Unlike a random orbital sander, these tools use a continuous sanding belt for efficient stock removal on larger flat surfaces. They typically feature a powerful DC motor and are ideal for tasks like levelling rough timber or removing old finishes. Look for models with effective dust collection and adjustable belt tracking for optimal performance. Handheld Cordless Belt Sanders For increased portability and freedom of movement on site, handheld cordless belt sanders are an excellent alternative. These tools offer the same aggressive material removal capabilities as their corded counterparts but without the need for a power outlet. They are particularly useful for working in remote locations or where power access is limited. Consider battery life and weight for extended use. Benchtop & Stationary Belt/Disc Sanders Benchtop and stationary belt/disc sanders offer a stable platform for precision sanding tasks. These larger machines combine a belt sander with a disc sander, providing versatility for various woodworking applications. They are ideal for shaping, deburring, and finishing smaller workpieces, offering greater control than handheld options. Many feature a tilting work table for angled sanding. Method 1: Handheld Belt Sander (Sanding Belt) To use a handheld belt sander, first ensure the correct grit sanding belt is fitted; 80 grit is good for aggressive removal, while 120 grit is suitable for general sanding. Hold the sander firmly with both hands and place it gently onto the workpiece. Move the sander smoothly and continuously with the grain of the wood, avoiding dwelling in one spot to prevent gouging. Overlap each pass slightly for an even finish. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Method 2: Replacing an Internal Drive Belt (Handheld or Stationary) Replacing an internal drive belt on a belt sander typically involves disassembling part of the tool's housing. Begin by disconnecting the power source. Locate the access panel or screws that secure the motor housing. Carefully remove these to expose the drive belt and pulleys. Note the orientation of the old belt before removing it. Fit the new belt over the pulleys, ensuring it is correctly seated and tensioned. Reassemble the housing securely.
