent I Don't know if you can, you can see, you can barely see it.

Yeah, if we push it too far, just going to throw that belt. so what can we do to try to correct that? like how it wants to go walk I don't know. It seems like it's sitting pretty square like I'm not seeing it It rack and it doesn't seem like it's flexing. You know, the top can.

The top is pretty wimpy. You can literally kind of flex on that. You can see that being where the issue was. Maybe that is the case.

Maybe the top flexes and then that. That's what causes the belt to walk. Just seems like it. You would think that the tracking would fail there, but hard to say.

Well there's a way we can kind of beef up. Problem is this is spring-loaded you know, so you can't You can't just say okay I'll just put a bar from there to there and you know, crank on it. We could do anything we want, but I don't know if that's a proper because you want to be able to come up to it really and just you know Palm it. take a belt off, throw another one on real quick.

Instead of having to un bolt a bunch of crap back and forth, we could always just try. Um, maybe we'll take a piece of angle and we'll clamp a piece of angle here and here, put some rigidity in it and try it again. if it goes away. Maybe that's the direction that we need to kind of look to see what's happening.

So it's looking like there's an internal ground issue. So these are the two hot leads going into the motor. and when I go to buzz across them, one's got three or four ohms across it to ground. Probably roughly about the same on that.

So I think that's why the G GFI is kicking out. I've seen it. go go to the case and that's going across the winding where there is. there is a capacitor that's in the circuit too.

but I don't think that affects it that much. Not that knowledgeable about it, but it's It's looking like the motor may have a ground issue. Um, possibly the Um instulation is is blown out so it's going to the to the body of it I touch it I'm not getting Zapped but not saying that it's it's not going to happen in the future. Yes.

So I went to the other motor just to kind of confirm things. It's jumped so it was in the running position it is. one end is grounded to the motor, so if like I I go to the other side and you see the meter. You can see that it's a grounding going across it and we get nothing on either terminal coming into it.

So this is the same setup. It's got a starter capacitor on it, the other one's got a starter capacitor on it. but that other motor uh has a internal short of sorts to it, so although it still works, is uh, lighting up the outside of the case. That could be an issue as of right now.

Uh I think I want to. We know there's a problem with the GFI kicking the motor out I Wanted to see if we can try to figure out what the tracking is. You know, even if this thing doesn't survive I honestly I really don't even care I'm kind of wondering if maybe we try adding more curve to that pulley either the top and or the bottom one. If the bottom is possibly worn flat going across, it doesn't have as much of a a curve to it so it doesn't want to correct itself as much.

That's my guess. Might as well play with it right. Didn't cost us nothing. so it's the next day.

I'm kind of thinking about it. Uh, all the scratches that were on there like what that guard was. What if that? we rotate that maybe to the back I see some of there up here actually looks like that again. that Wheels adjustable this tin be moved.

but I wonder if that will make any kind of difference as far as the tracking is concerned. Let me go tighten that up a little bit more. We'll flick it on one more time. we'll put a load against it.

see what it does. Got to plug it in from afar? again? nothing. try wiggling all. so I kind of found out what this was I looked it up.

It is a Grizzly and no longer made. No longer sold and there's a reason why. That's why it would have had more apparatus on it. It would have been a plate that bolted to here that came out around and gave you like a support and you you kind of grind against it.

and then there also would have been a disc. a flat like 6in disc that set on the end of the motor here and you can work and sand on and had another little table underneath it. That's probably what this black base was for had something to do with that to probably hold that table that was mounted there. this is just was the lower half of it.

Having said that, I Really think it's starting to be a bit of a lost cause I Don't think it will ever function great enough to be, uh, somewhat useful if you're a homeowner. you want to go fart around with something, not put much of a load on something when you're sanding it or if you kind of babied it, you could do that. but I don't know. It seems fairly violent every time you go to, uh try and use it.

I Was thinking about trying to put those on the lathe and kind of cut them more of an a a cup to it and see if it help correct it a little bit better, especially on the bottom one. but I think it's the whole body of it is just kind of flexing and tweaking and not doing what it should be doing now. I Think this one is going to be filed under the uh fail. We'll shove it up in the stash just in case in the future.

Again, it's missing so many pieces I wouldn't mind you know if that part was okay I would have made a plate for it I Dug out another motor from the house I had laying around. this thing is a little Overkill I think what was on there was like a third or a half of horsepower. This one's probably uh, 3/4 or one horsepower, but the mounting plate was in the correct area for it. Oh well.

yeah, at least we have to go. uh, screw around when that have a little bit of fun. It's got bits and pieces that we could probably use on something else. I can put a not on that motor that, um, it is H Compromised.

Let's go. It came with another one. let's go put that one on the bench and he said that one worked okay. let's go check it out.

All right, this one. it's more for wood I Don't really do much W with wood, but it seems to could be a little bit better quality. This one's a Delta and that's a knockoff of something else. There's a there was another one that was made that they copied which had uh, steel wheels and you know it looked a little bit more beefy how it was made, but this one kind of the same idea.

uh 4-in belt with a 6-in Disc Sander I see I don't see the 6in Disc Sander on this one, neither. It was probably on the end of maybe right here and that got stolen for something else. Let's go plug this one in and see what it does. That's we're changing the belt.

see if this this one pops a breaker. believe it's in the off position. Find out. kind of.

Goosey Let's go yank the Sandpaper off. Go feel that roller, see if it's um, got issues with it. that's SL out there. it's got a bunch of drag.

Let's go throw some oil on that like we did the other one. see if the Goosey go away that even a word Goosey All right guys, this one definitely needed a lot less. Ls I'm going to throw throw some oil on that bottom two both sides. Let's go spin it without the Um belt on it.

give her a listen, get some more oil. Bottom is noisy too. spe see if we get that belt off of there. see if it's the motor or the uh drive so it's in the motor like the the weight of it is runs it.

it's um, it's probably got a bearing on the other side. Let's flip it on its side. Let's go go the other way. let's go pop you in the stand.

Let's go. I Tried dribbling a little bit right on there. That's really about the only option that we have that soak in doesn't seem like it's hot Drop it like a tot there. go Let the Smoke Out Oh too much oil so we just let it go.

Go stand it back up so the oil's not. uh, it's clearing up. it's like Uncle Fester with the train set, we're going to let that run a little bit, getting quieter and quieter the more it's going. I'll bring you back I Let it run for about 5 minutes.

I'm going to go. uh kick a fan on. get rid that little smoke bomb that we did in here thought your fault I Listen to you. Been running for about 5 minutes.

it actually kind of smelt like burnt wood I wonder if we got like a lot of dust in it? Let's try hitting it with an air gun when it's when it's running. Help I turn the air on hold that thought still a little crunchy sounded in there. Let's go throw the belt back on it like gravity just makes it makes the tension for that. it looks like the bracket is I think the bracket's bent.

Let's go drop it back down SP It yeah a little rapidly. she a little knocky. Shi Let's go throw the belt back on it and we'll run it for a little bit. Sometimes these have direction to them too, don't see it and this one's got tracking on this side to walk it left and right.

Just show what it does. Go flip it around. We'll get a piece of metal. we'll shove it into the front of it or a piece of wood or something.

Well, the paper's pretty clogged up. It'll do what it's supposed to do. I guess I would not exactly want to go into business and having this be your reliable piece. So I think I'm going to bring this back to the house and I'll just leave it in the garage that's over there for that purpose at some point I Want to make? They sell a kit? Like if you get like a real good metal um sander it.

it'll look something like that the layout of them, but they're like two grand around that area. They sell a kit that you can weld them and put them together yourself and the belt. The belts. I'm going to guess you know, make up a number.

See, the belt's like 4 feet long. It give you an idea of the difference. actually probably longer than that cuz that one that one's actually 48. Ines So I'd say it's probably double the size of that lengthwise now 68 feet, something like that.

and again, this is my opinion for what? I Understand the belt has time for the belt to cool off by the time it comes back around again that you're not overheating the metal like if you hold the metal at one spot. Know how the metal turns blue on you, the paper's getting hot and the Metal's getting hot. Well instead of the paper going by the piece and the paper's coming back around and the paper's up to 200 250, you know by the time it comes back around again, it's at 120 140 so you're not generating as much heat. so again, that's just a guess.

A guest of a guess of an opinion. So is what it is. they were free I Had fun with them again. this one will operate that one.

I don't trust it with the uh motor setup the way it is. so I'll grab some sandpaper pieces for that one and bring that to the house and bolt it to the bench for that's the only place I'm going to do anything really with wood, not so much here. All right guys. I think I'm to the point where I am rattling and babbling.

so I think we'll just cut it I Want to thank all for hanging out with me having a fun with a couple of uh, free junk and uh, hopefully we'll find some other pieces in the future. I may buy like I said I may try to go buy one of those kits that you weld all the pieces together and you make your own belt. Sander Rabbit I Wouldn't mind trying to go do one of those, but right now I just have too much going on so till when that happens I'll see you later I Mentioned the reason why one is wood and one is metal. You probably saying what's the difference that spins at a much slower speed than that does? Metal runs at a higher speed and wood is generally done at a lower speed.

Kind of opposite what you would use for Uh Band Saw Which is weird, you know, metal band saw cutting metal and cutting wood. It's the other way around. um, metal you cut at a slower speed and wood you would cut at a faster speed. Too much information.
