Might check into that , a bud has a stroke sander, I don't know the belt size off the top of my head.
Thanks

Let me know, i can go by and pick up a couple for you. "Put your creed in your deed." Emerson

Ok will do, man I wish I had the size handy, I don't know if they are all the same size or not ( the sanders) I have only known 3 or 4 and never actually owned or fed and cared for one.
He's actually in transit to Pa so dunno if.when I can catch him.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

If Sphere's bud does not want them, let me know via e-mail, I'll take the whole lot - will probably have to build a new sander to fit the belts! 24 ft + long belts!
Go head and get em , Art. He is incomunicato now, and I don't have a way of measuring the belt length. At that price, they'll go fast.
Stroke sanders are easy to make, Motor Drive drum, end drum, and tension idler..it's the X-Y table that can be a challange to whip up. Drawer slides on a raisable table is prolly good enough.
The table can about 8' with that size belt. Then make a pair of graphite platens and you're in biz. They sling a lot of dust.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

Fer sure, thanks for the go-ahead. . Came across a bunch of 18" by 72" belts a few years back so built a sander for that, it thows a lot, esp with a 60 grit belt.
Sent a separate e-mail to F.Eddie also.
Got one barn just stuffed with extra tools now, probably need to build another shed just for the 'new' sander..

"Success is not spontaneous combustion, you have to set yourself on Fire"
There wasn't a phone number, just an email addy, so I sent one tonioght asking the guy to call me tomorrow. Told him I want all he has, that should get a response. If I get them, I will do an inventory first and let Art pick what he wants. I wonder how big the box will be?"Put your creed in your deed." Emerson

If he nested them, expect a 20x20 20 box..about 30 lbs=20 bucks to here..to Art? Maybe double that.
I went back to USPS for under 50 lbs, more convenient, for us.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
"Success is not spontaneous combustion, you have to set yourself on Fire"
I just talked with the seller, he's about 90 miles from me, but only about 15 miles from one of my active projects, so I'm going to drop by and get them next Wed when I'm down there again."Put your creed in your deed." Emerson

Sorry rez, you're too late, hold the applause. Art & Duane have already put dibs on the belts. besides, your warehouse is too full already."Put your creed in your deed." Emerson

One thing, once I get the belts I'll finally have a use for that 8" by 10" by 1/2" thick piece of surplus teflon I got stashed someplace <G>
Pro'lly be a year though till I get a round tuit to make the platten. <:(>
quite alright as I need to build a sander like I need another hole in my head.
just applauding you're effort of promoting goodwill.
be good

Ok, here's the rest of the story. I picked them up today, older guy, probably early 60's, has a 2-car garage converted toa woodworking shop, packed full of stuff. He bought the belts on line, ebay I thnk, and I got the impression they were part of a package deal with other stuff. He saw 6" belts and was sure they were 48" long to go on his stationary belt sander. Not. He wouldn't come down on the price, but I thought it was a good deal so I bought all of them. Paid $125 for 92 belts, = $1.36 each.
All are new, some still have original labels. Turns out they are different sizes: looks like I have 289, 292 and 318" long, and not all are marked. Here's what I have:
4 belts grey Norton Adalox P120
The rest are red Siawood, made in Switzerland. (actually I think the product is made in Sw but the belts are cut and glued in NC)
P80 16
P100 20
P120 33
P150 5
P180 14

I'm in for half ( inna week or two).
I "Think" the Idler/tensioner has enough adjustment that the few inches diff "ought" not be a huge problem. And if worse comes to worse, a splice is do-able to make lengths. Common to use a diagonal cut and remove the abrasive for 3/4" or so and lap and glue the ends , but directionality has to be observed.
Thanks Ed.

I can take whatever you don't want.
Probably on travel next week, so need to send a check out this week to Eddie for what's left.
re: check e-mail -- I have not gotten any separate e-mail on the subject.
AFAIK, I'm cool w/half. But you'll eat some higher shipping.
I jsut need a week or two to get the pups all the shots and didn't expect to be dropping a WAD of $$$ on them..they EAT,a nd the rosin paper on the floor gets $$ when ya have 8 poo-ers and Pee-ers every 2 hours.

Hey Rez, I have about 25 belts that I have not shipped to Art & Duane yet ... any interest?"Put your creed in your deed." Emerson
"When asked if you can do something, tell'em "Why certainly I can", then get busy and find a way to do it." T. Roosevelt
the last 2 boxes were waiting for me when I got home late yesterday.
Probably be a few months till I get around to making a sander for them, great belts. Might be longer than a few months to get a round tuit, but hopefull won't have to leave for another panic trip tomorrow, 1st full weekend at home for since Feb.
Thinking of making a 6 foot long belt sander vs. stroke sander as I have a 6 ft piece of 1-1/2" thick dead flat phenolic. Will post pix when I get to building the thing.
All the way across the country put the shipping at more than the belt cost, but helps support USPS<>G?
Putting another check for $80 in the mail today - calculated on your 1.75 indiv. belt price, well worth the trouble you went to package and send.
Thanks again. .
I can't wait to see a 6 ft belt sander. What size wheels? Never mind ... what size motor?"Put your creed in your deed." Emerson
"When asked if you can do something, tell'em "Why certainly I can", then get busy and find a way to do it." T. Roosevelt

I'd bought the last of FastEddies sanding belt stash and when the boxes arrived I was amazed at the stamps since I didn't even know that such large denominators were even issued.

For those curious amongst you, the postmark is Zuni, VA a really small town west of Norfolk. I travel that way alot on a 4-lane hwy that is a great alternate to the interstate, and this is my favorite post office. Never busy, easy in & out. The population of Zuni is only 120 so I suspect they do things a little differently in the PO, like not using metered stickers. Some of the shelving and equipment in there looks like it dates back to the ... well I was going to say the last century but that's not good anymore. It's a nice brick building, about the size of a 2 car garage."Put your creed in your deed." Emerson

Got hold of Terry..yes!
belts Yes!
I'll split em with Art OK?Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
"Success is not spontaneous combustion, you have to set yourself on Fire"
Duane: If Terry uses them professionally, he can take them all if he can put them to production usage.
I would not want to bother building a sander without having about 20 belts, my usage would only be diy. .
Whatever works for everybody ...... not a need on my part, just never can pass up a deal.....
It's not imperative or production as of yet..he is actully just now bringing the machine here from Pa. Thats why I kind of jumped.
I can't lay out the $ at this moment, but sure as shootin can in a few weeks..bad timing is all over me.
if we could split the deal would that workfor you?Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
"Success is not spontaneous combustion, you have to set yourself on Fire"
Split is fine with me.
You responded first, so you can make the call whichever way is best for you.
