Here is another version of a 1" X 42" belt sander. Salvage 1 HP pool pump motor which required a base welded up to fit the C face motor. Column made of channel with an idler pulley to maintain belt tension. Ball bearings in the top and idler pulleys, The face of the top and bottom pulley are crowned about 1 or 2 degrees with a file.
Prior to making this, I had a Grizzly which I had to make so many repair parts for that I decided it was easier to start from scratch.
