Cheap Belt Sanding
Note: This is not my original idea--I saw it in a woodworking magazine.
The problem: I need a stationary belt sander.
The bigger problem: Said belt sanders start at ~$400 US.
The solution: A hand-held belt sander and a heavy duty vice.
In a nutshell, invert the sander and clamp it in the vice. Plug it in, turn it on, and sand away to your heart's content!

Please, give me a bit of time here. School and work first...although if it was up to me, work would not be in the equation.

Re: Cheap Belt Sanding
Old thread but here's some tips.
Look for an old nitro RC starter box.
You can used the parts from one of those to build a belt sander.
I can throw up some plans but it's stupid easy to build, a couple brackets, a way to tension the belt. The rollers are rubber coated (rubber hose). easy easy

You could use a fan motor to power a belt.
