t88ny asked:

Is it possible? The drive belt in my sander has snapped and there’s no chance of a replacement. Is there a technique to make a suitable replacement. I don’t expect miracles but something that’ll work for a bit before it needs making again will do. Has anyone had any luck experimenting in this area?

I’m putting a bass box “Sub-Woofer Enclosure” together for a buddy and need to know how they will do. Not looking for the most professional tools out there but need something that will get the job done and at an affordable price. Money is not a key factor in the grand scheme of things and if i have to spend more i will. How ever if these will complete this particular job then they are all i need. $50 at lowes will get me a closeout sale of a belt sander, a jis-saw and a corded-power drill. If this is a good deal or a bad one, please let me know.

Barney asked:

I know that the drive drum is bowed in the middle. This would make me think it would slide off one side once it started moving. Instead, if you force the belt off center, it recenters itself like magic.

T-Lo asked:

I used a band saw to cut the shape roughly and finished it up with a belt sander. The sander has left ripples from where I cut the relief cuts used for when I shaped it first on the band saw. Question is, how do I get rid of these ripples if the Belt sander won’t do it.

idahosf asked:

I have a 57 y/o home with an oak parquet floor. I am removing the carpet that has overlaid this floor for at least the past 10 years. The floor is in pretty good shape, but has patterns left from the carpet padding, staple and nail holes all over the place, and a few worn areas, but nothing seriously wrong (that I have encountered so far, that is).

My wife and I plan on refinishing this floor in the near future. Because the floor is parquet (12×12 blocks with 5 identical wood strips that run parallel with each other, but perpendicular to the neighboring blocks), I won’t be able to use a belt sander.

Thanks in advance!

Scalan asked:

I think my old wood plane may be shot, and after thirty minutes of getting no where with my weak wal-mart orbital sander I ave decided to get a new tool.
Would something like a “Bosch FINECUT Flush Cut Power Hand Saw” be to sloppy for the job? It looks cool cause I could use it for other things. Or should I just get a belt sander that I’m afraid wouldn’t be as versatile for other jobs but would get this one done?

Thanks for your help!

IM GETTING MARRIED! asked:

So confusing! I want to get my boyfriend a sawzall for Christmas, but not just any sawzall because he is a carpenter and needs a very heavy duty professional tool. I figure the 13amp Milwaukee sawzall is probably my best bet…but there are a few different 13 amp models. How the heck am I supposed to know which one is the best? Can someone out there who is less confused about power tools help me out!?

-Side note: I want one with a cord. And if anyone has a link or an inside scoop on where i could get the best deal I would really appreciate it!
