I just went on Amazon and searched for 1 x 30 sanding belts. There were lots of grits and lots of sources there.

As soon as I saw the image of the belt sander, I started to think of how much easier it would be to sharpen chisels with one. Also, I’ve moved in the last year and I’m now much closer to a Harbor Freight outlet than before. Hmmm.

Showing how you trued up the drive wheel to make it a smoother tool makes an inexpensive tool decent. I’m going to add this tool to my Harbor Freight shopping list.

I’ve been surprised to be really satisfied with some Harbor Freight tools. Their electric heat gun and oscillating multi tools have held up well and were good values. Thanks much for your publication.
