Understanding The Belt Sander

A belt sander is a power tool that has two parallel drums on its underside that are spun with a motor. A continuous loop of sandpaper, or a sanding belt, is pulled around the drums to sand or level wood and other materials. Belt sander are a much rougher tool than most sanders and are generally only required for certain projects demanding quick removal or rough surface leveling. They are also commonly used to remove paint or other finishes from materials.

Power Sander

The most conventional belt sanders use 3" to 4 " wide belts. These wider sanding belts offer greater working surface area on your materials, but they also tend to be a bit more difficult to control. It's easy to make avoidable errors when working with a belt sander; it takes only one moment to lose control or remove too much material. Of course the same is true of motor size, the more amps you have, the more power you have to control. So essentially, operators should be comfortable and cautious with their belt sanders; the precision of finish sanding, for example, is pretty difficult to achieve with one of these bulky power tools.

Power Sander

Maintenance:

The bulky build of belt sanders, however, helps them withstand some pretty serious shop abuse. They are tough and general maintenance is relatively simple. Mostly you just need to be certain the two cylindrical rollers (drums) the sanding belt sits on remain in perfect alignment. If the rollers are not precisely parallel, the belt will not track in the center of the rollers and will slip off. As a rule, you should try to adjust the rollers each time you change the belt. This can be done with a manual tracking knob on the side of the tool. If your drums are tilted the belt will either push toward the inside of the rollers or slip off of them altogether. If the rollers are poorly aligned, they can also push the belt up toward the housing which could cause damage to both the housing and the belt.

It's also important to check the platen for wear, dents or scratches when changing the belt. The platen is a thin piece of metal backed with a similarly thin sheet of cork. It sits (on the underside of the sander) between the inside of the sanding belt and the sander's shoe. It's there to afford a flat but also somewhat soft support, or shock absorption, for the sander and the belt as well. Because the belt rubs over the platen, it's important to watch for wear; the platen will eventually need to be replaced due to this friction. You may consider removing the platen periodically to make certain the cork is still intact. When the cork begins to crumble apart, or the metal begins the thin, the platen must be replaced.

Changing the Belt:

To change the belt, flip the sander onto one side leaving the open side facing up, pull the release handle and the rollers will come slightly together to slacken the belt. Before replacing the belt be certain it is facing the direction indicated (by arrows) on the bottom of the belt - otherwise your sandpaper will be moving in the wrong direction. Slide the belt over the rollers and drop the handle to tighten the belt to the drums. Align the rollers with the sander's tracking knob to ensure they are exactly parallel. The sander must be engaged to adjust the tracking so be certain the sander is secure before making any adjustments. The sander may face either up or down as you adjust the tracking, but it's generally easier to do effectively if you can see the belt as you adjust. The belt should track in the center of both the rollers and the platen, but if you run into a stubborn belt, just be sure it tracks in the center of the rollers.

As all craftsmen know, a great deal of sawdust comes along with sanding. It's vitally important to keep all your power tools clean, so be certain to blow out your sander periodically (even after every use) to keep it running smooth and efficient. If your belt sander is corded be sure to check it for breakage and replace replace it if damage occurs.

Because belt sanders can be rough, remember to be cautious and slow as you work. But don't let the bulk of the belt sander deter you; belt sanders are a useful tool and are powerful and practical enough for many wood-shop applications. For quick removal and leveling, the belt sander is unbeatable.

Different Types of Power Sanders

Power sanders are great tools for woodworking and mill working. The problem is, there are so many varieties out there. How do you know which type of power sander to use for a given job? Here are some easy tips to get you started.

Power Sander

Belt Sanders

Power Sander

Belt sanders are probably the most common thing people have in mind when they think of a sander. They have a looped pieced of sandpaper fitted around two wheels, which spin the sandpaper around at a very fast speed. This is probably the most heavy-duty of the hand-held power sanders, and should be used at the very beginning of a rough sanding project. Some examples of times to use a belt sander would be removing lots of old paint or stain, basically preparing a surface for more detailed work by removing the old. These sanders are very aggressive and can remove a lot of material in a hurry, so be sure to pay attention while you are using them, especially on softer woods. If this worries you, then a belt sander with a variable speed adjustment is for you.

You may have also heard of a narrow belt sander. This is just a normal belt sander that is not as wide, making it useful for smaller hard to reach areas.

Palm Sanders

Palm sanders are also sometimes called finish sanders, or pad sanders. They have a small rectangular pad on the bottom, which usually takes a 1/4 or 1/3 sheet of sandpaper. It vibrates in a somewhat circular pattern, and must be moved along the wood in the same circular motion to avoid scratching. When used correctly, they provides a nice smooth finish on flat, easy to access surfaces. This would be a perfect sander to use after the belt sander does the heavy-duty work.

Detail Sanders

Detail sanders (sometimes called a contour sander) are smaller than other handheld sanders, and are used for getting into tight spaces and sanding odd shapes that other sanders cannot handle. The pad is usually triangle shaped, but many of these sanders come with multiple attachments to aid in reaching even the smallest of spaces. These tools are usually used for small craft projects and even mill working, such as window and door casings.

Random Orbit Sanders

Random orbit sanders are probably the most versatile sanders around. They are great for jobs big and small, and they are small enough to get into most tight spaces. These sanders have a round pad that moves in a circular motion, with a little bit of random variation to prevent swirl marks on your piece. They also feature variable speed control, which is great when you are working with soft wood, or you are getting to the end of your sandpaper. Dust collection is built into the random orbit sander, usually coming with a dust collection bag, but sometimes with a vacuum hose attachment. There are small holes on the circular pad that sucks up the sawdust as it is created. Because of these holes, special sandpaper specific to random orbit sanders must be used. This sandpaper also has holes that line up with the dust collection holes. If you are looking for an all-around sander that is great for multiple purposes, the random orbit sander is for you.

Black & Decker DS321 Dragster 7 Amp 3-Inch by 21-Inch Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag Overview

Go ahead and say it: It looks like a race car. That's what we said, too, and were ready to dismiss it as a gimmick. But then we tried it, and we stopped smirking. The smaller front roller changes everything you know about using a belt sander, making the belt's route more of a triangle than an oval. And because of that, you can get the grit to spaces you couldn't with a standard belt sander—for example, you can actually scoot right up to the baseboard when sanding a floor. There's more contact area with this design, and while that may be a moot point, we think it's still worth mentioning. We really like the three-position handle; it adjusts easily and lets you have the grip you need to be in control of an aggressive tool like this one. The dust collector works as well as any on a belt sander (meaning you're still going to have a mess to clean up). Belt changes are pretty straightforward and easy, thanks to the simple belt release lever. Because it's not a high-end tool, don't expect impeccable belt tracking here; still, the adjustment knob does a good job of tracking. This is one of those why-didn't-someone-think-of-this-sooner tools. Such a simple design change offers so much more utility in a well-priced staple of the workshop.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Yes, it is a few extra dollars, but it is a very important small investment if you want to make your windmill the right way.

The second secret is that a person's power bill can be entirely eliminated by a home windmill. While results between 50-80% are more common, there are some windmill users who are powering their homes and businesses entirely with wind energy. Many people do not realize just how much power, and money, can be saved by using this great method.

These are just a couple of things that I wanted to share about homemade wind power. My website which is mentioned below reviews the top 3 home energy products available.

Air Sanders: Forget Electric, Go Air!

An air sander is a common air tool often overlooked by most people. If you already have an air compressor to run your impact wrench, you may consider purchasing an air sander instead of an electric model. Your average off the shelf electric sander is fine for little home projects. But if you are really concerned about production and speed, an air sander will blow it away. These tools are also more rugged, versatile and lighter.

Power Sander

The main reason is the power source is your air compressor, not the little electric motor in the sander. This also makes them easier to fit into weird places and hold over your head to reach a ceiling. At the end of the day, an air sander is much kinder to your hands, while delivering more power. They also come in models that are both sanders and buffers. I really recommend one of these if you are a car or boat enthusiast. An air buffer will make quick work of a long wax job on your favorite ski boat. You can then turn around and use the same tool to sand down your kitchen cabinets for painting.

Power Sander

Air sanders are really versatile tools and a great addition to your air tools for your garage compressor. There are also orbital sanders, dual action sanders and palm grip sanders for any application you might run across. It may be time to take a second look at that air compressor stuffed in the garage. They can do a lot more than just fill up tires and run impact wrenches.

Controlled Finishing System for Smooth Results
This sander's 3.0 amp electronic variable speed motor adjusts from 7,000 to 12,000 opm, so you can select the ideal speed for each job. Its random-orbit motion and 3/32-inch orbit prevent unsightly swirls while allowing for significant material removal. The DEWALT Controlled Finishing System (CFS) controls pad speed and minimizes gouging during start up, contributing to clean, consistent finished surfaces.

Since achieving a great finish is also about how well you're able to control your sander, this tool features a textured anti-slip top and body grip. This keeps you comfortable during extended periods of use and allows for excellent control--no matter how tough the job at hand is. The sander also features a dual-plane counter-balanced fan that improves handling and works to reduce user fatigue, and it weighs in at an easy-to-maneuver 3-1/2 pounds.

Durable, Versatile Design and Quick Disk Changes
Sanding produces a lot of dust, which can be hard on electronic and mechanical tool parts over time. This orbital sander's dust-sealed switch and sealed 100 percent ball-bearing construction combine to keep dust and debris away from critical components and ensure a longer tool life.

For added convenient, the sander accepts 5-inch, 8-hole hook and loop abrasive paper. This setup allows sanding disks to be switched back and forth quickly and easily, so you never have to choose between maintaining an efficient workflow and utilizing the perfect grit.

Convenient, Integrated Dust Management
Dust management is critical when performing sanding and stripping tasks, and DEWALT' has it covered with a high capacity dust bag. This bag features a built-in vacuum adapter, so you can choose to utilize it with or without a shop vac or an extractor based on where you are and what applications you tackle most.

This 5-Inch Random-Orbit Sander comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money back guarantee.
