Barry, that's a fantastic machine! Sorry for taking so long to respond, but I sorta dropped the project for awhile. I still need a sander, and I still think a wide belt sander is a better option for me than a drum sander. I'm thinking to buy an entry level machine rather than take time to build one.
Your machine is inspiring, though. Part of what I want to do is learn some PLC control and automation technology. I got a start in this working with my CNC, but I'd like to use that same technology to build other shop machines.
I'm inspired by your project. I'm thinking...
