As far as i'm concerned, it's the breaking point point between a great sander and a bad one. Of course, that may be because i change belts more often, but even so, there are some convoluted and oblique designs out there that just make you scratch your head in wonder at what the design team was thinking.
It is a very clean and simple design. This is the smartest way to make this since you can remove the sander and use it separately. I still wanted to see your take on a standalone belt sander made from scratch.
It is amazing the quality of the wood you find in the wood pile. A bit of planing and sawing and you get very good 2X4 and 4X4 blocks!! For me it is mainly white and red oak.
What an awesome build, I love the simplicity of it. By chance are there plans for this? I don't have a Makita, but I'm sure I can modify it for my Craftsman.
EXCELLENT video and process. You are my hero. Thanks for sharing. You gave me an idea on how to repair my belt sander with half the work. I also love your clean and organized shop. Keep up the great work.
I know you said a slot might be gimmicky, but i'd still add one. You can make a super cheap slot out of a picture frame (or ad frame in some places) by cutting the face off and leaving the slot channel for the angle connections they use a a slot. It's small, cheap to make and there's a large variety of T-nuts for various applications, as not all such frames are used for pictures, mine for example is a wall mounted formicarium and it came with these tiny T-nuts (ebay) that hold quite a lot of weight. You can easily make an angle guide and sled from that.
Super travail et superbe idée !!! J adore !! D autant plus que j ai tout ce qu il faut pour fabriquer ce même outil....sauf que je n avais pas l idée !! Merci et bravo aussi pour la qualité de la réalisation 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great work designing this system - unique to that sander but ... And, those splits in the plywood from the screws could grow to be a problem but this is not made to be a forever tool. However, the design is amazingly effective.
As usual Cosmas, a great and clear video with a verry functional and well made end product. Thanks for sharing and wish you a nice long weekend. Rgds from Hessen.
Does that Makita belt sander come with those mounting holes, or did you drill and tap them yourself? I have a Porter Cable belt sander that I'd like to use, and it doesn't have mounting holes (for accessories?) on the body of the tool.

Geniale Idee und eine simple Konstruktion zugleich . Ich würde mir eine Gradscala dazu machen oder zumindest die 90 ° Markierung kennzeichnen, dann tut man sich beim Einstellen leichter !
my cheap chinese one keeps breaking belts, so this is a great idea... the miter slot might be good if you had a totally perfect filler strip for it with .00000001 clearance and internal screw for hold down when not in use, but another level of complexity, hassle, and possibly ruin perfect surface.
Genius...even I could do this.. also (and perhaps more importantly), the delightful dry delivery and even drier slowmo scribing at the end shows a super witty sense of humour...less is more. Germans ARE funny! 😉😍
When I upgraded from my own "horizontal belt sanding station" I found out a couple of things. Holy cow, my portable bench sander was loud. The cast iron of a proper bench sander helps to dampen the sound, but I think it's a different type of motor, even. And... disc sanders are incredibly cost efficient. A roll or box of 50x 6" stick on sanding discs takes up less storage space and costs the same as just a few sanding belts. Edited: I just realized how negative that sounds. My portable sander was the cheapest one at the store. That Makita looks like a work of art, and the melamine covered birch plywood is SAF. And it's good to see a new video.
best solution I've seen so far for a station that takes a portable belt sander and ends with a bench sander. Great idea.
Das tolle daran finde ich einfach das man nur 2 Schrauben lösen muss und man hat seinen Bandschleifer zurück 😊👍🏼
Great problem solving, Cosmas. Changing belts easily is indeed a great advantage.

The last bit, the "made in..." is really a testimony for the German quality work. 🙃
A helpful solution also for a disc sander, when setting the table wider than the diameter of the disc.
It is a very clean and simple design. This is the smartest way to make this since you can remove the sander and use it separately. I still wanted to see your take on a standalone belt sander made from scratch.
Now that is a classy, practical build that looks and appears to work just fantastic, thank you for sharing this with us! I have subscribed!
As always, the best solution usually has the genius of the simple. Great job!!!
Bravo mate, one of the best homemade belt sander stands I have seen!
It is amazing the quality of the wood you find in the wood pile. A bit of planing and sawing and you get very good 2X4 and 4X4 blocks!! For me it is mainly white and red oak.
Very nicely done. Efficient, effective, and uncomplicated. German design and engineering in action!
Woho! I've got the same model of horizontal beltsander station.
Very nice build, simple too!
Thanks for sharing 😃
This is very cool. I like your trunnion replacement with the bolts, simple and effective. I’ll have to try something similar.
What an awesome build, I love the simplicity of it. By chance are there plans for this? I don't have a Makita, but I'm sure I can modify it for my Craftsman.
Very nicely and neatly done. Your all jobs are of high quality!
Nice build and I enjoy your relaxed humour very much 🙂👍
The key to a good shop made machine is simplicity, and you nailed it on this one, great job.
I need this. Going on my to-do list. Thanks.
I am faster than you sorry 🤣😂
nicely done, amazing and clever work.
I have made this laying down (yours is more versatile) but I’m surely shopping for a second belt sander now! Great idea! Love it!
EXCELLENT video and process. You are my hero. Thanks for sharing. You gave me an idea on how to repair my belt sander with half the work. I also love your clean and organized shop. Keep up the great work.
Excellent result, loved your horizontal sanding station
very smart setup. seems not to expensive too. great work and very good video. I love the ending too... lolled for real :)
Nice. This video suggests an approach to building a chamfer sanding attachment for an old, 3rd rate palm sander.
Brilliantly simple build. Thanks
Made in wonderland, really like the glue + screw technique too. Just wonder if the threads will be strong enough to hold the complete sander.
فكرة رائعة جداً وتنفيذ في قمة الدِقه والكمال ولا يخلو من اللمسه الجماليه في المظهر العام.
سلمت يداك وبوركت أعمالك.
تحياتي

You can easily make an angle guide and sled from that.

"My horizontal sanding station...." AKA: belt sander clamped in vise!! Laughing out loud!!!! Too funny!!!
Great work designing this system - unique to that sander but ... And, those splits in the plywood from the screws could grow to be a problem but this is not made to be a forever tool. However, the design is amazingly effective.
Awesome build! Thanks for sharing.
Great design, well made!
Great thanks for your videos
A greeting from Spain
As usual Cosmas, a great and clear video with a verry functional and well made end product. Thanks for sharing and wish you a nice long weekend. Rgds from Hessen.
Do you have plans with dimensions fir this? It’s the best one I’ve seen
Wow, super Idee und schnelle Ausführung !
Nice job👍.
what measurements do you make from 5:50 to 6:10 min? Could you explain for me please?
Great little gig
Does that Makita belt sander come with those mounting holes, or did you drill and tap them yourself? I have a Porter Cable belt sander that I'd like to use, and it doesn't have mounting holes (for accessories?) on the body of the tool.
Very good!
This looks great!!! Do you have plans for it?
Your work is excellent!
Very nice solution!
Looks great! Do you have plans to share / for sale?
Hut ab ! Danke schön.
nicely done
Fabulous. On my “Things I need to make for my shed” list 👍🏻
I have to admit, I loved the concept! Particularly the false trunion :-)

Smart man ! Great video
have you got any planes for the vertigal belt sander i was having trouble with the trunions thank you
Coolest one
Einfach und effektiv. So lieb ich das 🤩🤩🤩
Nice idea, thanks for the video.
WOW good job bro
Excelente!, qué invento nueva herramienta casera. Gracias a tu video
my belt sander does not have those two slots on the side of its body, which makes it more work to hold the machine.
Muito legal e criativo parabéns!! Im from brazil.
Haha, nice ending!
Plans available?
Very good Jigsaw skills :)
What kind of Blade do you use for the fine cutting?
Use a fine tooth steel blade
Geniale Idee und eine simple Konstruktion zugleich . Ich würde mir eine Gradscala dazu machen oder zumindest die 90 ° Markierung kennzeichnen, dann tut man sich beim Einstellen leichter !
Well done engineered perfectly 🤠👍🔨
Отличная идея! Благодарю вас что поделились ей.
Schönes Projekt, danke!
Do you have instruction/guide/templates for make the mechanism of the tilting table?
my cheap chinese one keeps breaking belts, so this is a great idea...
the miter slot might be good if you had a totally perfect filler strip for it with .00000001 clearance and internal screw for hold down when not in use, but another level of complexity, hassle, and possibly ruin perfect surface.
Great build. However, I do not see a link (stated at 0:35 to 0:43 in the video ) for your Table Saw build video(s).
I forgot to add the link. Now it's there.
Very nice...
"Horizontal Belt Sanding Station"
Oops corrected... like "made in Germany" :) :) :)
It's a smoke 'em if you got 'em type deal
Plans??
Good build Friend! Thanks for sharing it with us.👌👍😎JP
Genius...even I could do this..
also (and perhaps more importantly), the delightful dry delivery and even drier slowmo scribing at the end shows a super witty sense of humour...less is more. Germans ARE funny! 😉😍
Hi, it's a very good job and a good idee
Ich mag es wirklich. Welches Spray sprühen Sie vor den Kleber? Danke.
Good job!
You really should think about putting a splitter or a riving knife on your table saw...kickback waiting to happen. Cool belt sander build though!
Phillip
Tnx for sharing
it's a very good idea 😊👍🏾
Thanks for sharing that
Hi, very nice job 👍.
Very cool!
Big problem solving👏
Great build! Question, if i may, what blade are you using on your table saw? (for melamine at 0:20 ) Greetings from México! n__n
Perfekt

Schöne Umsetzung! Wie heißt das Teil mit dem am Schluss das Germany geschrieben wird? Danke!
'The jigsaw produced a rough edge'. Why didn't you cut them on the table saw?
Why don't you have a miter sled ?
What do you call the wood / board you use
Baltic birch plywood.
Nice. Ich glaube sowas brauch ich auch 🤔
Cosmos, how much would you charge to build one of these and send it to the UK?
Wow like my friend
Why always on all woodwork videos do we have to get told that you have scraps of wood or it was left over from etc etc... Why?????
Smooooooooooth!
and it's no longer made in Austria hahaha! :D
Boa ideia . 👍🤗
Awesome! You really needed to made in Germany? Haha.
Wait I was under impression you're in Sweden or Norway...
