Edge-Sanding Fixture
Oct 25, 2005
Here’s a fixture that turns a belt sander into an edge sander. Simply build a wooden fixture that supports and locks your belt sander in a horizontal position. Bolt the fixture to the tablesaw’s rip fence as shown, and use the saw’s flat cast-iron surface for the work.
