    I'm on my second Craftsman belt sander for the sole reason that I like the pointed end, giving it a longer flat basis than the others - and that the handle is so positioned as to give it a low center of gravity, The very negative side is that the bearing underneath the pulley begins to heat up at only slight use, seize up and rotate inside the plastic assembly piece. Repair is near-impossible unless you have saved all unaffected parts from your previous Craftsman belt sander which died the same way. Even than - you must manufacture special servicing tools to effectively hold still some moving parts to prevent them from turning during disassembly and assembly. As an engineer - I find this "Beyond Economical Repair" ethos difficult to swallow, so out of expedience, I buy another one for $75 or more.

    Thanks for the video and free plans. I will be trying to make my first one tommorrow. One thingI would to point out is that you shouldn't sand the interior of the house. The fledgings need a rougher surface to cling to when trying to emerge from the house. When very young their nails do not grip very well and they will just slide down to the bottom . They aren't able to develop necessary strength for their wings and legs.

    You are not going to believe this but I have CAD drawings I made over 3 years ago that could be of your design including the angle to mount to the table and the 2x2x1/4 wall square tubing. (I cannot come up with a reason to use a rectangle) Very little change in the fence itself, either, including the piece of sheet metal and "square" adjusters. 2-great minds agree. ,,,,, Now all I have to do is to take the tie to actually build mine!

      I originally had one made from melamine. It warped over time. A big part of that is that it was stored in an unconditioned space. I plan to insulate my shop this year, but until then, this won't warp on me.

    Makes me wonder how thin you can build a torsion box before it stops working. There is probably a ratio of the thickness to the space between the cross members that needs to be followed to maintain stiffness and flatness.

    • @MurphysCreations
      @MurphysCreations 5 місяців тому

      I did a lot of reading up on torsion boxes before making this one, and the consensus seems to be that the thinner the skins, the closer the interior supports should be spaced. If you were to use 1/4" plywood for the interior supports and the skins, I'm sure it could be problematic. That would be an interesting video to make, testing torsion boxes to see at what point they no longer work.

    Keep an eye out for deformation caused by welds. The way that cross piece bowed up is a pretty classic example. When the welds contracted, they pulled the "wings" upward into dihedral. It's a good idea when you're welding something that requires some dimensional accuracy to: 1) fixture everything so it can't deform as much as it cools 2) severely limit the amount of welded area to only what's necessary for strength (those first welds could have supported several thousand pounds. Good job btw :-) ) 3) Limit welds to areas where deformation won't critically affect the sensitive dimension (a single bead on front and back of that angle, parallel to the table) 4) Brazing is also a great option instead of welding, but the tools and fuels are expensive (and it's waaaaaay dirtier than flux core ever dreamed of being) You got yerself a sub, bud. Promise me you won't get bougie when the money starts rolling in. My Bauer tools are every bit as good as my Bosch and my Dewalt stuff. I wanna see a 1M sub maker using the same tools as normal people!

    • @MurphysCreations
      @MurphysCreations 5 місяців тому

      Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate them. If by bougie you mean festool and such, I have no intention to use that brand! The only way I could justify such a price tag is if they offered a tool that would significantly speed up a process and no one else had an equivalent tool. But even then, if there was a good way to do it without their tool using a different process, I would choose that first. I understand the reasoning people use for getting festool and they certainly do offer some really cool tools, but I don't like how they charge through the roof, for tools that aren't any better than much cheaper options. Paying for the brand if you ask me, which I don't support.

      It's improper to rely on wood to hold a bolt. I never do. Always use a nut on the other side, or countersink it into the piece of having the extra thickness of a nut on the other side is a problem. A bolt threaded into wood will break the wood "threads" and come out.

    Not square... the adjusters you have on the face of the angle iron that lock to the rail are for adjusting the fence to sit parallel with the miter slots/blade. Square has to do with the fence being perpendicular to the table.

    You could add an adjustment to make sure your fence is square(perpendicular) to the table... It's just a slight modification to the section of the angle iron that slides across the top of your guide rail 1) drill and tap 2 fine thread holes (preferably 1/4" hole/6mm for metric) near the far edge of each end of the angle iron that sits on top of the guide rail (if you wanted to over do it you could weld a nut to the top of each side so you have more threads to work with ; the reason you might consider that will become apparent) 2) Use nylon slotted grub screws in the 2 threaded holes you tapped (slotted instead of hex or phillips grub screws so they can be as short as possible. The slot will only have to be 1mm deep for you to adjust the grub screws with a flathead screwdriver). If you cant find nylon slotted grub screws... just get nylon hex or phillips grub screws longer than what you need, cut them down and make your own slot. The grub screws on each end of the angle allow you to make micro adjustments to square the fence with the table. Your fence will slide on the bottom of the nylon screws from then on... obviously because they are what will keep your fence square with the table. You may need to find a light duty thread locker to get them to stay firmly in place.
