That is a good modification to give you a table belt sander. That is a better way to run it because if it was vertical, it sands across the grain most of the time. This way you go with the grain! Good thinking!....Jim

If the base is just clamped to the bench as it apears to be in the picture…What good does the ventilation hole do?

I used to think putting a belt sander in a vise was silliness….until I tried it! This is a wonderful fixture you’ve made.

Nice job! I am going to try Bertha’s vice trick.

I have put mine in the vice before, too. This seems more stable and safe. Definitely going to try this.

Thank you, Guys.
aschmidy2003, you are absolutely right. While it works the way it is, I have considered propping it up about an inch to provide better ventilation. Similarly, the board work surface positioned adjacent to the sander would have to be raised. Good suggestion, thank you.

Thanks, Armand. I have made improvements on it already based on the comment of aschmidy2003

I will be implementing this idea soon. Thanks for sharing
