Hi guys,
Thought I might share this as it came in pretty handy for me before I got my hands on a thicknesser. Pretty rough but it filled a need and it works.
It's just a standard Carbatec 6x9 belt/disc sander that I slung a board underneath with a pivot and height adjuster screw to allow me to thickness sand boards up to 150mm width and 32mm thickness. Could have increased the depth buy moving the motor capacitor but didn't have the need to. The shroud on the front allows attachment of dust collection (which works a treat) and also ensures fingers can not get anywhere near the belt. I used it exclusively for about a year to precisely thickness boards after rough cutting on the table saw (very handy for boards cut on the table saw which required cutting from both sides due to the limits of the saw depth). It can accommodate 1200mm long boards and will give a consistency of better than 0.1mm over that length. The motor isn't very powerful so fairly light passes are the go.
