Belt sander machine is a sander used in grinding and finishing wood and also other materials. Basically belt sander machine consists of an electric motor that turns a pair of cylindrical drums on which a continuous loop of sandpaper belt is mounted. But in this belt sander I have used drill machine instead of electric motor.

Belt sanders and disc sanders can have a very aggressive action on wood and are normally used to rapidly remove material from workpiece and the beginning stages of the sanding process. Sometimes belt sanders and disc sanders are also used for removing paints and finishes from wood. Fitted with sand paper of fine grit, a belt sander machine can be used to achieve a completely smooth and fine surface of the workpiece.

There are different types of belt sander available in the market such as handheld and moved over the material type and stationary (fixed) type, where the material is moved to the sanding belt or disc sander. Stationary belt sander machines are sometimes mounted on a work bench of workshop. Stationary belt sanders are also often combined with disc sander. Belt sander machine is also used for removing of non-ferrous metals, such as aluminium and other materials.

Sanding of wood produces a large amount of sawdust form the wood materials. Therefore, belt sanders employed in woodworking process are usually equipped with some type of dust collection system to remove sawdust. It may be as simple as a cloth filter bag attached to a portable sander or a large vacuum system to suck dust particles away into a central collector.
