    Different Strokes

    This looks like a shop made stroke sander. If you aren't familiar with one, it's the cats meow.

    The title is roughly "Wooden long belt sander."

    The caption is roughly: "Long belt sander, comes apart and collapses in about 15 minutes, primarily made from wood." Then I think something to the effect of, "taken apart, it takes up about 1 square meter."

    Pretty cool.

      Pretty impressive bit of machinery. I'd probably feel uncofmortable using it. Too many moving parts moving in lots of seperate directions.

      I really liked this flooring ad that was in youtubes related videos:

        Hmmm... If I take my 3x21 belt sander, some rope, a couple of pulleys, & a fresh roll of duck tape....

            Bad decisions make good stories.

                It's not as ominous as it looks. The one in the video was a home/shop built one. A production stroke sander has better guarding, and your control hand isn't that close to moving parts. There are smaller versions that work well for smaller areas.

                They are great for surface sanding, like for panels.
