wide belt sander

BlankI need a wide belt sander, very inexpensive. I just got started = with segmented turning and need to smooth each row of segments before = gluing. My 3" belt sander just doesn't cut it. Any used, old machines = out there? any suggestions?

I am located in Houston, Texas.

Do you have a drill press? I use a safety planer to true the top of each new ring after the glue sets. Quick, cheap, easy ... keep an eye on where your fingers are.

They sell all the parts for shopmade sanders. Very reasonable and good service. Usual disclaimer. Just a happy customer Pete Visit my site at:

One thing to watch out for with the old drill-press drum sander- they'll tend to clog up really quickly if you don't get one with a large diameter or figure out a way to make it oscillate.

I've got a few, thinking they'd be perfect for all sorts of things, but they were really a disappointment in action. On the bright side, it's a very inexpensive experiment to try out!
