Some of the youtubers we follow have neat toys to make processors better/quicker. One such item I drool over in the Campbell Randell Variable Speed Burning Machine. Chances of getting one in Australia are pretty minimal and if it was available, I would probably be hit with a 50% export Tariff ;). So I after some time on my CAD I came up with these. The sanding wheel is 89mm diameter and has a small flat area so the sand paper has a slight overlap and you don't feel a bump. I choose the diameter to suit strips cut from an standard sheet of wet and dry sand paper. Currently I am testing 180 grit and am extremely satisfied. The Dust collector is NOT my work. I blended a vaccy adaptor on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2806410) to suit my needs. The burnisher works well. These are all printed in PETG and time will tell if the stand up to abuse. Both the sander and burnisher are driven by 1/2hp 3 phase motors with VFD to control speed. When I get this mounted in their (yet to be designed frames) I will share moer details. As always I am very open to comments and observations.

I have an old motor and divider bar that used to run and old bench mounted multi-tool work station. I'm gonna turn this into a sanding and burnishing machine. Problem I'm having is finding a sanding drum that mounts to a half inch bar with set screws or has half inch thread for mounting. I also can't seem to find the necessary adapter either. Any tips on where I can find either would be much appreciated.

Hello! I am a beginner shoemaker and have been trying to figure out an affordable and dependable way to sand and shape leather soles and heels. I purchased a harbor freight belt sander that broke down very quickly. Then I purchased a black and decker grinder that was modified by a shoemaker that exploded and almost took my eye out! Anyways, I would love to hear what people are using to shape leather that isn't a huge investment like the industrial ones but one I can use at home and feels safe. Can anyone recommend perhaps a better brand for a belt sander? Regards, Maia
