The treadmill is dead. Long live the Frankensander!


Tore the old tread mill apart. Threw out the parts not needed, rerouted the wiring, shored up the bed and got a hands on lesson in the operation of Reeves pulleys.


Re wired the motor power cord and disconnected the pulse monitor. Plugged it in and it runs!!!!


Now, I've got to engineer a lead screw to adjust the motor carriage that will give me speed control. I may try to rig up a similar set up to adjust the powered platen for belt tracking. Then weld on some legs and order some belting. It takes a 14X"105" belt, so I'll  have to order a longer one, cut it and re splice it. Anybody got any suggestions on the kind of glue I should use?39.gif


So far, this has been a lot of fun! Grin.gif

Are you making a drum or a belt sander?

Mike, It'll be a belt sander with a 14"X 50"sanding surface.


With some more modifications, it'll be a thickness sander.

For paper and glue for belt you could try here. Hide glue works too. Post some pics it does sound intersting.
