Nice video of calm and responsible operation of an effective yet potentially dangerous machine. I am especially interested in the dust collector technology. Previous job I was refused a simple clamp for both the intake, and exits. So I improvised with tape and rags. Thanks for some precise training by doing on this amazing machine!
The sanding belts are around $50-$60 a belt - Search "VSM" on NormanMachineTool.com . Belt life depends on the type of belt, what you are grinding, and the operator. If your plasma table produces a lot of slag or if the operator is taking a really heavy pass, they will last less time. General feedback from customers is they are spending the same or less on abrasives with wide belt sanders than on flap discs and grinding discs, while saving a ton of time a week using the wide belt machine
@@normanmachinetool Yea that looks Great. I have Arthritus in my right wrist, and I get busy with bigger cuts (36×32) and have several. Its hard for me to flappy disc them. Thats why I'm looking into one of these.
