What kind of belt sanders do you have?

[wrknives]

I have on of those cheap 1x30 belt Sanders from harbor freight. What do you have?

 

[rkmoore]

I have a work sharp. Does that count?

 

[DJG097]

Hopefully by the end of week ill have a Kalamazoo 1SM on order, but for now, a worksharp.

 

[mrn8]

Same here (HF special). It works ok for now and there are other tools I'd like first before upgrading to something better.

I have an older delta 1x30 works great for making knives for me but I dream of owning a wilmount tag-101

 

[Translash]

I got a 1x30 by harbor freight and a work sharp. I prefer the work sharp

Is that a fox body in the background?

 

[camoninja]

HB that I lay flat to convex with. Sometime next year hope to get a Kalamazoo also.

Looks like a GN to me.

Mines a 1HP Lishishall 2 x 36...Not bad at all and it eats through G-10 and micarta at a decent rate.

 

[Psyop]

Craftsman 2x42 but it will run 1x42 as well

 

[TwinStick]

I have a 1"x30" HF belt sander, a 4"x36" belt & 6" disc HF sander & a 12 speed benchtop HF drill press. Certainly not the most powerfull ones in the world but they sure do work fine for me. They save me a crap load of time when sharpening & reprofiling blades.

You can do an amazing amount of work with the HF 1 x 30 with good belts. I've got and still use two of them. The Craftsman is a huge upgrade and with a couple of easy mods (like making a ceramic platen from a tile and attaching it with epoxy) makes a dandy. Runs a little fast but it's a real grinder. I've seen a few people add a third wheel and run 2 x 72 belts. I use mine just about daily. I recently got a Burr King and it's a pleasure to use.

I got my Work Sharp last night. I ran some kitchen knives thru it and oh my jeez. It didn't take much at all to get them "shaving sharp". I was able to draw them thru paper like butter. Fantastic. I'm going to try my Buck M-9 Bayonet next and see how that goes, them maybe my Estwing ax.
