Thanks for the support! We try our best to make our videos as good and detailed as possible. Of course, there is still much to learn. Thanks, Ollie

Good video! However for ease of installing/use of fence, the 2 screws on the fence shown at 5:23 are going thru wrong side of fence. The 2 fingers of fence slip UNDER the plastic bottom guard, between guard and the belt. Screws go in from top thru plastic into fence. This allows fence to easily be removed/installed without removing the lower plastic guard when you want to use fence or not. UPDATE: Received my vacuum port adapter! Very cool. As I had already modified my sander for ability to run full vacuum (cut out restrictor on belt port and subsequently added spacers to cover to stop belt being sucked into cover ) I had planned on plugging the 2 holes on adapter. Didn't realize until received adapter there is also a restrictor on end that fits on vacuum, smaller id hole. Easy fix cutting out to allow full vacuum, though the infill (learned something today) kinda thru me- junction of ID web and body is webbed, wall thickness isn't solid.

Hey thanx.. this made it alot easier for me ... to bad I had to go back and undo it from the original... but still very helpful

Thank you. Good job. Factory instructions leave a lot to be desired. You made it easier for me.

You are a very bright young fellow..enjoyed your video very much....

Lads - excellent thinking! I used your video along with a few others as I am setting up my own Central Machinery unit. But the best part is your creativity, ingenuity, and drive to invent, produce, and build the vacuum attachment. When I’m back at my desk I’m ordering one - I was pondering what I remember from college fluid dynamics... you solved it for many people. I think you fellows are awesome!!!

Thanks, great video! Thanks for the dust collector attachment . . . I ordered mine today! Good job!

Awesome job. I got a tad bit confused with the provided directions but your video had me putting it together in no time. I need that dust collector!!!!

Great video! I’m ordering one of your adapters now you definitely need to attach a shop vac to use these! Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you for this video. I purchased this today and saw dust is everywhere. You are a genius! Keep up the good work my man! I will be buying one of your adapters today.

Great video. I just bought mine but mine already assembled. Your video helped show me how it was assembled and how to replace the belt. Keep it up.

Thanks for sharing your mod on Thingiverse. 3D printers make cheap tools like this more accessible to the masses. Great tutorial and awesome job promoting safety gear. My eyes twitch every time I was a so-called "expert" wing it without basic eye protection. Keep up the great work!

Just bought the dust port adapter. Awesome idea!

Nice Vid Bro! I'd be careful though with using that bottom mounted dust port on the sander. I did a similar mod to mine. The shop vac was sucking the belt down as it was running, and ended up sanding a hole through the bottom metal plate. I'm working on a new version where I move the port to a more efficient location. I and can tag you in the vid if you like. Keep up the good work.

Yikes!!!!!!!!!! Sorry about that! :( Check the new updated version on Thingiverse were the belt sander intake hole is a little smaller to reduce suction. You could also try drilling a 5-10mm hole through both the vac attach and the part it connects to to let in more air.

Nicely done young man!! You might add a note about moving the motor slightly to prevent the sanding belt from slipping under load. Loosen the 4 bolts that attach the motor and slide the motor to tighten the drive belt. Drive belts on these sanders look to be of poor quality and I suspect that they vary quite a bit on their actual dimensions.

@bananascience just curious trying to buy the 3D printed part from your website and I don’t have a shop vac yet but will be getting one soon - what do you recommend, which size options should I order on the site for most shop vacs/widest compatibility?

Nice snippets of PMJB

I went the cheap way to begin with. Big mistake. This thing didn't have enough power to even turn the belt!! I decided, no sense in fighting a bunch of re-habs & my labor 1st thing out of the box. Called the store, asked to bring it back & trade for a BAUER!! So glad I did! Pulled it out of the box, attached a few items & went to work with it! By the way,.....plenty of power.

Where can I order the dust adapter? Great video!

The sand paper still slides over after tightening it. Why's that?

Great vid for setting up the sander. Thanks! But, ummm... instead of spending $25.00 ( inc. shipping) for your cool little shop vac adaptor, (and it is cool) I just used a pvc elbow, some old tubing and a drill, and in 5 minutes had the same thing. Fit right on my shop vac... Cost me zilch... Just sayin' :)

I've been trying to figure out how to set the table up on the belt sander. I'm just not smart enough to figure it out. The terrible, really dark image in the instructions and the 3 steps show you absolutely nothing. So frustrating.

What V belt is used on this machine? For the life of me I cannot find anything about it. My belt is so worn that I can't even see the number on it

Anybody know where I can get these screws used on the plastic plate? Some how mine are gone..and I want to put it together. Right now I use the belt, but I want to use the disc. I NEED SCREWS. Harbor Freight said they couldn't send them to me. UGH

Any hardware store. metric w/ flat washers (3) M4x 8 screws mount disk cover, same as belt cover screws. Ensure they do not hit pulley. (4) M3x 12 to mount disk port half to disk cover. Assume you don't have instruction w/parts list?

Does anyone know what size the wrench is? Mine didnt come with one

My thoughts on vac sys for this sander..the sizes are very common-Leftover CPAP parts...PVC plumbing parts ... 100 sources of parts.IMHO.. a HD SHOP VAC is overkill.. I am going with a small vac and adding ports to lower suction or not. guess I need to make a YT vid.

@BananaScience

You're right. My vac is probably way overkill but it's the only one I have.

What is the eBay site for the red dust collecter?

my ISP takes hours to dwnld a vid--anybody else have a part left over.. which video really shows how to put ALL together.

Do they make a matching stand for this sander?

You might have to adjust the slack in the belt that drives the pulleys. Sometimes it comes a little too loose. There are videos on here showing how to do it and they seem to help.

It's okay if it looks a little bit pinched down here.

Pinched vacuum line=less suction. It over works your vacuum motor.

So I just received my VAC attachment 40 minutes ago. When I slipped it onto the belt sander port under the belt, it cracked on two sides... so what am I supposed to do now.. Ebay, in their infinite wisdom, won't let me send a message informing you of this so I did it here.

Without the two holes, the suction from the vacuum will suck the sanding belt downward and literally grind a hole through the bottom of your sander
