Title: Belt sander cradle
Post by: overfifty on October 13, 2014, 03:59:50 pm

I've pretty much exhausted all the woodworking sites. Can anyone refer me to a _clear_ set of instructions on how to build a jig for a belt sander (making it hands free)? Cheers, Barry.

It is called a bench vice.  ;)

Mmm, nope, the configuration of the handle doesn't lend itself to sit securely. Thanks anyway...

Hi Dave. The second on Youtube on your list was the one I've been searching for, I thought in vain. Thank you very much.
